無聲唱出百年病――民國佛教與青年星雲 (1939-1949) 的「人間僧伽教育」觀
《無聲息的歌唱》一書是青年星雲來台後所集結的第一本書，其撰寫時間約在1950 年冬。該書透過佛教法物、非法物等，點出佛教弊病。因「物語」所揭櫫佛教現象，距其來台不過一年，故無疑絕大部分佛門事態，當是其在大陸時期的見聞。而文中透過「物語」所傳達的佛教沉痾，不僅是近現代中國佛教所欲改革的內容，更重要的是成為吹響人間佛教的號角。本文欲藉此書探討青年星雲的改革理念，以及其人間佛教藍圖的僧伽教育觀。
隨順與智用：闖一條人間佛教的新路—以星雲大師1963 年七國訪問日記為考察中心
細細爬梳星雲大師1963年所著近30萬言的訪問日記《海天遊踪》，筆者看到其在80天的時間內先後訪泰國、印度、馬來西亞、新加坡、菲律賓、日本及英治香港，沿途不僅會逸興遄飛，更將「一路所見所聞所思毫無保留的記錄下來」。筆者通過研究分析大師對海外佛教的觀察與思考，捕捉記述他剎那的感受，可以發現七國行思是星雲大師對人間佛教道路自信的最真實脈動，字裡行間感受到星雲大師對人間佛教拔苦予樂、隨順智用、紹隆佛種的建模發端。星雲大師參訪七國佛教界和當地社會的視閾再擴展，不僅促其堅信1950年自己對台灣佛教事業辛苦踐行「要改制適應新的歷史時代」是完全正確的方向，更堅定其繼續對佛教事業在未來發展的頂層探索之路，以最終找到一個將佛教予以全面人間化暨通俗化並創建落地生根的核心載體 —佛光山應運而生成為必然。這部半個多世紀前的《海天遊踪》日記作為思忖之作，處處「充滿智慧的思想」，從中呈現出星雲大師勾勒人間佛教的最初願景：始終堅持要從正面、積極的角度對佛法予以開示。這種方法不僅能達到信眾歡喜的基本目的，更能實现佛法住世的最終目的：「創造了人間佛教改善人心的無限價值」，「發揮宗教淨化社會人心之功用」，以奉獻國家、服務社會。
當佛陀約會神明「2015 世界神明朝山聯誼會」觀察思考
本文通過對2015 年「世界神明朝山聯誼會」的觀察，記錄台灣佛光山與「世界各路神明」的交流與互動，進而探討星雲大師人間佛教之民間信仰思想的新發展。作者發現，聯誼會已經從「全台神佛會」演變為「世界神明朝山聯誼會」，並顯現出從「宗教」到「文化」的演變趨勢。文章認為，星雲大師在認定「人有佛性，神當然也有佛性」、肯定「有歷史可考」的民間信仰對民間有益、認定民間信仰的神明是佛教的「護法神」的基礎上，提出神佛應當團結起來「共襄盛舉」，並進而完善了他的「正信」理論，即正信的本質是自心自性，正信的態度是尊重包容和交流往來，正信的方向是追求真善美和世界和平。由此，星雲大師人間佛教思想達到了一個新高峰。
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。
A Study of Humanistic Buddhism Returning to India: Observations and Reflections on the Fo Guang Shan New Delhi Educational and Cultural Centre
The journey of Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s Humanistic Buddhism back to India can generally be divided into two stages. The first stage spanned from 1963 to 2008, when the Venerable Master made eight pilgrimages to India and gradually affirmed his desire to bring Buddhism back there. He and some of his monastics began to develop a preliminary plan. The second stage began with the establishment of the New Delhi Educational and Cultural Centre (hereinafter referred to as the Centre). By building a temple, initiating educational programs, setting up charitable clinics, and engaging in cross-cultural exchanges, Buddhism was reestablished in India.
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 Buddhism for Social Well-being(Ⅲ): An Overview of Grand Master Hsing Yun's Interpretation in Theory and Practice
Sakyamuni Buddha's success when he was alive and the ever-expanding success of Buddhism ever since is heavily dependent on the systems approach which he adopted. Systems approach is a modern, technical term applied in management and operations research. It is based on the view that every system -- from the universe to the smallest human activity -- consists of interdependent and interacting sub-systems or components. No activity, however minute, can be planned, organized, directed or controlled until and unless (i) the relationships among the components are understood, and (ii) the effect which changes in one component have on each of the others is carefully evaluated.
Humanistic Buddhism for the Social Well-being (Ⅰ)：An Overview of Grand Master Hsing Yun's Interpretation in Theory and Practice
Venerable Dr. Hsing Yun is the Grand Master of the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Order, the 48th Patriarch of Lin Ji Ch'an tradition, and the foremost Chinese scholar-monk of our times. He has been impressed, since his adolescence, with humanism as the all-pervading characteristic of the teachings of the Buddha. He has devoted a life-time of study, research, contemplation, discussion, and teaching to clarify and elaborate the philosophical concepts inherent in Buddhism and their practical implications. The ultimate result of this effort is the identification of core teachings of the Buddha, which are relevant and immediately applicable to life in this modern world. He calls these teachings Humanistic Buddhism (Renjian Fojiao). He sees in it an enormous potential for social well-being and individual advancement.
