A Study of Humanistic Buddhism Returning to India: Observations and Reflections on the Fo Guang Shan New Delhi Educational and Cultural Centre
The journey of Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s Humanistic Buddhism back to India can generally be divided into two stages. The first stage spanned from 1963 to 2008, when the Venerable Master made eight pilgrimages to India and gradually affirmed his desire to bring Buddhism back there. He and some of his monastics began to develop a preliminary plan. The second stage began with the establishment of the New Delhi Educational and Cultural Centre (hereinafter referred to as the Centre). By building a temple, initiating educational programs, setting up charitable clinics, and engaging in cross-cultural exchanges, Buddhism was reestablished in India.
The Influence of Indian and Buddhist Elements in Medieval China: A Study of Buddha’s Birthday Celebrations In Luoyang during the Northern Wei dynasty
The Buddha’s birthday festival reached an unprecedented level of grandeur during the rule of Northern Wei when its capital was at Luoyang (495 to 534 CE). Buddhism was indigenous to neither the rulers nor the native Han Chinese. Yet, the Buddha’s birthday celebration on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month became a popular ritual in which the entire city participated. This paper studies a particular phenomenon in this public ritual, the use of carriages in image processions, tracing the heritage of these carriages back to the religion’s land of origin, India, and their literary sources. The intention of this paper is to study the reasons for such phenomenal success, in particular as they relate to the functional role of a religious festival and how the tenets of a religion can enable itself to be popular and sustainable. The Buddha’s birthday is a relevant case study because over 1,500 years later, countries such as Cambodia, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam continue to celebrate it as their public holiday.

從韓弁智造佛像看一佛二菩薩造像流傳背後的佛教「人間性」
自佛教從印度傳來，佛教造像也一傳入中國，以石窟為主要建造場所。隨著佛教在中國的發展，佛教造像的材料和載體也逐漸豐富和發展。韓弁智造佛像上清晰記載建造時間和發願的主人公，是研究唐代佛教造像以及一佛二菩薩造像的有力考證。研究表明，佛教誕生初期的印度已有「人間性」造像。佛教傳入中國後，歷代能工巧匠更是對「人間性」造像進行修改和發展，使其符合中國式審美，表現中國本土文化和信仰。
一切法如幻——寂護和太虛對《楞伽經》宗旨的解釋比對
《楞伽經》為眾經之樞要，佛法之理窟。印度的中觀派、瑜伽行派及中觀瑜伽行派、漢地的禪宗、藏地的寧瑪派等都依據該經奠立自己的教義基礎。在太虛大師的教理體系中，《楞伽經》也占據了核心的地位。因此，這是一部跨越地域文化和宗派分歧的經典，其宗旨值得探討。本文選擇了時間、空間上相隔都頗為遙遠的寂護和太虛的闡釋來對比研究。寂護是印度佛教中觀瑜伽行派和吐蕃前弘期佛教的奠基者，太虛大師是二十世紀以來具有世界影響的「人生佛教」開拓者。對比研究他們對《楞伽經》宗旨的解釋，可以拓展理解《楞伽》經義的空間。
