The Localization and Spread of Japanese Buddhism
It is well-known that Japanese Buddhism came from China, and in the course of its acceptance and accommodation into Japanese society, it underwent many changes, whether planned or unintentional. Are these changes original innovations or complacent degeneration? The distinction may be subtle. It is certainly not our role here to resolve this question by passing value judgements, as there might be necessary reasons behind these changes. Rather than simply making a value judgement, the researcher prioritize the pursuit of truth. Having said that, when considering the nature of religion, we must necessarily be concerned with how changes affect the vitality of religion.
Localization Of Humanistic Buddhism In The West
In Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s diary summary for the latter half of January 1990, a period where he spent his time at Hsi Lai Temple in Los Angeles, we read a record highlighting two important steps in the localization of Humanistic Buddhism in the West: Starting from Hsi Lai Temple we are actualizing the first step of “The Dharma waters constantly flow throughout the five continents”, and the founding of the Buddha Light International Association will further enhance harmonious interaction and exchange between each nation worldwide. Finally, we are not letting down the Patriarch’s intention in coming from the West!(Hsing Yun 1994)
Fo Guang Shan’s ‘Localization of Buddhism’ within the Internationalization of Buddhism
Localization is the primary reason that Buddhism flourished in China. Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s emphasis on adapting Buddhism to local cultural practices is crucial to Fo Guang Shan’s success in spreading the Dharma overseas. This paper discusses the process of localizing Buddhism in the West, focusing on the philosophy and methodology of localization, as well as the ways in which Fo Guang Shan has successfully localized in Western countries.

The Localization of Buddhist Teachings within Glocalization
The purposes of promoting Buddhist culture and education are to guide sentient beings towards purifying their body and mind, and awakening their wisdom. By relying on cultural and educational means, it is possible to avoid conflicts between different religious faiths and allow non-Buddhists to accept Buddhist culture. In the course of accepting Buddhist culture, they will be able to gradually understand and eventually accept Buddhism. It is a kind of “skillful and expedient means” of the Dharma. Through culture and education, we can teach according to the learners’ aptitude, bring benefits and joy to all sentient beings and allow them to gain wisdom.
The Key to Promoting Localization is not to ‘Discard’ but to ‘Give’–My View on ‘De-sinicization'
In Taiwan, issues of provincial origin and ethnicity are often intentionally used to manipulate elections. During the March 2004 presidential election, ethnic sentiment was once again provoked to the extent that some people chanted slogans of “localization” and “de-sinicization.” This throws us into doubt. In this era of multiculturalism, when countries are making every effort to absorb other cultures, it is indeed perplexing—and even unfathomable—why some Taiwanese people are moving to “discard” a culture via “de-sinicization.”

世界佛教史視域下的「佛教中國化」及其「海外本土化」
人間佛教的變與不變
總體上看,中國佛教歷史進程的基本脈絡呈現出三期連動的走向,從西漢到隋唐,在長達一千年的過程中,歷史的主脈是引進、消化、吸收印度佛教,不但播下佛法的種子,而且完成了本土化轉型,實現了理論扎根與實踐的拓展,在不斷學習、不斷創新、不斷弘揚的歷史進程中,形成文化型與學術型佛教的高度繁榮。 促成這一歷史主脈形成的核心因素是域外僧人的入華傳教、中國僧人的西行求法、中外僧人的合作譯經、大批僧俗學人的踴躍譯經講經,以及信眾的寫經、抄經、印經、刻經、唱經、誦經、供經等,以及在此基礎上主要由高僧大德完成的理論辨析、理論建構、理論推廣。
人間佛教回傳印度研究——「佛光山德里文教中心」觀察思考
星雲大師人間佛教回傳印度的歷程,可以大致分為兩個階段。第一個階段是1963 年至2008 年,星雲大師八次印度朝聖之旅,逐漸堅定了人間佛教回傳印度的決心,而大師及其徒眾對回傳途徑和方式的探索亦初見成效,由此形成初步的回傳方案。第二個階段以2008 年德里文教中心的成立為標誌,人間佛教回傳印度,進入建寺辦學、慈善義診、文化交流,以及協調在全印度的弘法之深耕階段,人間佛教的本土化於此展開。
