Story
仏教と儒教、
人生にどう活かすか
禅の六祖・慧能(えのう)が懇々と教えている大事な要点は、佛というものは決して人間を超越した存在ではない、ということである。信仰者は佛を超越的存在に持ってゆきたがるが、佛というものは、自身、吾、心、衆生を離れては決して存在しない。
一方、儒教は、どこまでも人間と現実に徹して、情熱をもってこれを改めてゆこうとするもので、必ずしもその成功を求めない。良心、真理、道を旨とし、実践に徹してゆこうとするのがその真面目である。
儒教、道教、佛教は違うというけれども、世間一般に言うような差異ではない。儒教でも、「命(めい)に従う」とか「運を啓(ひら)く」というような問題になれば、浄土門の佛にすがるというのと同工異曲である。だから現れる形は違っても、少し奥へ入れば真理は一つ。諸教は帰するところみな同じである。

安岡教学の集大成
ここに極まれり!
人間の意識の深層(無意識層)は永遠につながっている。これは自分および父母・先祖代々の体験と真理の倉庫であり、秘密の蔵である。
このことを近代の医学・心理学がようやく究明するようになってきた。王陽明のいわゆる「良知(りょうち)」というのは、このことをいうのであって、我われが主観を徹底してゆくと(徹底的に思索すると)、良知に到達する。これは言い換えれば大いなる客観(いわば真理)である。だから、我われは主観を徹底すれば大いなる客観に到達する。客観を徹底すれば大いなる主観に到達する。これを王陽明は龍場(りゅうじょう)という僻地に流謫(るたく)された時に初めて把握した。そこで、真剣に学問求道をやれば、誰でもこの主観を通じて大いなる客観に到達する、つまり主客が合一してくる。――これが「到良知(ちりょうち)<良知を究める>」というもので、禅とも通ずる、陽明学の一眼目である。

内容紹介
干支の思想的意義を解説し、史実と照合させつつ現代に活読する待望のシリーズ第5集
本CDは、昭和38年から49年末までの講話をまとめた『干支新話』を基に、干支に関する著者自身の著作ならびに他の講録を加えた『干支の活学』を音声化して収録したものである。
本来の干支は占いではなく、易の俗語でもない。それは、生命あるいはエネルギーの発生・成長・収蔵の循環過程を分類・約説した経験哲学ともいうべきものである。
即ち「干」の方は、もっぱら生命・エネルギーの内外対応の原理、つまりchallengeに対するresponseの原理を十種類に分類したものであり、「支」の方は、生命・細胞の分裂から次第に生体を組織・構成して成長し、やがて老衰して、ご破算になって、また元の細胞・核に還る――これを十二の範疇に分けたものである。
干支は、この干と支を組み合わせてできる六十の範疇に従って、時局の意義ならびに、これに対処する自覚や覚悟というものを、幾千年の歴史と体験に徴して帰納的に解明・啓示したものである。(前書き部分より)

人間
その愚かなるもの
「逆境をどう生きるべきか」
宇宙も人間も社会もみな大いなる調和、つまり大和(だいわ)から成り立っている。人間がこの恒常性、大和性を失えば身体的には疾病であり、死であり、社会的には争乱となる。
東洋思想に於ては、あらゆる実在は発現、分化、発展を本領とする陽(よう)の原理と、統一調和、全体性、永遠性を本領とする陰(いん)の原理との「陰陽相待(対)的原理」によって成立し活動していると考える。
ところが現代は分化を本領とする(陽の原理)西欧的思考、即ち主知主義に偏しており、それと相待つべき大和的思考(陰の原理)はほとんど顧みられない。その結果、人間がいたずらに外面に走り、利己主義的・物質的になり、社会も文化も雑駁なものになってゆく。これを救うには東洋的陰原理により主知主義を止揚(アウフヘーベン)するしか道はない。

偉大なる「人間通」
孔子はここを学べ!
孔子の言葉を現代に活読した安岡教学の最高峰
論語をみると、われわれば日常遭遇する現象や問題がことごとく原理的に説明されている。こんなことにまで触れていたか、こんな問題まで出ていたかと、驚くばかりである。たとえば、里仁篇に、「利によって行えば怨み多し」とある。これは今日も同じことで、人びとは皆、「利」を追って暮らしているが、利を求めてかえって利を失い、利によって誤まられて、際限もなく怨みを作っている。それは「利とは何であるか」ということを知らないからである。「利の本は義」「利は義の和なり」(左伝)という。したがって本当に利を得ようとすれば「いかにすることが“義”か」という根本に立ち返らなければならない。これは千古かわらぬ事実であり、法則である。ここに気がついて初めて論語が〈活きた学問〉となる。(まえがきより)

自分の運命を操作し、人生を創造する理法を説く東洋哲学の粋 本書は、昭和33年から昭和40年にかけて行われた「人間学とは何か」「東洋哲学の精粋」「達人の人生哲学」の3つ講義を記録した『知命と立命』を、音声化して収録したものである。 東洋的大調和の思考に基づき、人間本来の在り方を明示する安岡人間学講話の第6集。 「命」というのは、絶対性、必然性を表し、数学的に言うならば、「必然にして十分」という意味を持っている。自然科学は、宇宙、大自然の「命」、即ち必然性、絶対的なるものを、物の立場から研究して科学的法則を把握した。 人間も、人生そのものが一つの「命」である。それは絶対的な働きであるけれども、その中には複雑きわまりない因果関係がある。その因果関係を探って法則をつかみ、それを操縦することによって、人間は自主性を高め、クリエイティブになり得る。つまり自分で自分の「命」を生み運んでゆくことができるようになる。 我々が宿命的存在、つまり動物的、機械的存在から脱して自分で自分の運命を想像できるか否かは、その人の学問修養次第である。(前書き部分より) ●収録内容 I 人間学とは何か 第一章 何のために学ぶのか 第二章 伝統と節義に基づく人間学 II 東洋哲学の精粋 第一章 活機と殺機 第二章 「命」とは何か II 東洋哲学の精粋 第三章...

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....
