| Abstract | In 2,600 years, Buddhism has developed and spread to many countries in Asia, the United States, and Europe. Yet from the Buddha’s time until now, the roles, capabilities, and potential of nuns have not yet received proper recognition. Recently, however, influenced and nourished by different cultures and philosophies, a wide range of ideas regarding women’s roles in Buddhism are being discussed.
As a Buddhist nun, I will limit my discussion to the monastic communities of Taiwan. Compared with other areas in the world, Buddhist nuns in Taiwan are treated with due respect and equality. In such favorable conditions, nuns in Taiwan have actively engaged in the academic study of Buddhism, research, monastic education, Buddhist art and architecture, charity work, disaster relief, and many other activities. Their achievements in these areas have received public recognition in Taiwan and throughout the world.
This paper is a general introduction to the endeavors of nuns in these various areas. A few examples of work in each area will be cited and discussed. The Dharma Drum Mountain Sangha, a representative group, will be used to illustrate the success of nuns’ roles in the monastic community and their active engagement in society.
With the growing number of women practitioners in the world, the need for women teachers and proper guidance for women practitioners has increased rapidly. By sharing examples of nuns’ successes, I hope to encourage women to continue their efforts. I will suggest that women’s roles and potential can be reviewed and given new meaning in the modern world.
2600年以來，佛教發揚流傳遍及亞洲、美國和歐洲許多國家。然而，從佛陀的時代到現在，比丘尼的角色、才能和潛力却未曾得到真正的認可。然而，由於近來受到不同文化和哲學理念的影響及支持，各種關於佛教婦女角色的觀念引起廣泛的討論。
身為比丘尼，筆者將從臺灣僧團的角度來論述比丘尼的角色。與其他世界國家相較，台灣的比丘尼眾受到應有的尊重與平等對待。在如此有利的條件下，台灣的比丘尼眾積極地投入佛教學院進修、研究、佛學教育、佛教藝術與建築、慈善工作、救災慰藉及其他許多活動。她們在這些領域的成就，獲得台灣與全球人士們一致的好評。
本文概略敘述這些不同領域比丘尼眾的努力奉獻，並引用和討論各種領域中的幾個例子，例如法鼓山僧伽大學，一個代表性僧團，其比丘尼眾角色在僧團裡的成功及她們對社會的積極參與。
隨著世界上女眾修行者的與日遽增，她們也需要更多在修行上的女教師與合適的指導。藉由分享比丘尼眾成功的例子，筆者希望能鼓勵女性們繼續努力。筆者建議在現代世界中，能夠重新檢視女性的角色和潛能並賦予新的意義。 |
