阿彌陀佛 2.0:從好死到好命
對大學生來說,「死亡」好像是一件很遙遠的事情。然而,無常其實是每個人生命的一部分。我們可能會經歷親人、朋友,或寵物的離世,而最終,每一個人都會面對死亡。
隨著社會的改變,人們對於什麼是「好死」的想法也在改變。這些想法會受到在地文化、宗教信仰、現代醫學,以及其他社會發展的影響。
本次演講將透過觀察台灣當代佛教如何面對老化、臨終與死亡的課題、來討論在當代社會中我們如何理解與想像「善終」。最後以及來思考準備「善終」怎麼包含如何好好變老,以及如何從今天開始過一個好的生活。
Amitabha 2.0: From a Good Death to a Good Life
For university students, dying and death often seem very far away. Yet impermanence is part of everyone’s life. We may experience the loss of loved ones, friends, or even a pet. And eventually, all of us will face death.
As societies change, ideas about what counts as a “good death” also change. These ideas are shaped by local traditions, religious beliefs, modern medicine, and many other social developments.
This lecture explores these changes by looking at how Taiwanese Buddhists respond to questions of aging, dying, and death today. Through this example, we will also reflect together on the many possible ways of thinking about a good death in contemporary society.
We will explore how preparing for a good death also involves aging well, and how this preparation ultimately points toward living a good life that begins today.
