摘要
此拙文仍筆者探討日治時代，臺、閩佛教互動的一環，因太虛、圓瑛二師，是近代中國佛教改革派與保守派的代表人物，而在日本治臺時代，此二師分別於大正6年（1917）、12年（1923）來到臺灣。來臺的因緣與主持法會、傳戒有關，但來臺的動機、時間，由於太虛大師本身有〈太虛自傳〉、〈東瀛采真錄〉之作，我們可有明確的史料依據，但是圓瑛老和尚方面，雖有《圓瑛大師法彙》可作稽考，不過其中有關他的臺灣行，在確切的時間及動機方面，卻是呈模糊的現象，因此拙文，參考了該《法彙》外，從當時《南瀛佛教》、《臺灣日日新報》等的相關報導，來作探討。其結果，可以知道二師來臺的確切時間、動機，所接觸到的臺灣佛教界人物，還有其影響，同時也可了解大正6年時，二師的交誼還保持了自太虛大師十六歲天童寺受戒時，與時任糾察師的圓瑛老和尚結識以來，良好的關係。但隨著歲月的推移，二師交誼產生了變化，致使對近代中國佛教的改革及戰後對臺灣佛教界的影響很大，不可莫視，但此相關問題，將留待日後發表，敬請讀者見諒。

In this article I explore the Buddhist interaction between Taiwan and Fujian during the period of Japanese rule. Masters Taixu and Yuanying represent positions of reform and conservativism respectively in contemporary Chinese Buddhism. These two masters came to Taiwan in 1917 and 1923 respectively, while Taiwan was under Japanese rule. Once in Taiwan, they led Buddhist services and transmitted precepts. Because Ven. Taixu has written an autobiography and Dongying caizhenlu (Records of eastern travels), works which provide us with clear historical information, we can know for certain the motivations and dates of his trip. However, in the case of Ven. Yuanying, although we have his collected writings (Yuanying dashi fahui) to refer to, there is no clear information regarding the precise time and motivation of his trip to Taiwan. Therefore, in addition to referring to his collected writings, I also refer to the magazine Nanying Fojiao (South Seas Buddhist Magazine) and Taiwan riri xinbao for my investigation. As a result, it is possible to determine the correct times and motivations of their trips, the Buddhists in Taiwan with whom they had contact, and their influence in Taiwan. Additionally, it is possible to see that in 1917, the two masters already had a long-lasting friendship, established when Ven. Taixu received his precepts in Tiantong si at age 16 and Ven. Yuanying held the position of supervision master. However, as the years went by, their friendship shifted, to the extent that it had a large influence on the reforms of contemporary Chinese Buddhism and on the development of post-war Taiwan Buddhism. However, these issues must be saved for future publication.
