1. 英文版學佛資料
佛經應該有英文版的吧,看佛經啊。
學習佛法經典是大家都可以做到的(學佛入門)
我們剛剛開始接觸佛法的朋友經常帶有很多從社會上帶來的各種各樣的觀念,對佛法先入為主有很多觀念,這些觀念有的是佛法的教導,有的並非和佛法一致。
摻雜了很多從佛法角度來說是不正確的見解。所以剛剛接觸佛法的朋友,最重要的是不能先入為主認為佛法就是如何如何,因為我們從前了解的未必真的是符合佛法
佛法其實簡單易懂,並不難學。因為釋迦牟尼佛,是一位最有智慧的人,他給大家講述的道理,都是能讓大家很快理解通達的。在講述佛法這件事情上,古往今來沒有任何一個人能夠超越世尊(世尊是佛弟子對釋迦牟尼佛的尊稱)。
我們先說一個經常接觸到的問題,總是有人和我們說:佛經非常深奧,我們怎麼讀懂?甚至有的學佛之後還和別人講,佛經是你能看明白的嗎?以種種理由阻礙大家接觸真正的佛法。
這是一種挺常見的錯誤理解。
佛經並不是一種枯燥無味,講述玄而又玄的理論的撰述,普通人根本看不懂。深奧的部分有,但世尊能夠以無礙辯才、最高的智慧把這些深奧的問題講述的簡單易懂。
經典其實就是釋迦牟尼佛在和自己的學生們談話的記錄。我們學習這些經典,其實也就是聽釋迦牟尼佛講課。
那些認為普通人看不懂經典的、或者認為普通人不明白經典意思的,有些小瞧世尊的智慧了。如果是一個已經三皈依的佛弟子,就更不該抱有這樣的觀念、宣傳這樣的觀念。這本身就是對佛法的歪曲和誣蔑。難道一個有智慧的人卻講不清楚自己想表達的意思?甚至無法令他人明白自己的想法?如果說一個蠢笨的人或許可能,但一個有智慧的人肯定不會。在《維摩詰經》中講的: 佛以一音演說法,眾生隨類各得解 。就是最好的說明
如果說佛講述的經典你看不懂,非要藉助他人的講述才可以了解的話,就如同說特級教師講的你聽不懂,還是找個普通教師講你才能聽懂一樣,這種道理荒謬不荒謬?
事實上在釋迦牟尼佛的講述中,我們很清楚地看到他的態度:
《般泥恆經》: 且夫一切去來現佛。皆從法得。經法且存。但當自勉勤學力行。持清凈心。趣得度脫。
在此經當中,世尊講:一切諸佛之所以成佛,都是從修行佛法得來的,佛法經典存在,就該勤於學習,依照佛法力行,秉持清靜心,趣向解脫。
這里講的很清楚,佛法在經典中記錄著,只要經典在、佛法尚在,就該勤勉學習。這是釋迦牟尼佛的教導。又有誰能自稱佛弟子卻否認世尊的教導呢?所以大家都該學習佛法,都可以學習經典。
還有人說,佛法非常深奧,你根本不能明白經典的意思,必須要靠老師給你講解才行。這樣的說法對嗎?
這種說法其實非常顛倒糊塗的。如果說佛講述的經典你看不懂,非要藉助他人的講述才可以了解的話,就如同說特級教師講的你聽不懂,還是找個普通教師講你才能聽懂一樣,這種道理荒謬不荒謬?
且不說經典就是世尊對大家的教導,尤其是對普通大眾的教導,如何會不明白?單就這種邏輯而言,就是十分矛盾的。假如一個人根本不懂得經典、不明白其中的意思,他又如何肯定這位老師講述的就是經典中的東西呢?
