抗戰勝利後青年星雲佛教改革的萌芽(1945-1948)
一九四九年春,星雲大師來台,輾轉於各地,當時遠在東台灣的宜蘭雷音寺,雖然早在一九五二年五月十六日成立「週六念佛會」,但是,乏人領導,前來弘法的緇素總是來來去去。雷音寺渴求常住弘法僧眾不可得,最終於一九五三年春後,寺方護法李決和與林松年二人到中佛會求助,獲青年星雲的首肯。 青年星雲從一九五三常駐宜蘭雷音寺,至一九六二年南下高雄開創壽山寺,以整整十年的時間,奠定了佛光山人間佛教事業的藍圖。然而,青年星雲佛教改革的思想萌芽甚早,非自來台而始。 本文以抗戰勝利初期,青年星雲一篇罕為人知的文章〈回憶比現實美麗—略談勝利後京滬一帶的佛教〉,來探討其佛教改革思想。此文青年星雲以「星子」為筆名,談論抗戰勝利後京滬佛教的改革情況,而這也正是他日後改革佛教的萌生之濫觴。
戰後人間佛教議題在台灣的開展(1945-1987)―以《臺灣佛教》為中心
佛教雜誌的弘法功能在戰後初期有著不可忽視的重要性,是為當時主要的文字弘法型態。且由於《臺灣佛教》是台灣佛教界最早的一份刊物,又為當時擁有台灣佛教發展主導權之中國佛教會所創辦,因此,本文以《臺灣佛教》為例,期能藉由考察當時佛教界人士於佛教雜誌中發表的文章,來作為人間佛教進入台灣初期如何被討論、實踐的佐證之一。再者,過去探討台灣佛教雜誌的研究較少,故希望藉由此類材料的利用來印證過往學者對相關議題的研究。 本文嘗試藉由對佛教雜誌中所收錄之人間佛教相應內容,分別從戰後台灣的佛教改革背景、佛教雜誌概況、人間佛教相關議題及實行概況等方面,進行史料蒐集、文本分析,梳理雜誌中所收錄之文章、報導。綜合當中與人間佛教相關內容的分析、歸納,總結人間佛教思想在進入台灣初期的討論及其後來發展的狀況。
A Study on the Admonitions of Pure Land (Jingtu Jingyu) by Xingce
Xingce Jieliu 行策截流 (1626-1680) was a famous Pure Land Master during the Qing Dynasty. He devoted himself to the Pure Land practice for self liberation in his early years, and propagated the Pure Land practice for liberating sentient beings in his later years. The Admonitions of Pure Land (Jingtu Jingyu) is Xingce's representative work. Within this work, Xingce emphasized the True Faith for rebirth in the Pure Land and argued that the most expedient Buddhist teaching for rebirth in the Pure Land is the recitation of Amitabha Buddha's name. Xingce adopted Tiantai doctrines as the theoretical foundations to support Pure Land practice. In recognition of his great dedication, Master Yinguang honored Xingce as the 10th patriarch of the Pure Land School.
A Study of the Jin'gang pi
Tiantai school flourished during the time of its founder, Zhiyi (538-597), and went into decline after his disciple Guanding (561-632) passed away. The adjust it to the changing environment of the Tang China composed a number of exegetic and explanatory works. His effort culminated in his final masterpiece: Jin'gang pi (The Diamond Cutter). In this text, Zhanran presented specifically Tiantai interpretation of the idea that even insentient beings possess the Buddha nature; an argument which opposed the widely accepted interpretation of the Mahaparinirvāṇa sutra statement that only sentient beings possess the Buddha nature.
