Buddhist College Singapore 新加坡佛学院

“印度教之‘法’”为主题的英文学术讲座

12月2日（星期三）下午两点，本院在藏经楼举办了一场以“印度教之‘法”为主题的英文学术讲座。演讲者是江彩花博士，并由学院顾问传诚法师担任中文翻译。我院师生约一百人参加了这场讲座。

江彩花博士，新加坡人，毕业于英国伦敦大学亚非学院，修读学位期间，致力于印度宗教比较学的研究。最近，她在新加坡国立大学完成了她的博士后特别研究生。

江博士从四个方面对印度教之“法”进行了阐释：
一、吠陀时期“法”的意义；
二、吠陀时期之后“法”的意义的变迁。
三、“法”对社会改革的影响。
四、“法”对现代所面临的挑战。
通过江博士两个小时的精彩演讲，让我们对印度教之“法”的概念及变迁过程有了进一步的了解和认识，这对今后我们在印度佛教研究领域提供了丰富宝贵的参考资料。

On 2 December (Wednesday), Dr. Fah Kong was invited by Buddhist College of Singapore (BCS) to give an English talk on Hindu Dharma. Translation in Mandarin was provided by Ven. Dr. Chuan Cheng, our College Advisor. About a hundred teachers and students from BCS attended the talk.

Dr Fah Kong, a Singaporean, graduated from School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. During her studies, she specialized in Indian religions and comparative religion. She has recently completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Dr. Fah Kong presented the talk from 4 aspects, namely, “Meaning of Dharma in the Vedic literature”, “Meaning of Dharma in the Post-Vedic literature”, “Dharma: Time and Social Reforms” and “Challenges faced in modern times”. Through her interesting presentation which lasted 2 hours, we were able to deepen our knowledge and understanding of Hindu Dharma. This knowledge will prove an invaluable contribution for our future Buddhist research.
