Localization Of Humanistic Buddhism In The West
In Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s diary summary for the latter half of January 1990, a period where he spent his time at Hsi Lai Temple in Los Angeles, we read a record highlighting two important steps in the localization of Humanistic Buddhism in the West: Starting from Hsi Lai Temple we are actualizing the first step of “The Dharma waters constantly flow throughout the five continents”, and the founding of the Buddha Light International Association will further enhance harmonious interaction and exchange between each nation worldwide. Finally, we are not letting down the Patriarch’s intention in coming from the West!(Hsing Yun 1994)
人間佛教下的叢林光影 ─清規制度的中國化與實踐意涵
禪宗叢林制度的創立,可以追溯到佛陀時代的僧團傳統,僧侶在共住共修中秉持清淨和合的戒律生活。中國唐代,馬祖道一開創叢林,百丈懷海制定清規,使寺院生活逐步擺脫單純依賴印度律儀的模式,轉化為具有中國本土特色的清規制度。此制度結合儒家禮樂精神與中國宗法倫理,強調僧團自治、職事分明與和合共住,不僅維護了僧團秩序與修行品質,也適應了歷代社會政治與經濟環境的變遷。 進入現代,「人間佛教」理念強調佛法入世、關懷社會,為叢林制度注入新生,使其由山林閉鎖走向都市弘化,由靜態規範轉化為動態實踐。本文透過歷史演變與制度分析,探討叢林清規如何在保持佛法核心精神的同時,融入中國文化並因應社會需求,進而體現佛教跨文化傳播與本土化調適的典範。透過叢林制度於現代教育、社會服務、文化轉譯中的光影流轉,本文旨在呈現其制度轉型與宗教實踐的時代價值。
