Humanistic Buddhism: A History of the Future A Report on the “Holding True to the Original Intents of Buddha” Panel
The annual Fo Guang Shan Monastic Seminar, held at Fo Guang Shan Headquarters in Taiwan, serves the purpose of reinforcing its 1,200 members’ grasp of the Order’s philosophy and spirit of Humanistic Buddhism, strengthening intercontinental networking, as well as participation in strategic planning of the Order’s global developments.
Transcending Borders: Using Regional and Ethnographic Studies to Envision the Future of Humanistic Buddhism
Arizona is a region where the population of Chinese Buddhists is low and the general populations of both Asian-Americans and Buddhists are small. Thus Buddhist communities find themselves not only distant from large centers of Buddhism in California, but also isolated from each other. A study of two very different approaches to Buddhism in Arizona may shed light on the future of Humanistic Buddhism (literally “Buddhism in the midst of people”) in similarly sparsely- populated regions of the United States.
從利他主義的演化看人間佛教與人類的未來
時下對未來學(futurology)的討論,往往集中在科技革命對人類未來的影響,例如生物科技革命有可能衍生出來的「後人類的未來」(posthuman future)。然而,最先引起公眾對未來學廣泛關注的是1972出版的《增長的極限》(Limits to Growth)。該份研究報告由羅馬俱樂部(Club of Rome)負責草擬,其中最具影響力的觀點是,經濟增長需要消耗天然資源,而天然資源是有限的,因此經濟不可能毫無限制地增長,人類須要思考可持續發展作為出路。羅馬俱樂部成員補充說,雖然很多極限都是真實的,但這些極限可能永遠達不到,因為在達到這些極限之前,還會有很多的阻礙或限制,例如經濟、社會、文化和政治,最後還有那在人性內的限制。
