四無量（慈悲喜捨）是佛教所有宗派所共有的一種修行方法。在日常生活中去運用這種方法去生活，可使行者的心量變得更寬大、更善良、更快樂，對提升個人的精神境界和改善周圍的人際關係都有很大促進作用。作為部派佛教影響最大的說一切有部，對四無量的理論和實踐體系做了清晰的解釋和論證。這次講座將對於四無量的特性、所依界地及以如何修學、有何功德等問題進行分析解說。

Application for Enrolment in Full-time / Part-Time / Occasional Students for Second Semester of Master of Arts in Buddhist Studies (English Medium) programme is open.

It is recorded that at the end of Buddha's first sermon, many beings including five ascetics had been able to realise the truth. This indicates that even the first sermon was enough to get the final result of practicing Buddhism. Today, many people spend thousands of hours in reading books and listening to sermons but seem to achieve no intended advancement. This talk discusses what is wrong and shows guidance for right practice.
