Humanistic Religion From Guodian to Vimalakirti
This paper will argue that the term “Humanistic Buddhism,” which Venerable Master Hsing Yun describes as central to all of Buddhism, is also fundamental to Chinese religion as a collective group. Such an expansion is in keeping with the spirit of his recent publication 365 Days for Travelers: Wisdom from Chinese Literary and Buddhist Classics. Here we see an enlargement of humanism to include a general assessment of Chinese culture. It because of this expansion that this paper uses the term “Humanistic Religion” instead of “Humanistic Buddhism.” Crucial support for the centrality of humanism to Chinese religion comes from it being expressed with the greatest clarity and earliest date in the recently excavated Guodian corpus (郭店楚簡). As such, Guodian represents a missing link between Buddhism and other pre-Han religious systems. Venerable Master Hsing-yun sees Humanistic Buddhism as a system that has particular utility for overcoming divisions; as such it is interested in developing the linkages with indigenous Chinese religion that I will be detailing in this paper. Specifically, Humanistic Buddhism: Holding True to the Original Intents of Buddha, states that the schisms which arose after the passing of the Buddha can be overcome with humanism. In the publications by Fo Guang Shan I have reviewed so far, however, recently excavated manuscripts have not been considered and this will one of the contributions of this paper.

「転法輪経」について（二之一）
転法輪 (梵Dharmacakra-pra. パDhammacakka-pavattana)とは、広義には釈尊の一生涯の説法のすべてを指すけれども、『転法輪経』という経典は釈尊の最初の転法輪、すなわち五比丘に対する最初の説法を掲げている経典である。仏教者にとっては、この最初の説法がもっとも記念せられるべき重要な事柄の一つであるから、『転法輪経』は後世に至るまで広く伝えられて有名であった。今日の南方仏教では種々の儀式法要において、『転法輪経』が常に読まれているのはその例である。今日知られている諸部派の『転法輪経』が二十数種に及び、諸経典の中でもっとも多く伝えられているのも、本経がいかに広く読まれたかを物語るものである。