很多依附於佛法的騙子,就是用這種觀念迷惑人。讓人誤把錯誤的觀念當作了佛法、卻不去追究。
世尊同樣對是依照經典,還是依照老師有過講述。
《文殊師利問經》: 既聞法已如說修行。若依經書若依師說。
這里說的非常明白了,聽聞佛法後,如說修行。依靠什麼呢?要麼依靠經典、要麼依靠老師。但是經典是第一選擇。為什麼呢?在我們這個時代,佛法稱為末法,有各種各樣奇奇怪怪,不符合佛法教導,卻冒用佛法之名的東西。在《楞嚴經》中講: 邪師說法如恆河沙 。就是說這種宣傳邪見的人太多太多了。
在這種情況下,你如果自己不能了解什麼是佛法,那麼聽信一個老師的講述,就有了非常大的風險。除非你能鑒別他說的是否和經典講的一樣。
而這種宣傳邪見的人或許很有名氣、很有地位、受不少人尊敬。靠這些外部條件,你去挑選一位老師依然是非常冒險的。
即便我們運氣很好,碰到這么一位好的、真正的明師,但問題在於他並非佛陀,並未成佛的話,他的講述也未必能夠完全和佛法一致。
這些因素導致了我們現在學佛唯一能夠依靠的就是世尊講述的經典。這是我們學佛的根本。
還有人說佛講的是好,但未必有人和佛有緣,或許需要藉助他人才可以學習。還舉出經典中釋迦牟尼佛曾經講法有人不聽,阿難去講這人卻聽了的例子。我們不否認這樣的情況,但是誰能知道這個人肯定就和釋迦牟尼佛無緣呢?這要試過才知道。何況即便釋迦牟尼佛知道對方聽了未必肯信,依然是把該說的說了,這絕不是毫無意義的事情。世尊可沒說這個人和我無緣,乾脆我就不說了
這才是學佛的朋友們一定要了解的:
學佛的第一選擇就是學習釋迦牟尼佛的教導。哪怕你開始並不完全能夠了解接受。但學佛總要學習真正的佛法,不能學了多少年才知道自己學的根本不是佛法,是假冒偽劣產品。
而且學習經典是十分有趣的事情,是學習佛法的捷徑。
不過提醒大家的是,我們這里談論的內容,各位最好也能夠依照經典來對照。這一點,是佛弟子一定要做的。這是世尊明確囑咐過的。無論他打著誰的旗號,有多大名氣,都不能盲目相信,一定要和經典對照之後,符合才相信。

Buddhism (bʊd'ĭzəm) , religion and philosophy founded in India c.525 B.C. by Siddhartha Gautama, called the Buddha. There are over 300 million Buddhists worldwide. One of the great world religions, it is divided into two main schools: the Theravada or Hinayana in Sri Lanka and SE Asia, and the Mahayana in China, Mongolia, Korea, and Japan. A third school, the Vajrayana, has a long tradition in Tibet and Japan. Buddhism has largely disappeared from its country of origin, India, except for the presence there of many refugees from the Tibet region of China and a small number of converts from the lower castes of Hinism.
Basic Beliefs and Practices
The basic doctrines of early Buddhism, which remain common to all Buddhism, include the 「four noble truths」: existence is suffering (khka); suffering has a cause, namely craving and attachment (trishna); there is a cessation of suffering, which is nirvana; and there is a path to the cessation of suffering, the 「eightfold path」 of right views, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. Buddhism characteristically describes reality in terms of process and relation rather than entity or substance.
Experience is analyzed into five aggregates (skandhas). The first, form (rupa), refers to material existence; the following four, sensations (vedana), perceptions (samjna), psychic constructs (samskara), and consciousness (vijnana), refer to psychological processes. The central Buddhist teaching of non-self (anatman) asserts that in the five aggregates no independently existent, immutable self, or soul, can be found. All phenomena arise in interrelation and in dependence on causes and conditions, and thus are subject to inevitable decay and cessation. The casual conditions are defined in a 12-membered chain called dependent origination (pratityasamutpada) whose links are: ignorance, predisposition, consciousness, name-form, the senses, contact, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, old age, and death, whence again ignorance.
With this distinctive view of cause and effect, Buddhism accepts the pan-Indian presupposition of samsara, in which living beings are trapped in a continual cycle of birth-and-death, with the momentum to rebirth provided by one's previous physical and mental actions (see karma). The release from this cycle of rebirth and suffering is the total transcendence called nirvana.
From the beginning, meditation and observance of moral precepts were the foundation of Buddhist practice. The five basic moral precepts, undertaken by members of monastic orders and the laity, are to refrain from taking life, stealing, acting unchastely, speaking falsely, and drinking intoxicants. Members of monastic orders also take five additional precepts: to refrain from eating at improper times, from viewing secular entertainments, from using garlands, perfumes, and other bodily adornments, from sleeping in high and wide beds, and from receiving money. Their lives are further regulated by a large number of rules known as the Pratimoksa. The monastic order (sangha) is venerated as one of the 「three jewels,」 along with the dharma, or religious teaching, and the Buddha. Lay practices such as the worship of stupas (burial mounds containing relics) predate Buddhism and gave rise to later ritualistic and devotional practices.
