“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。

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.
