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.

【佛陀紀念館實10周年紀念專書──歷史篇第2章】佛陀紀念館建蓋的緣由及其社會資源
恭奉佛陀真身舍利是否是佛館設立的關鍵因素？本章所欲了解的是，為何星雲大師要為「佛牙舍利」建佛館？雖然是希望讓大家都可以瞻仰佛陀真身舍利，但供養舍利不一定要蓋這麼大的場域，而且台灣社會不一定會認同、接受。 因此，在佛牙被迎回台灣之後，到佛陀紀念館建成時，中國傳統的舍利信仰如何在台灣社會被接受，而台灣人民又如何看待佛陀真身舍利？這些牽涉到佛館設立過程中的核心問題。如何將勝義諦融入世俗，而重新詮釋神聖之後，是否也提升了佛館的地位與影響力，進而達到佛國淨土的落實，這是本章所要討論的重點。
