| Abstract | 大乘佛教以利濟蒼生、救苦救難為標的，從事慈善濟世工作成為大乘佛法信仰實踐中重要的區塊。然慈善工作和宗教信仰雖存在互補作
用，但也潛藏一定的張力和兩難。本文嘗試以慈濟基金會為例，對佛教慈善事業作一「後設」（meta-）的反思，總括本文論述重點有二：第一，指出聖與俗間的兩難乃宗教慈善事業潛在之挑戰，並以慈濟基金會為例初探其如何面對此一課題，其中「善門入佛門」，即從慈善救助中進入佛教信仰，乃是證嚴法師心中的理想；第二，探討佛教慈善志業特點之建立，重點之一在於佛教人才的培養，之二在於重省及善用佛教理論模型的指引方針，使助於慈善工作的推動，如以權、實二門的辯證性觀點，以及世俗、勝義二諦圓融等的知見，來裨益於出世與入世、聖與俗等之間的平衡。
The main aim of Mahayana Buddhism is to release living beings from suffering. Engaging in charity work in order to be of service to others is therefore a calling for many present-day Mahayana Buddhist practitioners. Though there are complementing aspects between charity work and religious belief, there are also latent tensions and dilemmas. This article offers a meta-reflection on the charity mission of the Tzu Chi Foundation, following the two main points of the paper: First, I propose that the entanglement of holiness and worldliness is a common challenge for all religious charities; hence it is also a problem that the Tzu Chi Foundation could not escape. I then take a look at how the foundation has thus far dealt with and responded to the challenge. In this respect, Ven. Cheng Yen strives for the ideal of guiding others “from the door of charity to the door of Buddhism,” i.e. making Buddhist practice accessible through charitable activity. Secondly, I suggest the high-qualitied educations in monastic group will strengthen the development of Buddhist charity. Besides, the Buddhist philosophies may serve to solidify the characteristics of Buddhist charities and prevent a situation where charity workers simply follow the crowd. That is, a solid grounding in Buddhist theoretical models (such as the dialectics between upāya and uttara, and the coherence between the conventional truth and ultimate truth) not only serves as an impetus for promoting charity work, but further harmonizes the apparent polarities of sacredness and secularity, or the holy and the mundane. |
