論《佛教叢書9‧藝文》的選文標準及思想內涵
《佛教叢書》由星雲大師編纂,希望人們能通過這套代表性叢書完整了解佛教的思想體系,其中《藝文》是佛教文學選本。與歷代的佛教文學選本相比較,《藝文》有鮮明的特點,星雲大師的選文標準體現了他的佛學思想和文學觀念。本文擬從三個方面進行分析:一、《藝文》的文獻來源,其中的作品大部分出自僧侶之手,還有不少非僧人作者,但作品被收入佛教典籍;另外有一部分作者既非僧人,作品也未被收入佛教典籍。二、《藝文》的選文標準整體而言體現了佛法世法的圓融,大部分作品展現佛理;少部分關乎世俗倫理;藝術價值、能否流傳也是他的選文標準。三、《藝文》作品體現的人間佛教思想,通過具體文本,分析其中涉及的苦、忍辱、孝等人間佛教思想。
Dharma Function with Sound, Dharma Propagation with Music–A Study of Buddhist Chants and Buddhist Songs of Fo Guang Chan
This paper introduces the historical development and current state of Buddhist chants and songs at Fo Guang Shan, an international Buddhist headquarters founded by Venerable Master Hsing Yun. This study also offers academic analysis of the musical forms from a selected set of Buddhist chants and songs with a specific focus on how particular musical forms are manifested in these as well as why they have become popular. Most of the musical scores are transcribed by the author, some of them from recordings made in the main shrine of Fo Guang Shan, and others provided by the Fo Guang Shan Institute of Humanistic Buddhism.
Greed, Desire, and the Universal Need for Master Hsing Yun's Humanistic Buddhism: A View from the United States
Greed. We all know greed is a problem. U.S. citizen Bernie Madoff’s successful investment fund attracted wealthy investors. Every year his returns on investment were much larger than those of other funds. In the end it turned out that he was not investing his customers’ money at all. Instead, he was running a Ponzi or “pyramid” scheme, paying off the investors who withdrew their money with the money he was taking in from new investors. While the Ponzi scheme was going strong, he was the toast of New York City and highly admired by others in the finance world. When thousands of his customers lost large sums of money, he became the poster boy of greed. Yet of course his customers were greedy too.
Geneaology and Taxonomy of the ‘Twentieth-century Renjian Fojiao 人間佛教’Mapping a famen 法門 from Mainland China and Taiwan to Europe
The first part of this paper will discuss concepts and practice of‘twentieth-century renjian fojiao’; it will start analyzing theoretical meanings and doctrinal implications of renjian fojiao in modern and contemporary Mainland China and Taiwan, and assess various case studies of ‘renjian fojiao in practice’ among Buddhist communities since the Republican period onwards and also from the pre-modern Imperial time. I will attempt a taxonomy of these principles and practices, and then ponder whether this renjian fojiao should not be classified as an overall ‘school’(zongpai 宗派) but considered rather as a ‘Dharma gate’ (famen 法門). Secondly, I will consider the transmission of renjian fojiao to Europe, more precisely the Netherlands, in particular I will look at how (Mainland China) Longquan monastery 龍泉寺 (located in Utrecht) and (Taiwan) Fo Guang Shan 佛光山 (located in Amsterdam) are adopting and adapting ‘twentieth-century renjian fojiao’ in the Netherlands. Finally, this paper will conclude by questioning how ‘twentieth-century renjian fojiao’ could be more present in international platforms that are working towards conflict resolutions and peace building, and therefore could intervene and facilitate dialogue and constructive interaction among different cultures and religions in today’s globalized and pluralistic society.
A Discussion on "Faith" in Humanistic Buddhism as Exemplified by Venerable Master Hsing Yun's "Positive Forecasts for Life"
《人生卜事》是星雲大師依生命經驗口述的108則法語,希望佛法能在人有困境時,乃至日常生活中,做心靈上的指南。《人生卜事》的設計與用法看起來像算命,違背表面上的佛教教義:但是所謂的「卜事」不是占卜,而是透過對因果的釐清、身口意的淨化來改變人的命運。此設計受大眾的喜愛,展現星雲大師人間佛教的信仰觀。星雲大師針對當代迷信的引導,對比佛陀時代吠陀的祭祀儀式之教義,有多方面的相似之處,能看出星雲大師弘法的善巧方便。另外,本文旨在探討《人生卜事》如何引導人的正確信仰:從充滿迷信、恐懼,及個人慾望的信仰,到慈悲、智慧、利益眾生的菩薩道。

AI大語言模型 ChatGPT 在人間佛教弘法中的應用與未來展望
AI 大語言模型ChatGPT 憑藉其在人機交互方面的突破性創新,正在引領一場社會變革,並加速AI 時代的全面到來。對致力於弘法創新的人間佛教而言,該項技術在理論與實踐上具有應用的必要性和可行性,能夠在文化交流、教育培養和學術研究等領域發揮重要作用。然而,面對由資本、權力與科技聯合驅動的AI 技術創新導致的人的異化以及社會分化困境,人間佛教需要夯實經濟基礎,重視AI 與弘法的有機融合,積極發揮對社會價值觀的正向引導作用。同時,也需妥善處理與各方社會力量的互動關係,以應對AI 時代的挑戰。
Humanistic Features in Contemporary Chan Practices: Using Fo Guang Chan as an Example
From the transmission and lineage of the Chinese Chan School, the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Order founded by Venerable Master Hsing Yun derives from the Linji School. The “Fo Guang Chan” initiated by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, emphasizes equal attention to faith and practice, the development of meditation and wisdom, and the practice of compassion and wisdom. This is evident in its method of teaching, curriculum design, setting, and delivery. It fully integrates with modern society, contemporary knowledge and conditions, and has started a new practice of Chan.
