Editor’s Preface: A Treasury of Academic Thought on Humanistic Buddhism
Taking the Retrocession of Taiwan in 1945 as the starting point of the restoration of Chinese Buddhism, along with the emergence of the four major monastic orders on this island, Humanistic Buddhism has just celebrated its seventy-first birthday. However, we should consider that Master Taixu (hereinafter Taixu) first proposed the concept of “Humanistic Buddhism” in his article “On The China Times and the so-called ‘Sūtras and Mantras to Save the Nation’” published in Ocean Waves Magazine Vol. 13, No. 9 (1932), and that he delivered his lecture on “How to Build Humanistic Buddhism” at the Hankou Chamber of Commerce in October of the following year. These first definitions of Humanistic Buddhism included a preliminary explanation of the methodology and philosophy of Humanistic Buddhism, and how it could be developed from this foundation. From this other perspective, it can be said that modern Humanistic Buddhism has been practiced for more than eighty years.
A Study on Gender Equality in Humanistic Buddhism
Since Humanistic Buddhism was first proposed by Master Taixu, the issue of gender equality has gradually kindled widespread discussion in the field of Buddhism. During the Republican Era, Master Taixu and the female Buddhists of the Pure Bodhi Vihara have actively expressed their views on gender equality. Eventually, they reached a consensus of respecting a woman’s character, protecting her rights, and advocating equal status between men and women.

A Study of Gender Equality in Humanistic Buddhism
Since Humanistic Buddhism was first proposed by Master Taixu, the issue of gender equality has gradually kindled widespread discussion in the field of Buddhism. During the Republican Era, Master Taixu and the female Buddhists of the Pure Bodhi Vihara have actively expressed their views on gender equality. Eventually, they reached a consensus of respecting a woman’s character, protecting her rights, and advocating equal status between men and women. After 1949, under the impetus of Venerable Master Hsing Yun, Venerable Yin Shun, Venerable Sheng Yen, Venerable Chaohwei, thoughts on gender equality in Taiwan have made great strides. After 1980, the rejuvenation of Humanistic Buddhism in Mainland China in turn developed thoughts on gender equality. As a result, the overall status of female Buddhists in Mainland China has remarkably improved.

人間佛教與當代社會第二堂課 人間佛教與AI之覺醒與共生
間佛教研究院副院長妙光法師主持，共同探討佛教在AI時代所面臨的機遇與挑戰。 李利安將從社會結構變遷、自我價值重塑、人際關係變革等多個角度，深入剖析AI時代對人類社會的影響，並探討佛教作為一門深具智慧的思想體系，如何為當代人提供重新思考生命本質的路徑。他認為AI與佛教的對話不僅是科技與人文的交鋒，更是人類在快速變遷的時代中，尋找精神依歸的一次契機－－在危機中覺醒，在共生中前行。 此外，李利安也以AI與菩薩進行類比，指出菩薩在大乘佛教發展中的革新角色，與AI在現代社會的變革性影響具有某種相似性。例如，AI在醫療輔助診斷、智慧交通、精準農業等領域的應用，正如菩薩「應以何身得度者，即現何身而為說法」，.....
主題座談「拭目以待的挑戰與機遇：人間佛教如何面對AI時代的降臨」
度提升至終極關懷的高度。佛教與中國傳統文化的深度融合，很大程度上正是因佛教與生俱來的對“情”的重視。張教授認為，東方文化區別於西方理性主義傳統，它強調通過“情”來認識世界、關照生命，這一點在儒釋道各家思想中均有體現。星雲大師曾提出“有情有義”的人間佛教觀，這是對佛教精神內核的生動詮釋。而AI雖可精准複現語言和邏輯，卻無法真正理解和傳遞“情”的價值，因此，人間佛教在AI時代的獨特性依然不可替代。 張文良教授以“緣起學說”進一步闡釋了佛教對“情”的終極關懷。他引用佛陀關於“一切眾生皆有如來智慧德相”的理念，指出佛教不僅強調智慧，更強調共情與慈悲，這正是人間佛教與AI的根本區別。在AI時代，人類應當.....
