抄録 | This paper delves into the expansive growth of Tzu Chi, a lay Buddhist movement, illuminating its evolution from a Taiwan-based initiative to a global humanitarian force. Focusing particularly on its engagement in Europe, it explores how this movement navigates cultural pluralism while integrating Buddhist principles into its humanitarian missions. Tzu Chi's journey unfolds as it transcends ethnic borders, propelled by a unique blend of Buddhist cosmopolitanism and humanitarian fervour. This exploration charts its inception in Taiwan, examining pivotal moments like the lifting of Martial Law and subsequent global outreach, marking a shift from relief funding to direct involvement in disaster-stricken regions. Central to Tzu Chi's ethos is its distinctive approach to global outreach, emphasizing humanitarian work devoid of traditional missionary aims. However, through a nuanced lens, this paper uncovers the subtle yet impactful ways in which Tzu Chi integrates nonmembers into its network, utilising disaster relief projects and a range of cultural activities. The paper contends that Tzu Chi's humanitarian engagements, often viewed as secular contributions, are intricately tied to its religious identity, and can be seen as a form of proselytization, exemplified by its disaster relief initiatives in Poland amid the Ukrainian crisis. Furthermore, the paper challenges prevailing notions that Tzu Chi operates as a purely secular humanitarian organization, disputing claims that it distances itself from traditional Buddhist practices. Instead, it posits that Tzu Chi's emphasis on compassionate deeds represents a distinct form of religious practice, challenging the conventional understanding of proselytization within the movement. In dissecting Tzu Chi's multifaceted activities in Europe, from language courses to cultural events, the study highlights how the movement legitimizes its presence based on civic engagements rather than rigid religious doctrines. Through case studies of key individuals instrumental in Tzu Chi's European expansion, the research illustrates the interconnectedness between migrants, cultural contexts, and the movement's growth. It delves into the motivations behind Tzu Chi's rapid global expansion, attributing it to a confluence of factors including globalised events, economic prosperity, and Buddhist universalism. Ultimately, this paper sheds light on Tzu Chi's cosmopolitan identity, exploring its ability to bridge cultural differences and foster cooperation through discursive strategies. It challenges established perceptions, revealing the intricacies of Tzu Chi's global outreach, and how it subtly but effectively integrates Buddhist principles into its humanitarian endeavours, shaping a unique form of global engagement that transcends traditional boundaries of religion and culture.
本文深入探討在台灣發起的慈濟居士佛教運動,揭示了它從一個以台灣為基礎的地方組織成為全球人道主義力量的演變,並聚焦在他在歐洲的社會參與,探討了這個運動如何在整合佛教原則到其人道主義任務中接受和參與文化多元主義。在佛教世界主義人道主義熱情的獨特融合推動下,慈濟跨越種族群和國家界線。本文討論慈濟在臺灣的發展歷程,檢視其關鍵時刻,如1987年解除戒嚴法令和隨後的全球擴張,標註著慈濟從提供救援資金轉向直接參與災區的轉變。慈濟的核心理念是其獨特的全球擴展方式,雖然慈濟本身和許多前輩學者強調其人道工作不涉及傳統的傳教目的,但是本文試圖論證慈濟如何透過災難救援項目和各種文化活動,將非成員納入其全球網絡。本文主張,慈濟的人道參與與災難救援,雖然常被視為世俗貢獻,卻與其宗教身分緊密相連,因此可以視為一種獨一無二的傳教形式,如其在烏克蘭危機中在波蘭展開的災難救援活動所體現的。因此本文挑戰了慈濟作為一個純粹世俗人道主義組織,相反,文中提出慈濟對在人間落實慈悲的強調代表了一種獨特的宗教實踐形式,使得我們重新思考何謂傳教。在分析慈濟在歐洲的多元活動,從語言課程到文化活動,本研究突顯了該運動如何基於公民參與而非嚴格的宗教教義來合法化其存在。透過慈濟歐洲擴展中起關鍵作用的個別案例研究,本研究展示了移民、文化背景和運動增長之間的相互聯繫,而探討慈濟迅速全球擴張的動機,歸因於包括全球化事件、經濟繁榮和佛教普遍主義在內的多種因素的匯合。最終,本文揭示了慈濟的世界性身份,探索了其透過論述策略在文化差異之間架起橋樑並促進合作的能力,形成一種超越傳統宗教和文化界限的獨特全球參與形式。 |
