| 摘要 | The history of the Buddha Gotama’s Great Renunciation begins withthree major episodes of which each disciple knows very well.Young prince Siddhattha walks accompanied by his assistant anddiscovers multiple scenes of earthly sorrow. He meets a sick person, a frail old man and a person who lay dead on a stretcher. Deeply moved,after witnessing the vulnerability of the human body, he returns to the palace with a heavy heart.Prince Siddhattha shaken and disturbed by his visions of human grief, spends days and nights in reflection, contemplating the reasons and possibility of liberation from the dilemma of old age, illness and death. He needs to find the answers. We live now in an Information age, hearing daily about the horrors of life. The mass media bombards us with news of the next tsunami or act of terrorism, from which hundreds and even thousands of people perish. Hospitals and funeral parlours render a non-stop service yet citizens pass by without reflecting. Sooner or later, they will surely come to these same doors. Strangely enough, samvega, pasāda and nibbida aren't written about in most works, and the impression is made that these subjects aren't publicly expressed. Thanks to venerable Thanissaro Bhikkhu we have an interesting article about samvega and pasāda. Other separate compositions specifically on these subjects were difficult to find. I chose my dissertation on samvega and pasāda because I consider these subjects highly important in comprehending the full understanding of the Dhamma. Personally I have met many self-proclaimed Buddhists who ignore or reject all these feelings and even the Four Noble Truths. Without recognizing, without first understanding suffering there can be no end or escape from it. When one is full of disappointment and desire, Evmenenko: Samvega, Pasāda and Nibbida it is difficult to develop the necessary attitude to solve the problem of suffering. We live now during an Information age, hearing daily about the horrors of life. The mass media bombards us with news of the next tsunami or act of terrorism, from which hundreds and even thousands of people perish. Hospitals and funeral parlours render a non-stop service, yet citizens pass by without reflecting. Sooner or later, they will surely come to these same doors. |