Early Buddhism
India ring the lifetime of the Buddha was in a state of religious and cultural ferment. Sects, teachers, and wandering ascetics abounded, espousing widely varying philosophical views and religious practices. Some of these sects derived from the Brahmanical tradition (see Hinism), while others opposed the Vedic and Upanishadic ideas of that tradition. Buddhism, which denied both the efficacy of Vedic ritual and the validity of the caste system, and which spread its teachings using vernacular languages rather than Brahmanical Sanskrit, was by far the most successful of the heterodox or non-Vedic systems. Buddhist tradition tells how Siddhartha Gautama, born a prince and raised in luxury, renounced the world at the age of 29 to search for an ultimate solution to the problem of the suffering innate in the human condition. After six years of spiritual discipline he achieved the supreme enlightment and spent the remaining 45 years of his life teaching and establishing a community of monks and nuns, the sangha, to continue his work.
After the Buddha's death his teachings were orally transmitted until the 1st cent. B.C., when they were first committed to writing (see Buddhist literature; Pali). Conflicting opinions about monastic practice as well as religious and philosophical issues, especially concerning the analyses of experience elaborated as the systems of Abhidharma, probably caused differing sects to flourish rapidly. Knowledge of early differences is limited, however, because the earliest extant written version of the scriptures (1st cent. A.D.) is the Pali canon of the Theravada school of Sri Lanka. Although the Theravada [doctrine of the elders] is known to be only one of many early Buddhist schools (traditionally numbered at 18), its beliefs as described above are generally accepted as representative of the early Buddhist doctrine. The ideal of early Buddhism was the perfected saintly sage, arahant or arhat, who attained liberation by purifying self of all defilements and desires.
The Rise of Mahayana Buddhism
The positions advocated by Mahayana [great vehicle] Buddhism, which distinguishes itself from the Theravada and related schools by calling them Hinayana [lesser vehicle], evolved from other of the early Buddhist schools. The Mahayana emerges as a definable movement in the 1st cent. B.C., with the appearance of a new class of literature called the Mahayana sutras. The main philosophical tenet of the Mahayana is that all things are empty, or devoid of self-nature (see sunyata). Its chief religious ideal is the bodhisattva, which supplanted the earlier ideal of the arahant, and is distinguished from it by the vow to postpone entry into nirvana (although meriting it) until all other living beings are similarly enlightened and saved.
The bodhisattva is an actual religious goal for lay and monastic Buddhists, as well as the name for a class of celestial beings who are worshiped along with the Buddha. The Mahayana developed doctrines of the eternal and absolute nature of the Buddha, of which the historical Buddha is regarded as a temporary manifestation. Teachings on the intrinsic purity of consciousness generated ideas of potential Buddhahood in all living beings. The chief philosophical schools of Indian Mahayana were the Madhyamika, founded by Nagarjuna (2d cent. A.D.), and the Yogacara, founded by the brothers Asanga and Vasubandhu (4th cent. A.D.). In this later Indian period, authors in different schools wrote specialized treatises, Buddhist logic was systematized, and the practices of Tantra came into prominence.
The Spread of Buddhism
In the 3d cent. B.C. the Indian emperor Asoka greatly strengthened Buddhism by his support and sent Buddhist missionaries as far afield as Syria. In succeeding centuries, however, the Hin revival initiated the graal decline of Buddhism in India. The invasions of the White Huns (6th cent.) and the Muslims (11th cent.) were also significant factors behind the virtual extinction of Buddhism in India by the 13th cent.
In the meantime, however, its beliefs had spread widely. Sri Lanka was converted to Buddhism in the 3d cent. B.C., and Buddhism has remained its national religion. After taking up residence in Sri Lanka, the Indian Buddhist scholar Buddhaghosa (5th cent. A.D.) proced some of Theravada Buddhism's most important scholastic writings. In the 7th cent. Buddhism entered Tibet, where it has flourished, drawing its philosophical influences mainly from the Madhyamika, and its practices from the Tantra.
