◆一場關於佛教和生命意義最睿智、最熱切的對話。 ◆法國暢銷40萬冊！台灣好評長銷再版50刷！ ◆達賴喇嘛、林懷民、佛教學者 鄭振煌、東吳大學法學院教授 林東茂 好評推薦！ 佛法能否滿足人類精神的需求，填補西方文明的缺陷，帶給我們想要的幸福？ 沒有比僧侶與哲學家這對父子辨證所擦出的智慧火花，更適合回答這些問題。 我們一輩子都在追尋世俗目標，但得到真正快樂的機會，如同想捕魚的漁夫，卻把魚網拋向乾涸的河床。──馬修‧李卡德 1966年，馬修‧李卡德20歲，看了朋友所拍攝的西藏大師的影片，深受感動，買了一張前往印度的便宜機票，動身前往大吉嶺，在那裡遇見了他的第一位西藏老師，和佛教有了初步的接觸。 那時他是諾貝爾生物醫學獎得主賈克柏的門生，學業正步入輝煌期，前途一片光明，可是暑假的精神之旅，卻使他的心時時飛向印度。完成博士學位後，他告訴父親和老師，他要定居亞洲，開始過心靈的生活，他們驚訝之餘，有著不解的失望。 馬修和西方的關係並未全然斷絕，他成了僧侶，跟著西藏大師學習、翻譯佛典，成了佛教西傳的橋梁。31年後，馬修和哲學家父親針對佛教和生命的意義展開對話，父親對佛教犀利的質疑，讓馬修有機會揭開佛法神祕的面紗：佛法不是無為、迷信、被動的東方思想，它是一門心的科學。   【名人推薦】 ◆這本書最精采的地方，就在於讓我們看到一場開放心胸的對談；雖然兩位作者追求人生目標的道路各有不同，我相信對他們兩人來說，生命有何意義並不重要，重要的是，我們如何賦予生命意義。～達賴喇嘛 ◆當現代的科學遇上古老的佛法，當西方的物質遇上東方的心靈，當望子成龍的父親遇上亟思解脫的兒子，必然迸發最上乘的智慧，這就是這本書的迷人之處。～佛教學者...
