龍樹菩薩的智慧課程5：藥師佛與龍樹大師的智慧的靜修營 (2023, Arizona)

龙树菩萨的智慧课程5：药师佛与龙树大师的智慧的静修营

在这堂课中，我们将继续探索龙树的《智慧》。这是有史以来最著名的关于佛教最重要思想的著作：空性，它阐明并成为随后所有空性教义的基础。格西麦克·罗奇会带领我们探索龙树菩萨著作的思路及深意，以及如何将他的理解实际应用到我们的日常生活中。

《智慧》 的 27个章节里的篇诗每一篇都对一个独特的想法或问题进行了考察，以帮助我们理解我们*相信*事物是如何运作的方式可能不仅仅是怀疑…近 2000 年来，人们研究了这些诗词并想知道这些章节的顺序背后的含义是什么，所提出的每个想法之间的联系是什么。虽然有些章节显然属于同一章节，但需要深入研究才能辨别龙树菩萨的想法。

而我们在《智慧》之后的文学经典中也很少有解释，其中之一就是丘尼喇嘛。他的评论非常广泛，然而他对章节顺序的理由异于常规的解释了这本书！

然后，我们的工作将是学习和理解这本书，并将我们自己对为什么龙树菩萨以他的方式和顺序解释主题的诠释整理好。然后，我们会问自己一个问题：这实际上对我们的日常生活有何帮助？也许，最终我们每个人在章节顺序中找到的意义将独特地帮助我们解开个人生活中的斗争和挑战，以便我们能够找到更多的平静、喜乐和满足。

In these classes, we will continue our exploration of Nagarjuna’s Wisdom, the most famous book ever written on Buddhism’s most important idea: emptiness, which clarified and became the basis of all subsequent emptiness teachings. Geshe Michael Roach will lead us through an investigation into the flow and the deeper meaning of Nagarjuna’s writings, and how to apply his understanding practically into our daily lives.

Each of Wisdom’s 27 chapters of poetry presents an investigation of a unique idea or question to help us understand that the way we *believe* things work in our world perhaps is more than suspect. For almost 2000 years people have studied these poems and wondered what the meaning is behind the order of these chapters and what is the connection between each of the ideas presented. While some of the chapters obviously belong together, it requires a deep examination to discern what Nagarjuna had in mind.

And we have very few explanations in the canon of literature after Wisdom, one of which is Choney Lama. His commentary is quite extensive, yet his rationale for the order of the chapters explains the book out of order!

Our work then will be to study and understand the book, and put together our own interpretation of why Nagarjuna explained topics in the way and order he does. Then, we will ask ourselves the question: how does this actually help us in our day-to-day life? Perhaps, ultimately the meaning that each of us finds in the order of the chapters will uniquely help us to unravel the struggles and challenges in our personal lives so we can find more peace, happiness, and fulfilment.

This is our 5th course in this series exploring Arya Nagarjuna’s “Wisdom”. Geshe Michael stressed the importance of reviewing the previous Nagarjuna courses. He said,

I encourage you to go back and look at the earlier segments on The Knowledge Base. If you weren’t there for the first eight chapters, then I really encourage you to look at the videos for the first eight chapters because this book is deep. And if you don’t have a good foundation in the earlier chapters, you’re going to have trouble in the later chapters. You’re going to have trouble in the first chapters with all the preparation, but you’re going to have more trouble if you don’t prepare.
