| Abstract | When Humanistic Buddhism is being brought to a new country, inevitably, it will change and adapt to the needs of the local people. For Australia, it all began in 1989 when the first venerable was sent to Australia with a mission to build a temple at Wollongong. Master Hsing Yun has the vision that within twenty to thirty years, the overseas FGS branch temples will be in charge by the local people of that country. As NTT is approaching its twentieth next year, it seems there is a gap between reality and Master Hsing Yun’s vision.
This thesis research hopes to achieve three purposes. One is to discuss the challenges for the ‘Western Australians’ that are currently volunteering and working at NTT. Two is to find out how will ‘Western Australians’ stay on to become ‘Long-term Devotees’. Three is to provide guidelines to localize Humanistic Buddhism for FGS branch temples in Australia with a focus on ‘Western Australians.’ In conclusion, I will make reference to Master Hsing Yun’s ‘Thirty-year plan’ of localization to evaluate NTT. |
