| 附註項 | About the Author The author Rahu Sarath-Chandra (full name Rahubadde K.D.S.Sarath-Chandra) was born in Dodanduwa, Sri Lanka in 1935. He had his school education at Rahula, Mahinda and Ananda colleges in Sri Lanka. Having migrated to Australia in 1978, he now lives in Brisbane, Queensland after retirement. Since schooldays when he won many accolades for his unusual understanding of Buddhism, his lifetime interest has been Buddhism and its practical application to life. As an adult he has been examining methods of teaching Buddhism and Buddhist meditation. He has in fact been teaching Buddhism and Buddhist meditation, testing various methods. He has always felt that these methods must be continually adapted to suit the needs and conditions of the times. Of late he has been collating his teaching material to publish a series of books, and this book is the first of these. His education and employment took him through many fields of study and work. He first graduated in 1959 from the University of Ceylon with a degree in Science (B.Sc.) specializing in Mathematics. He then obtained an arts degree (B.A.) including Education from the Vidyalankara University of Sri Lanka, and later a law degree (LL.B) from the Colombo University. His first glimpse of Western philosophy and psychology was in connection with the B.A. degree. In 1969 he qualified through the Ceylon Law College as an advocate (equivalent of barrister) of the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka, and in 1975 as an accountant with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants in the United Kingdom. He is a fellow of that institute and also a CPA of the Certified Practising Accountants Association of Australia. The author has a Diploma in Buddhism from the Colombo YMBA, Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka he was an active social worker, working for a number of organisations. While being a university student he was president of the All-Ceylon Buddhist Students Federation, one of the largest organisations in Sri Lanka. |

| 摘要 | This is a unique exposition of the elements of Buddhist Psychology in simple terms using illustrations from day to day real experience aiming at immediate results in our search for happiness and success, and the avoidance of harmful mental conditions that cause loss and pain. The book (168 pages A5) is equally useful for those practising in the mental health profession, and for people who have an interest in seeking success and happiness based on the development of the mind. The book will be a useful tool for spiritual seekers. Topics covered include the ultimate bases of mental deficiencies and mental problems together with suggested approaches to general solutions. The book deals with the common mental states that cause us problems, unhappiness and failure in life and suggests solutions. Dependable methods of clearing, managing and developing of the mind are discussed in very simple terms, using familiar Australian settings. The formation and effect of perceptions, how to use these to our advantage, and how to avoid becoming slaves to our perceptions, and how perceptions manipulate memory are also discussed. The value of concepts and practices in Buddhist Psychology as compared with similar concepts and practices in the well known schools of Western Psychology are examined. Other topics include consciousness, senses and sensations, memory, analysis of the thought process, analysis of the individual and models to depict the structure and operation of the mind. |
