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.

「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。

傳統中醫VS.人間佛教
「人間佛教」為生活在人間的我們,規劃了一個非常完整的藍圖,只要將它真正落實在人間,實現在人間,即可提昇人的素養,提高生活品質,共創人間淨土。 星雲大師曾說:「人類的身體,不是用來綑縛心靈的;人類的身體,是用來幫助心靈,圓滿生命智慧的,是用來修行結善緣的。不幸的是:由於我們智慧不足,悲心不夠、不能認識自己。因此大部份人類的身體,反而變成了心靈的障礙,甚至奴役心靈,綑住心靈而不自知,則身苦心也苦。」 我們可以從傳統中醫和佛陀教化兩大學識的融和當中,透視身體與「心、神(靈)、氣」的互動關係,進而融和「身、心、神(靈)、氣」的合作,以提昇生命的境界。一個有慈悲心、有智慧、懂得對內修身養性、對外待人處世的人間菩薩,可以救自己、救社會、國家、世界。如果每一個人都樂意以慈悲、智慧對己待人,並開發「如來真我空性」,那麼當下就是極樂淨土。有病亦不為病所苦,即使身苦心也不苦。
