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.

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。

人間佛教思潮中的菩薩戒思想——以太虛為中心的考察
一般認為，人間佛教是近代以來漢傳佛教的主流思潮，人間佛教的概念最早由太虛大師（1889-1944）正式提出，其弟子印順（1906-2005）進行了系統闡釋，此後，佛教界以人間佛教為旗幟，大力促進佛教的現代化轉型。人間佛教無論是在理論、修行還是戒律僧制方面，都與傳統佛教存在諸多差異。教界與學界對這一問題已經進行了數量眾多、質量精深的研究。有學者總結道：「與傳統佛教相比較，人間佛教由重生死、重出世轉為重現實人生、重入世，由以僧人為本位轉為以社會成員為本位，由追求彼岸淨土轉為建設現世淨土。」
