佛教的生命价值论

Buddhist Insight into the Value of Life

佛教是关于人生的宗教,追求对于生死的超越。它对于生命意义和价值的探讨,具有独特的视角和观点,在存有意义上对生命做了苦的价值判断;而在本真的意义上,佛教认为生命的意义在于超越,能够实现永恒,并在此基础之上展开了关于生死关系的论述,强调生与死相非相即相入,并且相互转化,人生的意义就是要斩断生死的因果联系,达于涅槃的境界。

Buddhism is a kind of religion about life, which emphasizes the transcendence of life and death. Holding that the value of life lies in its bitterness through examining its existence, it is characterized by its unique insight into the significance and value of life; however, given its real meaning, Buddhism attributes the significance of life to its transcendental property and perpetuity. It even discusses the relations between life and death, stressing that they are different, inter-relative and interchangeable and that the value of life is nothing but to cut off the causal relations between life and death to attain the final accomplishment.
