Recent Conclusions on the Theory of Humanistic Buddhism: Looking at Venerable Master Hsing Yun from Hear Me Out: Messages from a Humble Monk
The book Hear Me Out: Messages from a Humble Monk was written by Venerable Master Hsing Yun and published in 2015. The book, among the nearly thirty million Chinese characters written by the Venerable Master so far, has two distinct features. Firstly, it is a work of Buddhist apologetics in the contemporary era, written in response to the recent accusations against the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation made by the Taiwanese media. The special causes and conditions of its writing endow this book with a distinctive theme, and with a high degree of realism and relevance.
Greed, Desire, and the Universal Need for Master Hsing Yun's Humanistic Buddhism: A View from the United States
Greed. We all know greed is a problem. U.S. citizen Bernie Madoff’s successful investment fund attracted wealthy investors. Every year his returns on investment were much larger than those of other funds. In the end it turned out that he was not investing his customers’ money at all. Instead, he was running a Ponzi or “pyramid” scheme, paying off the investors who withdrew their money with the money he was taking in from new investors. While the Ponzi scheme was going strong, he was the toast of New York City and highly admired by others in the finance world. When thousands of his customers lost large sums of money, he became the poster boy of greed. Yet of course his customers were greedy too.
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。
Venerable Master Hsing Yun's Methodology for the Practice of Humanistic Buddhism: a Case Study of Chan at Hsi Lai Temple
本文以星雲大師「人間佛教」的實踐為研究對象。本研究將從幾個面向展開：禪的定義、禪在西來寺的實踐、以及對其進行評估，並作為現代社會的一個基本準則。
The Concept of Wealth in Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s Humanistic Buddhism
Venerable Master Hsing Yun has actively promoted the propagation and practice of Humanistic Buddhism. He believes that, “In the twentieth century, due to the awakening of Buddhists, Buddhism returned to its traditional fundamental teachings, and at the same time adapted itself through modernization. Therefore, the ‘Humanistic Buddhism’ of the twenty-first century was born to meet the needs of the time,” and that “what is known as Humanistic Buddhism needs to have humanity, altruism, joy, universality, timeliness, and an emphasis on daily life. It should be based on bodhicitta and traveling the bodhisattva path, always moving upward, forward, toward truth, wholesomeness, and toward the ultimate and perfection of the Buddhist way.”
Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s Perspective on Humanistic Buddhism’s Life Education
Venerable Master Hsing Yun is the most important practitioner promoting the development of the contemporary Humanistic Buddhism movement. After arriving in Taiwan, he devoted himself to various causes aimed at maintaining the Dharma in the human world. This has entailed extensive practical efforts for its realization, focused specifically on six aspects: 1. popularizing Buddhism 2. propagating Buddhism 3. Buddhist education 4. establishing culture 5. building Dharma centers and 6. charitable works.
佛光山藏經樓星雲大師「一筆字」美學研究
「一筆字」是星雲大師的獨創，極富藝術和生命的感染力。「一筆字」源於大師的生命經歷和修行境界，具有審美意義上的神聖筆法，筆筆見性；同時，其審美內涵表徵在字體結構上的氣勢―豎窮三際，橫遍十方。「一筆字」是大師以藝術弘法，踐行人間佛教善巧方便智慧的典型代表，表現出了星雲大師「人間佛教」大愛的精神世界和「一筆字」的精神內核，是大師數十年修持戒定慧和播撒人間佛教大愛的「筆墨舍利」。
專題講演：我學習、研究星雲大師人間佛教的一些體會
我本人有幸和佛教結緣很早，童年時代因老家住在著名的地藏菩薩道場池州九華山上，初中時讀書的學校就是山上一座廢棄的寺廟，所以自幼對佛教就不陌生，有著特殊的感情，可能這是自己日後學佛、研究佛教一個很重要的因緣。 在八○年代初年的時候，我有殊勝機會輾轉獲得星雲大師著作《佛陀十大弟子傳》，當時就像閱讀《水滸傳》、金庸先生武俠小說似地，好奇地讀過一遍。1990 年進入南京大學哲學系攻讀碩士學位，當時導師賴永海先生正在策劃「中國佛教經典寶藏白話版」系列叢書，我也參與這套叢書的編著。因為參與這個過程，所以在二十三、四歲的時候，就有機會真正對星雲大師所弘揚的人間佛教，以及推動佛教與現代社會接軌的精神和關懷，有較為深切的感受。
主題演說之一：把「求」的佛教變成「給」的佛教——星雲大師人間佛教給當代佛教的啟示
有人這樣評價佛光山：「佛光山是給出來的。」此說有兩層含義：一是佛光山給了信眾乃至社會大眾他們所需要的東西，二是社會大眾反過來給佛光山以援手，成就了佛光山。
一切法如幻——寂護和太虛對《楞伽經》宗旨的解釋比對
《楞伽經》為眾經之樞要，佛法之理窟。印度的中觀派、瑜伽行派及中觀瑜伽行派、漢地的禪宗、藏地的寧瑪派等都依據該經奠立自己的教義基礎。在太虛大師的教理體系中，《楞伽經》也占據了核心的地位。因此，這是一部跨越地域文化和宗派分歧的經典，其宗旨值得探討。本文選擇了時間、空間上相隔都頗為遙遠的寂護和太虛的闡釋來對比研究。寂護是印度佛教中觀瑜伽行派和吐蕃前弘期佛教的奠基者，太虛大師是二十世紀以來具有世界影響的「人生佛教」開拓者。對比研究他們對《楞伽經》宗旨的解釋，可以拓展理解《楞伽》經義的空間。
