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.

佛陀教法思想之根本宗旨是現法樂、後世樂、究竟樂之辯證統一——《雜阿含經》義理辯證之一
《雜阿含經》，是中國佛教所傳原始佛教四部聖典之一。此經在漢譯中有兩個傳本，一個是南朝劉宋時期求那跋陀羅所譯的《雜阿含經》50 卷，翻譯時間在西元435 至445 年之間；一個是失譯人名的《別譯雜阿含經》20 卷，其譯出時間，一般推斷比劉宋譯為早。在南傳佛教中，相傳有五部聖典，漢傳佛教所傳譯的《雜阿含經》，與南傳佛教五部聖典中《相應部》經典大體上相當。
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。
