论佛教文化中的养生思想与修行方式

＂养生＂一词的起源,大约可追溯至春秋战国时期,在《吕氏春秋.二孟冬纪》有＂养生＂一词：＂知生也者,不以害生,养生之谓也＂。一直以来,佛教被一些人认为是一个注重来世、重死不重生的宗教,与养生没什么密切关系,甚至有人将佛教划为专门＂事死＂的宗教。但在佛教的思想理论、生活方式以及一些修行方式中,都与养生密不可分。

Thought and Practice Pattern of Health Maintenance in Buddhist Culture

The origin of the word ＂health maintenance＂ can be roughly traced back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, ＂health maintenance＂ was found in Lv Shi Chun Qiu Er Meng Dong Ji, saying that ＂health maintenance＂ refers to that people should keep healthy by developing a healthy lifestyle instead of doing harm to others. Some regard Buddhism as a religion that focuses much on afterlife, too much on death and less on life, hav- ing nothing to do with ＂health maintenance＂ ; others take it as a religion laying much emphasis on death. However, from the perspective of its thought and theory, life style and some practice patterns, Buddhism is inseparable from ＂health maintenance＂.
