The Spread of Humanistic Buddhism
Today, we are discussing the spread of Humanistic Buddhism and I want to put it into the context of the history of how Buddhism has spread over the centuries. Buddhist sources of history recount the first spread of Buddhism outside of India to Sri Lanka during the lifetime of the founder, sometime in the 5th century BCE. By the 13th century of the Common Era, the religion could be found in a wide area of southeast Eurasia in what I have termed “The Great Circle of Buddhism.”
Humanistic Buddhism: The Essence of Learning for Life in Guang Ming College
Giving importance to education and cognizant of the multifaceted talents of many Filipinos, Venerable Master Hsing Yun founded in June 2014 in the Philippines the fifth consortium school of Fo Guang Shan educational system, the Guang Ming College. Being the pioneer Humanistic Buddhist College in the Philippines, Guang Ming College is open to students of all faiths who are willing to learn and to mutually respect one another's customs, cultural traditions, and religious affiliations.
Humanistic Buddhism: Responding to Contemporary Developments
There are contemporary approaches to the use of Buddhist practices that can be said to be revolutionary in terms of how we study and evaluate the tradition. Since these practices are directed toward the public domain, they are one type of “Humanistic Buddhism.” A challenge for Buddhist groups is how to respond to these developments. A similar challenge exists for the academic study of Buddhism. How can we understand and deal with the contemporary world that has emerged?
Translating Fo Guang Dictionary of Buddhism: Building Online Collaborative Buddhist Translation Projects with Small Crowdsource Platforms
As a second generation Chinese immigrant in Australia, my parents provided well for us to grow up and to receive an education in the Australian language and culture. Nevertheless, on the weekends, they also brought us to the local Fo Guang Shan temple—the Nan Tien Vihara, so that we can reconnect with our Chinese roots through continued learning of the Chinese language and participation in the Chinese religious experience inside Nan Tien Temple. Certainly, we were very happy to have that opportunity to also witness the development of Humanistic Buddhism in Australia.

Humanistic Religion From Guodian to Vimalakirti
This paper will argue that the term “Humanistic Buddhism,” which Venerable Master Hsing Yun describes as central to all of Buddhism, is also fundamental to Chinese religion as a collective group. Such an expansion is in keeping with the spirit of his recent publication 365 Days for Travelers: Wisdom from Chinese Literary and Buddhist Classics. Here we see an enlargement of humanism to include a general assessment of Chinese culture. It because of this expansion that this paper uses the term “Humanistic Religion” instead of “Humanistic Buddhism.” Crucial support for the centrality of humanism to Chinese religion comes from it being expressed with the greatest clarity and earliest date in the recently excavated Guodian corpus (郭店楚簡). As such, Guodian represents a missing link between Buddhism and other pre-Han religious systems. Venerable Master Hsing-yun sees Humanistic Buddhism as a system that has particular utility for overcoming divisions; as such it is interested in developing the linkages with indigenous Chinese religion that I will be detailing in this paper. Specifically, Humanistic Buddhism: Holding True to the Original Intents of Buddha, states that the schisms which arose after the passing of the Buddha can be overcome with humanism. In the publications by Fo Guang Shan I have reviewed so far, however, recently excavated manuscripts have not been considered and this will one of the contributions of this paper.
「高牆心聲」—佛光山監獄教化活動的文本挖掘及 LDA 模型分析研究
佛教參與罪犯改造具有理論和實踐的雙重意義。本文以佛光山監獄教化活動為研究對象，意在通過分析參與者的直接回饋，探索活動對服刑人員的作用，提供監獄教化組織參考；使用TF-IDF 關鍵字提取和 LDA 模型，並進行特徵分組，分析106 篇參與心得；佛光山的監獄教化活動能夠積極影響參與者，不同活動產生不同效果。活動立足佛教「心靈」解脫，效果與「四給」理念契合，與教化點關係不大，與活動設計關係密切。「佛學會考」、「三皈五戒」活動具有較強宗教色彩，參與者更專注從內心獲得精神歸屬，群體間思想感悟相似。巡迴講座參與者更容易與主講人共情，加強自我反思，產生特有的內心感受。命題式書畫競賽在一定程度上束縛了參與者思惟發散與情感宣洩。教化活動呈現連續性和承接性，與佛教「信解行證」修行契合。但教化組合仍處於非自覺狀態，未來的教化活動須靈活組織，有針對性地開展。
人間仏教と現代社会
心と呼ぶことができる生物は地上には数多く生息します。しかし、考える、すなわち、「思考する」という能力を有した生き物は人間だけです。それは、人間のみが、大脳の表面を占める灰白質の薄い層からなる大脳新皮質を具えたからです。
