Chan Buddhism During the Times of Venerable Master Yixuan and Venerable Master Hsing Yun: Applying Chinese Chan Principles to Contemporary Society
Linji Venerable Master Yixuan 臨濟義玄 (d. 866) and Fo Guang Venerable Master Hsing Yun 佛光星雲 (1927–), although separated by more than a millennium, innovatively applied Chan teachings to the societies in which they lived to help their devotees discover their humanity and transcend their existential conditions. Both religious leaders not only survived persecution, but brought their faiths to greater heights. This paper studies how these masters adapted Chan Buddhist teachings to the woes and conditions of their times. In particular, I shall review how Venerable Master Yixuan and Venerable Master Hsing Yun adapted the teachings of their predecessors, added value to the sociopolitical milieu of their times, and used familiar language to reconcile reality and their beliefs.
三千佛世界,一念眾生心
我看到大師坐在椅上,素靜的空間中,一張寬大的几案,一紙鋪陳。握管的手因病痛,或還有些微的顫動。可是寫下來的那些字―坦蕩圓融,平實自在,無巧無拙,人盡歡喜。

人間佛教的理論與實踐——天台「一念三千」與「一心三觀」為主的論析
立基於天台教觀與人間佛教之間可能的關涉,本文論述之進行乃從個人多年來之研究領域─天台教觀─切入,亦即從天台教觀所宣倡之解行並重,以具體闡釋其中所可能蘊含之人間性,並進而以「一念三千」與「一心三觀」之間的相互依持、相輔相成所展現之教觀雙美的特質,以具體論析於當前社會推行佛教人間化之理論依憑與實踐法門。立基於筆者之前已進行之探討與所得之研究成果,本文或可以更具體而微地闡釋天台智者大師建構一念三千之用意,以及更詳實地鋪陳智者大師如何於行住坐臥中具體落實一心三觀之修證方法,而藉由如此之論析與舖陳,一方面或可將天台教觀與人間佛教之可能關涉闡明地更深入,同時亦期能回應本文對於推行人間佛教所依之理論與具體實踐之方法的關懷。

從四悉檀析論星雲大師的思想——再論大乘佛教的善巧方便一系概念
佛陀以何因緣應化世間?此一疑問開啟本文發展的線索與思路。程恭讓教授在其著作《佛典漢譯、理解與詮釋研究―以善巧方便一系概念思想為中心》,透過《大乘善巧方便波羅蜜多經》、《法華經》、《維摩經》、《華嚴經》、《勝鬘夫人經》等諸多佛經,已明白證明「善巧方便」這一系概念是佛德中非常重要的第七度方便波羅蜜;尤其是唯有發菩提心度化有情的菩薩,才會開展出來的大智慧,是故佛陀的善巧方便是為度化一切有情同圓種智而生,乃佛陀應世最重要的本懷。
