Bodhisattva Precepts and Their Compatibility with Vinaya in Contemporary Chinese Buddhism: A Cross-Straits Comparative Study (Part 1)
Bodhisattva ideas have steadily developed since medieval times, to become key characteristics of Chinese Mahāyāna Buddhism. Monks and nuns in the Mahāyāna tradition generally have bodhisattva precepts conferred upon them while undergoing the Triple Platform Ordination, and adhering to both these precepts and the bhikṣu/ bhikṣuṇī precepts is a conspicuous feature of Mahāyāna monastic practice. Against this backdrop, it is worth exploring Chinese monastics’ perceptions of the bodhisattva precepts and ideal, and the practices surrounding them, in the current sociocultural contexts of Taiwan and Mainland China. Though both these regions share the same tradition of Chinese Mahāyāna Buddhism, it has very different manifestations. This long-term, cross-Straits comparative study also reveals a hitherto under-theorized conflict between vinaya rules and the bodhisattva ideal.

佛教中國化與人間佛教的當代思考——第十一屆人間佛教研究選題論證會學術講演紀實
教主張辭親出家、無後等戒律,與儒家重視身體髮膚及傳宗接代的觀念背道而馳。為爭取生存空間,牟子、慧遠等早期學者提出出家修行亦能造福父母與社會的觀點。而真正從理論上系統化解這一衝突的,是中國本土形成的大乘菩薩戒經典《梵網經》。 《梵網經》創造性地提出了「孝名為戒」的理念,將孝順對象從父母擴展至師僧與三寶,並將儒家之孝與佛教之戒直接等同。至於「為何孝名為戒」,隋唐以來的高僧大德作出了深層論證。天臺宗智者大師提出「孝能成戒」,視孝為持戒的根本動力;華嚴宗法藏大師則將「父母」概念拓寬至一切眾生,指出行菩薩道救護眾生即是在踐行大孝,使二者義理完全貫通。新羅僧人義寂也從菩薩戒「修善度眾生」的角度,印證了孝順.....
當代漢傳佛教中菩薩戒與毗奈耶的相容性——兩岸比較研究(上)
菩薩思想自中世紀以來就穩步發展,成為漢傳大乘佛教的主要特徵。承襲大乘佛教傳統的比丘和比丘尼在三壇大戒戒會中也會受持菩薩戒;換言之,兼受菩薩戒與比丘/比丘尼戒兩種律儀,是大乘佛教出家僧人的顯著特徵。這一情況延伸出值得探討的議題:在台灣和中國大陸當前的社會文化背景下,中國僧侶對於菩薩戒的認知、理念及其相關實踐為何?雖然這兩個地區根源於相同的漢傳佛教傳統,修行、實踐方式等仍有些許不同。再者,這項長期、跨兩岸的比較研究,也揭示佛教戒律與菩薩思想之間潛在的矛盾與衝突。

塵世閑話——時光慢走
禮佛如佛在 ——以慧思大師《受菩薩戒儀》為中心
天台宗的懺儀是與其止觀實踐相連繫的,而這一宗教傳統乃是源自慧思大師的《受菩薩戒儀》。慧思大師的《受菩薩戒儀》在「禮佛如佛在」的佛教語境中,發展出了「禮佛就禮佛」的「一心禮佛」懺儀體系,即你在懺儀中受菩薩戒完全是你自己的事,而不是做給你必須奉請來見證你受戒的諸佛菩薩和十界眾生看的,所以,在此期間,你只要「一心禮佛」、「一心懺悔」、「一心受戒」就好,別無他事。從這個意義上來說,天台宗懺儀講求的是「心空則靈」,而不是一般而言的「心誠則靈」,因為其中的「一心」,乃是在懺儀過程中無所執著的心。
