Chan Buddhism During the Times of Venerable Master Yixuan and Venerable Master Hsing Yun: Applying Chinese Chan Principles to Contemporary Society
Linji Venerable Master Yixuan 臨濟義玄 (d. 866) and Fo Guang Venerable Master Hsing Yun 佛光星雲 (1927–), although separated by more than a millennium, innovatively applied Chan teachings to the societies in which they lived to help their devotees discover their humanity and transcend their existential conditions. Both religious leaders not only survived persecution, but brought their faiths to greater heights. This paper studies how these masters adapted Chan Buddhist teachings to the woes and conditions of their times. In particular, I shall review how Venerable Master Yixuan and Venerable Master Hsing Yun adapted the teachings of their predecessors, added value to the sociopolitical milieu of their times, and used familiar language to reconcile reality and their beliefs.

《作為思想的近代佛教》第三講——鈴木大拙與靈性論（一）
近年終於看到了關於鈴木大拙（1870-1966）的批判性研究，不得不說這是一件十分可喜的事。過去大家把鈴木視為偉大的思想家、宗教家和學者等，把他視為聖人，因此很容易形成一種不可批評的傾向。 誠然，學習和繼承先人的偉業非常重要，不過，為了讓其真正典範永傳，就必須進行開放性的學術批評與討論，釐清哪些部分才是經得住歷史考驗而能流芳百世。拙見以為，關於鈴木大拙的批判性研究之時機已逐漸成熟。
〈台灣佛教新史〉之十一——日本佛教各宗派在台布教發展（一）
日本殖民時期來台的宗派有華嚴宗、天台宗、真言宗（高野派、醍醐派）、禪宗（臨濟宗妙心寺派、曹洞宗）、淨土宗（淨土宗、西山深草派）、真宗（本願寺派、大谷派、木邊派）、日蓮宗、法華宗（顯本法華宗、本門法華宗），共八宗十四派。日本佛教各宗入台後，幾乎都以台北地區為布教中心，隨著時間的推移，以及布教工作的深化，逐漸地跨散到全台，展開殖民半世紀的歷史（1895-1945）。
