世界名人谈佛陀
佛的教理即是法
佛所宣说的一切教理可用“达磨——法”一词为概括,这种正法不仅存在于我们人的内心,而且还存在于整个宇宙。整个宇宙乃是法的体现和展示。现代科学所发现的自然规律也是法的展示。
月亮的升起和回落乃是法的作用。因为法存在于宇宙,规定万物的运动方式,这是物理学、化学、动物学、植物学和天文学上的研究范畴,法存在于宇宙就像它存在于人类内心一样。如果人能如法生活,他将会远离苦难,获得涅槃。
——摩西陀
Dhamma is the Law
All the teachings of the Buddha can
be summed up in one word:"Dhamma". This law of righteousness,
exists not only in a man's heart but it exists in the universe also.
All the universe is an embodiment or revelation of Dhamma. The laws
of nature which modern science have discovered are revelations of
Dhamma.
If the Moon rises and sets, it is
because of Dhamma, for Dhamma is that law residing in the universe
that makes matter act in the ways studied in physics, chemistry,
zoology, botany and astronomy. Dhamma exists in the universe just
as Dhamma exists in the heart of man. If man will live by Dhamma,
he will escape misery and attain Nibbana.
~Ven.A.Mahinda
