AbstractThe study aims to explore the essence of Fo Guang Humanistic Life Chan and its significance to individuals and society. It used the in-depth interview and participant observation to obtain the requisite information through the fifteen semi-structured questions. Fifteen questions, which were categorized into three groups- the personal background, attitude to meditation practice and to Fo Guang Chan, and the influence of meditation practice to individuals and to family and suggestions after activities, were designed in advance. Twenty interviewees were generally divided into two groups. The first group included the vice abbess and interviewees of Fu Shan Temple. The second group consisted of practitioners who have participated the Fo Guang Shan (FGS) Three-Day or Seven-Day Meditation Retreat and a staff at FGS Meditation Center. Fu Shan Temple was chosen because it has been awarded several times by Changhua Education Bureau for its remarkable achievement on developing the community education. DV, tape recorder and notes taking were all used during the interview. The interviewees’ answers were copied down word by word and all information was coded paragraph by paragraph.Regarding to the results, it was found the essence of Fo Guang Humanistic Life Chan is Humanistic Buddhism and emphasized the application of its teachings to the daily life. The results also showed that Fo Guang Humanistic Life Chan provided the method of self-actualization, enhanced individuals’ abilities of temper control and facilitated the family harmony. Its significance to society relied on the enhancement of the harmonious relationship with people.With the propagation through modern telecommunication and social education, Fo Guang Chan, inheriting and following the patriarchs’ teachings, hands down the teachings of Chan School and spreads it all over the world in a life-related and easily accepted way.

本研究目的旨在探究禪光人間生活禪本質,及了解其對個人及社會的重要性。本研究採取深度訪談及參與觀察法進行研究,並藉由半結構式問題設計以獲得所需的資料。 十五題訪談問題於正式訪談前先行設計,題目主要分為三大類:一、 個人背景資料;二、對佛光禪的修持態度及理解度;三、禪修對個人、家庭的影響及建議。二十位受訪者主要概分為兩大群,一為福山寺當家及福山寺社區大學禪修班學員;二為佛光山禪堂執事及參加三日或七日禪禪修者。選擇福山寺作為研究對象原因在於福山寺的社區大學,已多次獲得彰化教育局評鑑教學成效甲等,並在今年獲得優等殊榮。訪談時所使用的工具計有:DV, 錄音機及訪談筆記。訪談內容皆逐字打出,並以段落方式,每段依序編碼。研究結果顯示,佛光人間生活禪以人間佛教為本質,強調將禪法修行落實於日常生活中。研究結果同時發現,佛光人間生活禪對個人的重要性在於能提供個體自我實現的方法、增加個體自我脾氣控制能力及增進家庭和諧,而其對社會的貢獻則在於增進人與人之間的和諧關係。如今,佛光人間生活禪,承繼及遵循高僧大德的禪法,透過現代電子傳媒及結合社會教育方式進行傳播,使得禪宗思想得以更生活化、普及化的方式繼續流傳於全世界。
