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。
