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。

Recrafting Role Models: A Discussion of the Contemporary Application of Buddhist Life Education Through the Comic—The Ten Great Disciples
As an aspect of social life, religion has the adaptive function of helping humans overcome psychological and daily obstacles, attaining inner stability and peace of mind; the integrative function of consolidating group cohesion through common beliefs, bringing out the organizational power of human communities; and the cognitive function of solving the enigma of ultimate meaning, answering fundamental questions on life, the universe, existence, and morality for humans. These three functions of religion imply its capacity to meet the three essential needs of survival, community integration, and addressing the ultimate concern in life, hence its importance cannot be understated.

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.

Then, using these clues, the relevant documentary materials available in Chinese are used to further describe the early localization of music in Japan. Finally, based on a comparison of field surveys and relevant documentary data, a comparative analysis of these two schools of Buddhist music is made, taking into account their status and respective conditions within the opposed courses of globalization and localization, and in relation to being either a transmitter or receiver of musical ideas.
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.

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.