Buddhism came to SE Asia in the first five centuries A.D. All Buddhist schools were initially established, but the surviving forms today are mostly Theravada. About the 1st cent. A.D. Buddhism entered China along trade routes from central Asia, initiating a four-century period of graal assimilation. In the 3d and 4th cent. Buddhist concepts were interpreted by analogy with indigenous ideas, mainly Taoist, but the work of the great translators Kumarajiva and Hsüan-tsang provided the basis for better understanding of Buddhist concepts.
The 6th cent. saw the development of the great philosophical schools, each centering on a certain scripture and having a lineage of teachers. Two such schools, the T'ien-t'ai and the Hua-Yen, hierarchically arranged the widely varying scriptures and doctrines that had come to China from India, giving preeminence to their own school and scripture. Branches of Madhyamika and Yogacara were also founded. The two great nonacademic sects were Ch'an or Zen Buddhism, whose chief practice was sitting in meditation to achieve 「sudden enlightenment,」 and Pure Land Buddhism, which advocated repetition of the name of the Buddha Amitabha to attain rebirth in his paradise.
Chinese Buddhism encountered resistance from Confucianism and Taoism, and opposition from the government, which was threatened by the growing power of the tax-exempt sangha. The great persecution by the emperor Wu-tsung (845) dealt Chinese Buddhism a blow from which it never fully recovered. The only schools that retained vitality were Zen and Pure Land, which increasingly fused with one another and with the native traditions, and after the decline of Buddhism in India, neo-Confucianism rose to intellectual and cultural dominance.
From China and Korea, Buddhism came to Japan. Schools of philosophy and monastic discipline were transmitted first (6th cent.–8th cent.), but ring the Heian period (794–1185) a conservative form of Tantric Buddhism became widely popular among the nobility. Zen and Pure Land grew to become popular movements after the 13th cent. After World War II new sects arose in Japan, such as the Soka Gakkai, an outgrowth of the nationalistic sect founded by Nichiren (1222–82), and the Risshokoseikai, attracting many followers.

7. 佛教的英文介紹
Buddhism is a dharmic religion and a philosophy. Buddhism is also known as Buddha Dharma or Dhamma, which means roughly the "teachings of the Awakened One" in Sanskrit and Pali, languages of ancient Buddhist texts. Buddhism was founded around the fifth century BCE by Siddhartha Gautama, hereafter referred to as "the Buddha".
Origin
Prince Siddhartha Gautama is believed by Buddhists to have been born in Lumbini and raised in Kapilavastu near the present-day Indian-Nepalese border. After his attainment of "Awakening" (bodhi - popularly called "Enlightenment" in the West) at the age of 35, he was known as Buddha or Gautama Buddha. He spent some 45 years teaching his insights (Dharma). According to scholars, he lived around the fifth century BCE, but his more exact birthdate is open to debate. He died around the age of 80 in Kushinagara (India).
Buddhism spread throughout the Indian subcontinent and into neighboring countries (such as Sri Lanka) in the five centuries following the Buddha's passing. It spread further into Asia and elsewhere over the next two millennia.
Divisions
The original teachings and monastic organization established by Buddha can be referred to as pre-sectarian Buddhism, but all the current divisions within Buddhism are too much influenced by later history to warrant inclusion under this name The most frequently used classification of present-day Buddhism among scholars divides present-day adherents into the following three traditions or geographical or cultural areas: Theravada, East Asian Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism.
An alternative scheme used by some scholars has two divisions, Theravada and Mahayana, with the latter including the last two traditions above. This scheme is that of ordinary usage in the English language. Some scholarsuse other schemes. Buddhists themselves have a variety of other schemes.
Buddhism Today
Indian Buddhism had become virtually extinct, but is now again gaining strength. Buddhism continues to attract followers around the world and is considered a major world religion. While estimates of the number of Buddhist followers range from 230 to 500 million worldwide, most estimates are around 350 million, or 310 million. However, estimates are uncertain for several countries. According to one analysis, Buddhism is the fifth-largest religion in the world behind Christianity, Islam, Hinism, and traditional Chinese religion. The monks' order (Sangha), which began ring the lifetime of the Buddha in India, is amongst the oldest organizations on earth.
