The Historic Position of Humanistic Buddhism from the Viewpoint of the Process of Sinicization of Buddhism
Buddhism was founded by Śākyamuni Buddha, and is both a religion and a philosophy. As a religion, Buddhism has a unique belief system, organizational structure, and way of embodying belief through practice (including religious services).

Therefore, the purpose of its belief is not to receive deliverance from sin, but rather to realize liberation from life’s pain and hardship.

代序：道安大師與星雲大師— 一個比較研究的視角
道安大師是東晉時期中國佛教的一位著名領袖，是佛教中國化理論、實踐的一位重要奠基人。本文根據梁武帝蕭衍對道安大師的有關評論，指出道安大師是深具善巧方便智的一位佛教導師。不僅根據道安所遺留三篇般若類經典的詮釋文獻，對這一觀點予以了充分的證成，還通過對道安弟子僧叡、慧遠相關思想的觀察，發掘出道安系統的《般若經》理解重視般若、方便辯證關係的重要義理詮釋傳統。
