1. 英文版学佛资料
佛经应该有英文版的吧,看佛经啊。
学习佛法经典是大家都可以做到的(学佛入门)
我们刚刚开始接触佛法的朋友经常带有很多从社会上带来的各种各样的观念,对佛法先入为主有很多观念,这些观念有的是佛法的教导,有的并非和佛法一致。
掺杂了很多从佛法角度来说是不正确的见解。所以刚刚接触佛法的朋友,最重要的是不能先入为主认为佛法就是如何如何,因为我们从前了解的未必真的是符合佛法
佛法其实简单易懂,并不难学。因为释迦牟尼佛,是一位最有智慧的人,他给大家讲述的道理,都是能让大家很快理解通达的。在讲述佛法这件事情上,古往今来没有任何一个人能够超越世尊(世尊是佛弟子对释迦牟尼佛的尊称)。
我们先说一个经常接触到的问题,总是有人和我们说:佛经非常深奥,我们怎么读懂?甚至有的学佛之后还和别人讲,佛经是你能看明白的吗?以种种理由阻碍大家接触真正的佛法。
这是一种挺常见的错误理解。
佛经并不是一种枯燥无味,讲述玄而又玄的理论的撰述,普通人根本看不懂。深奥的部分有,但世尊能够以无碍辩才、最高的智慧把这些深奥的问题讲述的简单易懂。
经典其实就是释迦牟尼佛在和自己的学生们谈话的记录。我们学习这些经典,其实也就是听释迦牟尼佛讲课。
那些认为普通人看不懂经典的、或者认为普通人不明白经典意思的,有些小瞧世尊的智慧了。如果是一个已经三皈依的佛弟子,就更不该抱有这样的观念、宣传这样的观念。这本身就是对佛法的歪曲和诬蔑。难道一个有智慧的人却讲不清楚自己想表达的意思?甚至无法令他人明白自己的想法?如果说一个蠢笨的人或许可能,但一个有智慧的人肯定不会。在《维摩诘经》中讲的: 佛以一音演说法,众生随类各得解 。就是最好的说明
如果说佛讲述的经典你看不懂,非要借助他人的讲述才可以了解的话,就如同说特级教师讲的你听不懂,还是找个普通教师讲你才能听懂一样,这种道理荒谬不荒谬?
事实上在释迦牟尼佛的讲述中,我们很清楚地看到他的态度:
《般泥恒经》: 且夫一切去来现佛。皆从法得。经法且存。但当自勉勤学力行。持清净心。趣得度脱。
在此经当中,世尊讲:一切诸佛之所以成佛,都是从修行佛法得来的,佛法经典存在,就该勤于学习,依照佛法力行,秉持清静心,趣向解脱。
这里讲的很清楚,佛法在经典中记录着,只要经典在、佛法尚在,就该勤勉学习。这是释迦牟尼佛的教导。又有谁能自称佛弟子却否认世尊的教导呢?所以大家都该学习佛法,都可以学习经典。
还有人说,佛法非常深奥,你根本不能明白经典的意思,必须要靠老师给你讲解才行。这样的说法对吗?
这种说法其实非常颠倒糊涂的。如果说佛讲述的经典你看不懂,非要借助他人的讲述才可以了解的话,就如同说特级教师讲的你听不懂,还是找个普通教师讲你才能听懂一样,这种道理荒谬不荒谬?
且不说经典就是世尊对大家的教导,尤其是对普通大众的教导,如何会不明白?单就这种逻辑而言,就是十分矛盾的。假如一个人根本不懂得经典、不明白其中的意思,他又如何肯定这位老师讲述的就是经典中的东西呢?
很多依附于佛法的骗子,就是用这种观念迷惑人。让人误把错误的观念当作了佛法、却不去追究。
世尊同样对是依照经典,还是依照老师有过讲述。
《文殊师利问经》: 既闻法已如说修行。若依经书若依师说。
这里说的非常明白了,听闻佛法后,如说修行。依靠什么呢?要么依靠经典、要么依靠老师。但是经典是第一选择。为什么呢?在我们这个时代,佛法称为末法,有各种各样奇奇怪怪,不符合佛法教导,却冒用佛法之名的东西。在《楞严经》中讲: 邪师说法如恒河沙 。就是说这种宣传邪见的人太多太多了。
在这种情况下,你如果自己不能了解什么是佛法,那么听信一个老师的讲述,就有了非常大的风险。除非你能鉴别他说的是否和经典讲的一样。
而这种宣传邪见的人或许很有名气、很有地位、受不少人尊敬。靠这些外部条件,你去挑选一位老师依然是非常冒险的。
即便我们运气很好,碰到这么一位好的、真正的明师,但问题在于他并非佛陀,并未成佛的话,他的讲述也未必能够完全和佛法一致。
这些因素导致了我们现在学佛唯一能够依靠的就是世尊讲述的经典。这是我们学佛的根本。
还有人说佛讲的是好,但未必有人和佛有缘,或许需要借助他人才可以学习。还举出经典中释迦牟尼佛曾经讲法有人不听,阿难去讲这人却听了的例子。我们不否认这样的情况,但是谁能知道这个人肯定就和释迦牟尼佛无缘呢?这要试过才知道。何况即便释迦牟尼佛知道对方听了未必肯信,依然是把该说的说了,这绝不是毫无意义的事情。世尊可没说这个人和我无缘,干脆我就不说了
这才是学佛的朋友们一定要了解的:
学佛的第一选择就是学习释迦牟尼佛的教导。哪怕你开始并不完全能够了解接受。但学佛总要学习真正的佛法,不能学了多少年才知道自己学的根本不是佛法,是假冒伪劣产品。
而且学习经典是十分有趣的事情,是学习佛法的捷径。
不过提醒大家的是,我们这里谈论的内容,各位最好也能够依照经典来对照。这一点,是佛弟子一定要做的。这是世尊明确嘱咐过的。无论他打着谁的旗号,有多大名气,都不能盲目相信,一定要和经典对照之后,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. 佛教的英文介绍
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.
