──── ✍️ 編輯室報告 平等即佛法 一卷記錄僧信共融與生命智慧的圖卷 本期專題以「眾歸一體：星雲大師人間佛教的僧信共融觀」為核心，立足於宗教主體現代轉型的視野，探討教團建設中最關鍵的組織架構與人我平等。這不單是組織形式的調整，更是佛教從山林走入社會、從出家僧團擴及全人類的歷史性範式轉移。 專題的首章由星雲大師的根本思想領航，透過〈強化居士的教團〉、〈尊重與包容〉、〈建立人間佛教的性格〉及〈我的平等性格〉四篇重要論述，彰顯大師「佛法就是平等法」的核心價值。大師從「佛性平等」的真諦出發，打破傳統「僧尊俗卑」的成說，為現代教團奠定了「僧信平等、僧信共尊」的理論基石。 在「學者如是我觀」中，程恭讓.....
A Study on Gender Equality in Humanistic Buddhism
Since Humanistic Buddhism was first proposed by Master Taixu, the issue of gender equality has gradually kindled widespread discussion in the field of Buddhism. During the Republican Era, Master Taixu and the female Buddhists of the Pure Bodhi Vihara have actively expressed their views on gender equality. Eventually, they reached a consensus of respecting a woman’s character, protecting her rights, and advocating equal status between men and women.

Eventually, they reached a consensus of respecting a woman’s character, protecting her rights, and advocating equal status between men and women. After 1949, under the impetus of Venerable Master Hsing Yun, Venerable Yin Shun, Venerable Sheng Yen, Venerable Chaohwei, thoughts on gender equality in Taiwan have made great strides. After 1980, the rejuvenation of Humanistic Buddhism in Mainland China in turn developed thoughts on gender equality. As a result, the overall status of female Buddhists in Mainland China has remarkably improved.
主題演說之一：重新估定佛學的價值
我今年八十七歲，七十五年前在南京棲霞山出家做和尚，六十四年前來到台灣，四十六年前開始建設佛光山。對於傳統的佛教，我常有一些不一樣的想法。比方說，佛法講「四姓出家，同為釋氏」，過去印度的佛教倡導「四姓平等」，這是佛陀的思想，但是後來在各地傳播的佛教，卻全都違反了佛陀平等的胸懷，其中最嚴重的就是男女不平等；到現在，中國大陸的比丘尼、優婆夷在佛門裡仍幾乎沒有什麼地位。不過在我看來，在所有出錢做功德，把寺廟建設起來的人當中，以優婆夷最發心，尤其很多優秀的比丘尼更是為佛門做出種種貢獻。而這許多人事在佛教史上卻很少記載。如今，這一種不平等的觀念還在繼續，仍有人極力以佛教的「八敬法」來維護佛教比丘、男眾的權力與地位。
