A Discussion on "Faith" in Humanistic Buddhism as Exemplified by Venerable Master Hsing Yun's "Positive Forecasts for Life"
《人生卜事》是星雲大師依生命經驗口述的108則法語，希望佛法能在人有困境時，乃至日常生活中，做心靈上的指南。《人生卜事》的設計與用法看起來像算命，違背表面上的佛教教義：但是所謂的「卜事」不是占卜，而是透過對因果的釐清、身口意的淨化來改變人的命運。此設計受大眾的喜愛，展現星雲大師人間佛教的信仰觀。星雲大師針對當代迷信的引導，對比佛陀時代吠陀的祭祀儀式之教義，有多方面的相似之處，能看出星雲大師弘法的善巧方便。另外，本文旨在探討《人生卜事》如何引導人的正確信仰：從充滿迷信、恐懼，及個人慾望的信仰，到慈悲、智慧、利益眾生的菩薩道。
人間佛教與當代社會第二堂課 人間佛教與AI之覺醒與共生
想體系，如何為當代人提供重新思考生命本質的路徑。他認為AI與佛教的對話不僅是科技與人文的交鋒，更是人類在快速變遷的時代中，尋找精神依歸的一次契機－－在危機中覺醒，在共生中前行。 此外，李利安也以AI與菩薩進行類比，指出菩薩在大乘佛教發展中的革新角色，與AI在現代社會的變革性影響具有某種相似性。例如，AI在醫療輔助診斷、智慧交通、精準農業等領域的應用，正如菩薩「應以何身得度者，即現何身而為說法」，能夠根據不同場景發揮最大價值。此對比將帶來全新視角，幫助我們更深入理解AI的意義與價值。 擔任本場講座主持的妙光法師，亦是《佛光大辭典》英譯計劃總召集人，對AI的研究具有深度與前瞻性。他強調，人們應善用.....
Bodhisattva in the Perfection of Wisdom Buddhist Texts
When we talk about the Prajnaparamita, we sometimes get deep into it. To begin, I have always been interested in the fact that before Sakyamuni became the Buddha and gained his enlightenment, he went to other teachers. We don’t often think about what his teachers have taught him. For example, Alara Kalama taught him a meditation where he could experience infinite space and be conscious of infinite space. After being taught about how to meditate in this way and having experienced infinite space, the Buddha thought it was interesting but it wasn’t good enough. He still hasn’t had the release and hasn’t reached moksha. So, he continued to study with other teachers. Uddaka taught him to go deeper into his mind and reach a mental state which is neither perception nor the lack of perception. A very deep and special state. But, once again, it wasn’t sufficient. Why wasn’t it sufficient? What was lacking? Why did he keep pursuing another path? What was the path he pursued? And, what was the difference between what he finally reached and what his great teachers had taught him? I looked into the Eight Thousand-Line Perfection of Wisdom Sutra having these questions in mind. When we look into this sutra, it is interesting to see that when the Buddha had gathered his audience, all of them were arhats. There was not a bodhisattva in sight. Where were all these bodhisattvas then? What we later on defined as a bodhisattva is what the Prajnaparamita Sutras taught for the first time. The Prajnaparamita created the bodhisattvas. In other words, at the time when he started teaching, this was the first Prajnaparamita Sutra. When the Buddha first taught it, there were no bodhisattvas of the type that we later see. Later in the sutra the bodhisattvas appeared. It was a sequential thing. In the beginning, it tells us that everybody was an arhat.
傳統中醫VS.人間佛教
「人間佛教」為生活在人間的我們，規劃了一個非常完整的藍圖，只要將它真正落實在人間，實現在人間，即可提昇人的素養，提高生活品質，共創人間淨土。 星雲大師曾說：「人類的身體，不是用來綑縛心靈的；人類的身體，是用來幫助心靈，圓滿生命智慧的，是用來修行結善緣的。不幸的是：由於我們智慧不足，悲心不夠、不能認識自己。因此大部份人類的身體，反而變成了心靈的障礙，甚至奴役心靈，綑住心靈而不自知，則身苦心也苦。」 我們可以從傳統中醫和佛陀教化兩大學識的融和當中，透視身體與「心、神（靈）、氣」的互動關係，進而融和「身、心、神（靈）、氣」的合作，以提昇生命的境界。一個有慈悲心、有智慧、懂得對內修身養性、對外待人處世的人間菩薩，可以救自己、救社會、國家、世界。如果每一個人都樂意以慈悲、智慧對己待人，並開發「如來真我空性」，那麼當下就是極樂淨土。有病亦不為病所苦，即使身苦心也不苦。
