缘起...

过去的几十年里, 我一直是个无宗教信仰的人. 停留在信仰的空白区, 可佛可主, 不佛不主, 有些基督教朋友拉我信教, 但因为对新旧约的理论有太多懝问而无意接受, 而在过去的生活环境中又没有懂真正佛法的人, 所以我对佛教的情形也一无所知. 但在几年前, 于因缘认识父亲的一名朋友, 他让我接触了佛法. 而最终引起了我今天研读佛经的兴趣.

在求知的过程中, 我发现了很多. 在佛经里, 我日以继夜的发掘, 探求. 虽然时间不长, 所获有限, 但在发掘的过程中, 使我感到佛法的高深圆融, 博大精微. 但在部份朋友的眼中, 却以为我对佛法着了迷, 走到消极逃世的路上, 进而误解到佛教是使人迷信的宗教. 因此我希望有日能把我所知的佛教写出来, 给这些朋友们作个参考.

Memories of the Sink of RMS Titanic

The Titanic was a British registered four funnelled ocean liner built for the transatlantic passenger and mail service between Southampton and New York.
 
Constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland she was, at the time of her maiden voyage, the largest vessel afloat.
 
On April 10th 1912 the Titanic set sail from Southampton with 2,200+ passengers and crew, four days later the Titanic collided with an iceberg and sank. In the morning of the April 15th 1912, more than 1500 people died and merely 700 survived.
 
It is 96 years and 3 days since Titanic was lost.

Are You Experiencing These??

You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of your god.

You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from lesser life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dust.

You laugh at polytheist, but you have no problem believing in a "Trinity" God.

Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethic groups in "Joshua", including women, children, animals and even trees.

You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs, will spend eternity in an infinite hell of suffering. And yet you consider your religion the most "tolerant" and " loving".

You are willing to spend your life looking for a little loop-holes in the SCIENTIFICALLY established age of earth is 4.55 billion years old, but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by pre-historic tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that the earth is only 6000 years old.

While modern science, history, geology, biology and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiots rolling around in the church speaking to the air may be all the evidence you need to prove your god.

You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of god.

My dear friends, if you are having the above symptoms, don't worry!!! It simply indicates that you are a Christian either without reasoning ability, or having great ignorance ability. It can be cured by yourself thru education, knowledge, logic thinking, reasoning or even simple common senses, of coz, only if you are willing to be cured.......
