| Abstract | 台灣民間宗教活動興盛，宮廟進香朝聖頻繁的背景下，神明聯誼會的開創，打破人們到廟宇進香的交流模式，眾神尊、各大宮廟、甚至不同宗教信徒、主委前往佛陀紀念館展開聯誼，帶動本土宗教神尊、神佛交流聯誼的效應。如何理解佛教團體所舉辦的神明交流活動？
本文從人對神佛進香朝山的宗教行為、廟會儀式活動與神明聯誼會比對，進一步了解神明聯誼會與民間信仰活動內容與物象意涵的異同。交流型態上，呈現民間信仰參訪交流的進香會香，內涵上則有佛教朝山的淨化、向上學習，展現恭敬之意。在神明進場儀式中，將神祇的信仰回歸到自我信仰及對他人信仰的尊重與包容。活動時間上，重新詮釋「12月25日」「西方」「聖誕節」的意涵，創造東方聖誕節、眾神同慶，展現人、神、佛同歡慶的熱鬧場面。把「致贈佛祖旗」、「為神明掛佛祖金牌」、「送神明過爐回鑾」在意涵上做轉化提升。
因此，本研究主要探討星雲大師如何以人間佛教的脈絡，詮釋出「神明聯誼會」的宗教意涵？並從節慶、廟會、聖誕、繞境等概念，以及活動流程、宗教儀式、活動物象的文化象徵、活動舉辦的節慶時間、空間營造，對照「佛教的神明聯誼會」與「民間信仰的進香」兩者異同處，從中分析「神明聯誼會」的活動特色與精神意涵。
「神明聯誼會」在星雲大師「尊重與包容」的理念下，在活動的設計展現人間佛教對傳統民間信仰的開放融合；在「同中存異，異中求同」的理念下，不但帶動了人與人、佛菩薩與神衹、佛教與民間信仰甚至宗教間的大型聯誼，透過人們實地展開參訪交流，展示人們信仰的虔誠恭敬，引發人們對不同信仰的包容尊重，實踐宗教間的融合交流；並發揮佛教化世導俗的根本精神，透過交流互動，彼此提升，展開宗教在人心、場域的無形教化。
Under the background of Taiwan’s prosperous folk religion and the frequency of going to the temple to offer incense and praying to gods and deities, the creation of the “When Buddha Meets the Gods Event” break the usual religious mode of communication where people offer incense in temples. Many different gods and deities, temple associations, and even devotees of different religions as well as committee members gather in the Buddha Museum, leading the effect of interactions between local folk deities and Buddha. How can a Buddhist organization-founded event on gods and deities be understood?
This dissertation will look at religious activities such as incense offering to gods and deities, pilgrimages, and temple ceremony and compare it with the “When Buddha Meets the Gods Event” in order to understand the differences and similarities between the content and meaning of iconology of the event and folk religions. The interactions presented in the event contains traditional way that folk religion pay respects through its activity, as well as Buddhist traditions such as the purification process of pilgrimage, constant learning and improvement as forms of paying respect. Through the entrance of the gods and deities, it transforms folk beliefs into self-belief and confidence, as well as respect and tolerance between religions. As for the time and date of the event, it gives “December 25”, the “Western” celebration of “Christmas” a new meaning, creating an Eastern Christmas (or Day of the Birth of Saint) where gods and deities are celebrated together, creating an exciting day where human, deities and Buddha celebrate in a single event. The activities of “Awarding the Buddha Flag”, “Offering Gold Buddha Medal to the Gods and Deities” and “Sending Off the Deities through the Incense Burner” transform and improve on the traditional meaning of the activities.
The goal of this dissertation is to research how Venerable Master Hsing Yun uses the concepts of Humanistic Buddhism to interpret the religious meaning behind “When Buddha Meets the Gods Event”. This dissertation will also analyze the features and spirit of “When Buddha Meets the Gods Event” by first looking at the concepts of festivals, temple ceremonies, deities’ birthday. Next, the dissertation will look at religious ceremony, cultural significance of living iconography, festival time and date, and the use of space.in search for similarities and differences between “When Buddha Meets the Gods Event” and the tradition of incense offering in folk religions.
Under Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s idea of “Respect and Tolerance”, the design of “When Buddha Meets the Gods Event” presents Humanistic Buddhism’s openness and integration towards traditional folk religions. With the ideology of “accepting differences in togetherness”, the event brings people, Buddha, bodhisattvas, and deities together into a big religious festival. Through practical interactions between religions, it presents people’s respect and devotion towards their faith, and more importantly respect and tolerance towards other religions. These interactions and communications allow religions and people to understand each other, thus exhibiting Buddhism’s original spirit of Buddhism of transforming so |
