〔第26期徒眾短期研究班〕從宗教慈善與跨文化弘法反思人間佛教接引之道
乏文化優勢,甚至面臨民間誤解與排斥,宣教士遂以身體照護、醫療服務與科學知識作為橋樑。馬雅各創設醫館,馬偕則透過醫療服務與公開拔牙,使民眾在解除身體病苦的過程中,逐漸放下防備,開啟接觸宗教的因緣。 隨著社會福利制度逐步健全,宗教慈善也必須因應時代而轉型。 他表示,過去宗教團體常扮演補足政府不足的角色,從事「殘補式救濟」;然而,當代社會面對長照、托育、弱勢照顧等高度專業化領域,宗教慈善已逐漸轉向與政府制度配合,並走向非營利組織化與專業分工。齊偉先提醒,宗教慈善不能只從「弘法本位」出發,更應尊重受助者的文化、信仰與尊嚴,使對方在接受幫助的同時,仍能保有主體性。 課程中,齊偉先也回顧星雲大師推動佛光山.....
Humanistic Buddhism for Social Well-being(Ⅲ): An Overview of Grand Master Hsing Yun's Interpretation in Theory and Practice
Sakyamuni Buddha's success when he was alive and the ever-expanding success of Buddhism ever since is heavily dependent on the systems approach which he adopted. Systems approach is a modern, technical term applied in management and operations research. It is based on the view that every system -- from the universe to the smallest human activity -- consists of interdependent and interacting sub-systems or components. No activity, however minute, can be planned, organized, directed or controlled until and unless (i) the relationships among the components are understood, and (ii) the effect which changes in one component have on each of the others is carefully evaluated.
Humanistic Buddhism for the Social Well-being (Ⅰ):An Overview of Grand Master Hsing Yun's Interpretation in Theory and Practice
Venerable Dr. Hsing Yun is the Grand Master of the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Order, the 48th Patriarch of Lin Ji Ch'an tradition, and the foremost Chinese scholar-monk of our times. He has been impressed, since his adolescence, with humanism as the all-pervading characteristic of the teachings of the Buddha. He has devoted a life-time of study, research, contemplation, discussion, and teaching to clarify and elaborate the philosophical concepts inherent in Buddhism and their practical implications. The ultimate result of this effort is the identification of core teachings of the Buddha, which are relevant and immediately applicable to life in this modern world. He calls these teachings Humanistic Buddhism (Renjian Fojiao). He sees in it an enormous potential for social well-being and individual advancement.

人間佛教對社會福利的貢獻(三之三)——綜觀星雲大師在解行上的詮釋
佛世時佛法能夠廣為弘揚,與佛滅後佛法仍能廣泛流行,大部分要歸功於佛陀採用的系統性方法。系統性方法是管理學和作業研究所用的現代術語。它的主要概念是把每一個系統──大至整個宇宙,小至人類最微細的活動──都視為由許多互相緣起、互動的分子所組成。即使再微小的活動,在「1.瞭解各組成分子的彼此關係,及2.審慎評估其中每一組成分子的改變,對其他組成分子造成的影響」之前,我們無法作很好的規畫、組織、執行、和控制。

人間佛教對社會福利的貢獻 ——綜觀星雲大師在解行上的詮釋
〈台灣佛教新史〉之十九——殖民時期佛教文教事業之二: 日本佛教各宗派在台所辦期刊(下)
1915 年爆發了與民間宗教有關的「西來庵事件」,日本統治者驚覺此一事件與宗教信仰不可分,謂曰:「對於本島人之本島固有之宗教,在宗教信念的深厚,實出意料之外,不僅關乎社會福利公安甚大,往往奸黠之徒乘之利用其迷信,是否是統治上不能忽視的呢?故體認此調查時勢,說明適當的措施是必要的。」1 這是台灣宗教調查政策的緣起,其中,總督府社寺課課長丸井圭治郎在1919年3 月完成的《臺灣宗教調查報告書》(第一卷)最為人所熟悉。
「人間佛教的經濟與管理文化」論壇 香港中大演繹
鍠教授引述星雲大師的開示:「錢財不是毒蛇,而是可以作為淨財,成就事業和願心」。教授指出,任何企業都須要講求利潤及效益的最大化,「佛商」追求利益必然有超越功利的「佛道」作為遵循依據,將所獲取的利潤轉化為社會福利,成就企業的最大價值,付出企業的社會責任,這就是佛教研究中心所關注、研究和推廣「人間佛教的經濟與管理文化」的用意所在。 梁元生教授認同星雲大師的觀點,「最好的管理是內心的管理,心正一切正,心淨一切淨,心善一切善。心是萬物之本,把根本管理好是最重要的管理學」。 李焯芬教授指出,「社會企業責任」(Corporate Social Responsibility)活動顯示,企業應用星雲大師推動人間.....
