佛法理論是 「內心科學」之精髓，
戒行清淨是佛法住世之根基
——第三屆世界佛教論壇上的演講
(2012年4月26日)
班禪額爾德尼確吉傑布

 以持悲憫心，斷除一切見，
 示行正士法，敬禮喬達摩。
 值此良辰吉日——第三屆世界佛教論壇開幕之際，我以參加此次盛會深感榮幸，並向各位高僧大德、領導、學者及與會嘉賓致以吉祥的問候！
 今天我演講的主題是：「佛法理論是「內心科學」之精髓，戒行清淨是佛法住世之根基」。
 恩德兼具之佛陀善巧開示了佛法之門，以大慈愛之心向諸化機指明了善舉之功德和惡行之過患的取舍之道。以修成自覺覺他為果位的佛法珍寶傳承興盛了幾千年，現已成為世界宗教的重要組成部分。
 我們偉大的導師，三界唯一之明燈——釋迦牟尼佛于一切眾生，尤其在五濁熾盛的時代對難以教化的未淨娑婆世界之眾生，以無緣大悲之心為解脫眾生而闡明的經論律三藏之教法和戒定慧三學之證法的佛法珍寶，具備清淨的見、修、行體系架構。對此，古今中外諸多志士仁人不僅給予了高度重視和極高的評價，且對其充滿了敬仰和隨喜之心。
 自佛法在聖域天竺興盛以來，降生了諸多護持教法的賢者，由于他們的恩德，在不同國家和民族，不同地域和時代，建立了講聞三藏經典和修習三學之道的法苑或寺院及修行學院，故而佛法如虹斯彰、遍諸大千。對于人類的社會進步、道德優化和文化教育的提升發揮了顯著的作用。
 但是，當今世界注重「外物科技」，忽視「內心科學」。由于貪欲不斷膨脹、 「三毒」侵蝕人心，從而惡緣泛起，生態失衡、環境惡化、災害頻仍、疾病蔓延、戰亂不止，嚴重危害著有情眾生的今生來世。對此，賢達智者們都在努力探尋著世界和平安定之道，而實現自然和美、世界和平、社會和諧、家庭和睦的唯一途徑是「內心科學」的完美建立。
 佛法是主張利益眾生，淨治三門之一切雜染，追求自他眾生之解脫、遍知兩果位的無上宗義。具足見、修、行清淨的釋尊佛法飽含深邃的理論、深厚的文化、深篤的信仰、深廣的慈愛，可謂博大精深。佛理是「內心科學」的精髓，是提升人類精神境界、優化人們道德品性、化解人類矛盾糾紛、消除人們內心苦痛的一盤甘露；也是推動世界和平、持續發展的一劑良方。正如寂天菩薩所示：
 「願除苦良藥，一切安樂源，
 教法伴利敬，長久住世間。」
 因此，對于當今世界來說，佛法的弘揚是極為重要的。
 眾所周知，要使佛法長久住世、造福眾生，僅僅依靠修建規模宏大、富麗堂皇的廟宇殿堂是遠遠不夠的，我們佛教四眾弟子具備圓滿的教、證功德，且具有相當數量的優秀學僧，乃是弘揚佛法的關鍵。佛法之本增上戒學乃解脫道之核心，恪守戒律為修行佛法之根基，我們釋迦弟子應以戒為師、依律而行，使自己的修學、思維和行持符合佛法的典律。
 就如龍樹菩薩所云：
 「仁者于戒勿破羸，莫雜莫染當淨修
 佛說戒為眾德本，如情非情依止地」。
 這樣，則不僅符合佛法，而且符合自己所在國的法制，也能得到當地群眾的信任和尊重。
 承續、弘傳佛法是我們全體佛教徒們義不容辭的崇高使命。為此，我們應以世界各地具有悠久歷史的古剎和具有影響力的寺院及佛學院作為基地，大力培養能夠繼承、護持和弘揚佛法的各類教職人員和戒行清淨的僧伽團體，為他們創造健康良好的內外修行環境，使他們自覺抵制物欲風氣的負面影響，梵行清淨，功德遞增，以提升個人內心佛法之力推進整個佛法的全面發展。故而以佛法的發展，更好的完善人類的「內心科學」。
 我們應將「內心科學」與「外物科技」的發展有機地結合起來，為實現世界和平，社會和諧，時代進步，文明發展，努力貢獻力量。
 最後我祈願佛法長久住世，高僧大德壽高業豐，國泰民安，眾生幸福。扎西德勒！

