2018 實體與數位同步
美國蘋果公司創辦人史蒂夫・保羅・賈伯斯最不為外人所知的內在修煉及成長故事,並結合外界難以窺探的十九歲禪修生涯,以及與禪師互動的點滴;從五歲得知自己養子身份是被拋棄的那一刻,就注定他一生追求的與眾不同⋯
This is a story of spiritual practice and personal growth about Steven Paul Jobs (Steve Jobs), the founder of Apple Inc., together with his little-known Buddhist journey at age 19 and his interactions with a Zen priest. Jobs learned that he was adopted when he was just five years old, and this determined the uniqueness of his lifelong pursuit…

蘋果公司、皮克斯這二個品牌都是不同領域的頂尖企業,而它們唯一的共通點就是「創辦人-賈伯斯」。 賈伯斯的同事曾經說過,在決定下一款產品時,他會先靜坐一段時間,並在睜開眼睛瞬間,用直覺去做決定。 熱衷禪修的他甚至一度想去日本京都的永平寺出家,但乙川弘文禪師那時對他說:「並非只有出家才是修行」,才打消念頭並把佛法運用在企業決策與人生規劃。 如同他在史丹佛演講時所說的:「去追隨你的真心與直覺,它們常常最知道你想做什麼。」 賈伯斯認為修行是自己的事,所以媒體採訪時,他往往避談此事,但我們能從他舉辦佛教婚禮、在蘋果推行靜坐課程……的蛛絲馬跡去瞭解他對於禪修的認真。 源頭都要回到年幼被拋棄的那段陰影,他從小就不斷地問自己是誰,也讓他在19歲時踏上前往尋找解答的印度之旅…… 本書將從賈伯斯最隱密也最少提及的青年生活開始,一步步抽絲剝繭,從他與佛教的初步接觸到與禪師的對談及人生的思考,讓我們補起缺掉的那塊屬於信仰的拼圖。
Apple Inc. and Pixar are leading brands in two different industries, and yet there is one thing they share: they were founded by Steve Jobs. According to his colleagues, Jobs would meditate before making any decisions for a new product. The moment he opened his eyes again, he let intuition lead the way. Zealous about meditation, Jobs once thought of becoming a monk at Eihei Temple in Kyoto, Japan. Zen priest Otogawa Kobun told him that Buddhism can be practiced anywhere, and hence Jobs gave up on the idea and started applying Buddhism to business strategies and life plans. Steve Jobs noted on the 2005 Stanford Commencement Address, “have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.” Jobs saw Buddhist practice as a private matter. Thus, he avoided talking about it in press interviews. Still, one can see how serious he was about Buddhism through his life arrangements, such as a Buddhist wedding and the fact that he promoted meditation classes at Apple Inc. These could all be traced back to a saddening early life experience. Jobs was abandoned when he was a child. He kept wondering, “who am I?” Yearning to find an answer, Jobs embarked on a journey to India as soon as he reached 19… This book will start with Jobs’ adolescent years, which have been the most private and the least discussed in public. Piece by piece, from his first encounter with Buddhism, his talks with the Zen priest, and his reflections upon life, the book aims to fill the missing part called “beliefs” in Steve Job’s puzzle of life.
