菩薩行的現代轉型 — 以星雲大師人間佛教理論實踐為中心的探討=The Transformation of Bodhisattva Practices in the Modern World: A Study on the Practices of Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s Humanistic Buddhism Teachings
The modernization of contemporary Buddhism is an important aspect of the thoughts and practices of the Humanistic Buddhism advocated by Venerable Master Hsing Yun. The modernization of Buddhism movement promoted by Venerable Master Hsing Yun and Fo Guang Shan has influenced the traditional Buddhist community. It has effectively spread and transformed Buddhism in contemporary society. The practice of the modernization of contemporary Buddhism has four main aspects. First, to transform traditional Buddhism, separated and isolated from the public, into a Buddhist faith that is practiced in daily living. Second, to interpret the doctrines of traditional Buddhism too profound and difficult to understand into common and simple words. Therefore, Buddhist doctrines can be accessible and accepted. Third, to reform the constricted systems of education in traditional Buddhism, making them open and modern. Fourth, to promote and practice the equal rights of men and women in response to gender discrimination existing within traditional Buddhism. The modernization of contemporary Buddhism advocated by Master Hsing Yun and Fo Guang Shan provides an effective exploration of how Buddhism can be successfully transmitted and influential in modern society.