 Buddhist Doctrines as the Essence of 「Science of the Mind」,
and Purity in the Precepts as the Foundation for Preservation of the Dharma.
Speech for the 3rd World Buddhist Forum on 26 April, 2012/4/22
By Bainqen Erdini Qoigyijabu

 「Cultivating our compassionate heart,
 We vow to remove deluded view from human mind.
 Embodying the ancient Noble Path,
 We venerate Gautama Buddha!」
 It is my honor taking part in the inauguration of the 3rd World Buddhist Forum. At this memorable moment, let me extend to all learnt members of the Samgha, officials, scholars and guests, my best wishes.
 The topic of my speech today is 「Buddhist Doctrines as the essence of 『science of the mind』, and purity in the precepts as the foundation for preservation of the Dharma.」
 The virtuous Buddha compassionately and skillfully opened the door to the Dharma, pointing out for us the way to choose between wholesome and unwholesome acts. Aiming at both getting self enlightenment and enlightening others, Buddhism has prospered for thousand years, and is now an important component of the world religion.
 For the sake of liberating all suffering beings from the existence laden with the Five Aggregates, our great teacher, Śākyamuni — the only light in the three Realms, handed down the Tripitaka of Sutra, Vinaya, and Abhidharma, and the Threefold Training of ethical conduct (śīla), concentration (samādhi), and wisdom (prajñā) with a systematic framework entailing right view, profound practice, and skilful action. These have been treasured by people throughout time and places.
 Since the prosperity of Dharma in ancient India, many learnt Buddhists have established monasteries and institutes at various countries for different races, promoting Buddhism like rainbows appearing all over the world. Significant contributions to the development of human societies, ethics, and cultural education have been made.
 However, it is a contemporary trend to put 「materialistic technology」 ahead of the 「science of the mind」. Increasing Greediness in people』s hearts has unbalanced the eco systems, contaminated the environments, caused natural disasters, spread epidemics, induced wars, and hence endangering all sentient beings now and in future. While people are searching for the remedy, 「science of the mind」 stands out as a path leading to harmony of the nature, peace in world, concordance in societies and affection in families.
 Dharma advocates altruistic care for all beings, purification of body, speech and mind, salvation for all sentient beings, and the achievement of the two supra-mundane states. We can see that, with right view, profound practice, and skilful action, Dharma embraces profuse intellectual, cultural, devotional, and compassionate contents. Buddhist Doctrines are the essence of the 「science of the mind」, which can benefit spiritual growth, cultivate morality, dissolve human conflicts and mental sufferings, and bring global peace. Śāntideva Bodhisattva once said,
 「As the sole medicine for the sufferings
 And the source of all happiness,
 May the teachings, with support and respect,
 Continue to exist endlessly in the world.」
 Therefore, the promotion of Dharma is a very important issue for the contemporary world.
 As we all know, for the preservation of Dharma to benefit all beings, the building of huge and splendid monasteries is not sufficient. A healthy Buddhist community with sufficient number of ordained students is the key. It is also paramount to closely observe ethical conduct as stipulated by Nāgārjuna Bodhisattva,
 「With a nature of good qualities, keep your vows unbroken,
 Not debased, not corrupted, and free of stain.
 Just as the earth』s the base for all that』s still or moves,
 On discipline, it』s said, is founded all that』s good.」
 This would ensure proper conformity with the Dharma as well as the laws, and would earn trust and respect from other people.
 Inheriting and developing Dharma is the upmost mission for all Buddhists. We should use antique monasteries and influential institutes as our base for training up various teaching personnel and members of the Samgha, providing them with healthy environments to practice Perfections, such that their good inner potentials may generate the power necessary for promulgating the Dharma. This would in turn advance the 「science of the mind」 for the betterment of human nature.
 We should also work towards an organic synergy of 「science of the mind」 and 「materialistic technology」, as it would be contributive to global peace, social harmony, and cultural development.
 Lastly, I wish to pray for the long lasting preservation of the Dharma on Earth, and wellbeing for everyone. Tashi Delek!
