阿姜查的禪修世界：戒
Ajahn Chah
2004
不論你是不是佛教徒，這本書都將帶給你真正的平靜。 對於關心阿姜查教法的讀者，這一套三本的《阿姜查的禪修世界》是不可不擁有的完整輯錄。這套書將歷來發行過的阿姜查英文出版品，依戒、定、慧三學重新整編，在阿姜查逝世十週年的時候紀念出版。實為阿姜查最完整的法語輯錄。對於不認識阿姜查的讀者來說，阿姜查的這套書，讀來輕鬆幽默，卻蘊意深遠；即使是不修習佛法的讀者，也可以在其中盡情欣賞一個親切長者的智慧風采。 阿姜查是現代南傳佛教森林派的偉大行者，早年受過完整的傳統僧侶教育，通過最高級的正規佛學課程考試，但最後卻放棄學業，選擇了森林苦行僧的方式來追求佛法上的證悟。他的追隨者無數，上至王公貴族，下至販夫走卒，他都能以適切的方式教導，時而嚴厲，時而風趣，直戳你心底深處。 阿姜查的教導，不強調任何形式的打坐，而以隨時觀察自己的心為主，他要我們明白，死亡是無可逃避的，唯一的出路就是訓練自己的心，安住於無為法中。只有這樣解脫才是可能的。阿姜查圓寂後，他的喪禮有一百萬人參加，其中包括泰國國王與王后。而他的法教，也隨著他眾多的西方弟子散播到世界各地。 此次將南傳佛教大師阿姜查說法的語錄合輯，共分為戒、定、慧三冊，內容是阿姜查對於「戒、定、慧」的真實體驗，而非只是對經典的詮釋，此為第一部「戒」。 本書深刻釐清一般人對「戒」的排拒和疑惑，其實戒律，是對我們尚不穩定的心予以保護它的目的不是為了掌控，而是讓我們隨時保持覺知和觀照所以，犯戒非關道德的懲罰，只是顯示自己正念還不夠。 出版社 橡樹林文化 (城邦)
