歷史共業


每次天災人禍
都會有人宣稱
這是歷史共業
意思是說
天災人禍
是造就歷史學家
和佛學專家的搖籃
我不是歷史學家
也不是佛學專家
這點不用懷疑

Nishitani's understanding of selfless love extends not just to encounters with other people but with anything: “This must be a standpoint where one sees one's self in all things, in living things, in hills and rivers, towns and hamlets, tiles and stones, and loves all these things ‘as oneself.’ (2211/3699)

Fire burns without burning (itself), the eye sees without seeing (itself), water washes without washing (itself), and the enlightened person acts compassionately by being a self that is not a self. (2250/3699)
