Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body (英語) ペーパーバック – 2017/9/5
In the last twenty years, meditation and mindfulness have gone from being kind of cool to becoming an omnipresent Band-Aid for fixing everything from your weight to your relationship to your achievement level. Unveiling here the kind of cutting-edge research that has made them giants in their fields, Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson show us the truth about what meditation can really do for us, as well as exactly how to get the most out of it.
Daniel Goleman (著), Richard J. Davidson (著)
津田 講義とセミナーを週に一回ずつやりました。講義は[Early Buddhist Thought and its Tantric Evolution](ゴータマ・ブッ ダの思想とその密教的展開)というタイトルで、私がこの数年来考えている<開放系>(これは依然として仮称なのですが) という考え方から密教思想史について話をしました。密教思想史とはいいましても、ゴータマ・ブッダ(釈尊)に始まって、大 乗、純粋密教を経てタントラ仏教にいたり、さらに日本の空海から覚ばんを経て法然、親鸞にいたろうという、一種の通仏教 的な思想の流れを追おうというものです。
セミナーのほうは『華厳経』を取り上げました。「入法界品」、ガンダヴューハ・スートラですね、そのサンスクリット原典を購 読するのですが、サンスクリットを英語に訳すだけならわりに簡単なんですね。しかし、内容を理解させようとするとどうしても 中国・日本の華厳教学に触れなくてはなりませんので、そういう伝統的な術語表現を英語でどう表現したらいいのか、だい ぶ苦労しました。たとえば、お大師さん(弘法大師空海)の「普賢法界の重重帝網なる即身と名づく」とか、そういう理解です ね。そのスカッとしたところを英語的にどう表現するのか。くどくど説明することならどうにか可能なのですが・・・・・・。
In this study, Sheila A. Smith has availed herself of a massive number of documents and interview surveys and has traced concisely and persuasively the course whereby Japan has been compelled toward the reform of its conservative political system and its security arrangements, which were established with a view to maintaining Japan's position as a leader in Asia. This work suggests that the Japanese experience with China might serve as a lesson for other countries, the United States included, and is an essential read for those interested in the reconstitution of the East Asian order in light of the rise of China.--Ryosei Kokubun, president, National Defense Academy of Japan
