星雲大師(1927-2023)與玉琳國師(1614-1675)同為臨濟宗法脈傳人。星雲大師於1954年出版《玉琳國師》傳記小說;中視於1992年改編為33集戲劇《再世情緣》,應用現代大眾傳媒,循循善誘眾生安住無上佛法。因果輪迴,文本分析,故事主軸為前世今生情緣,化私愛為大愛。解脫愛執名利,了悟生死業海,見性成佛。大乘菩薩道善權方便法門,審其根機,應病與藥,不執不離。緣理斷九,非究竟義。《維摩詰經》除病不除法,《妙法蓮華經》開權顯實,不斷斷,究竟義圓教。自覺覺他,以出世之心行入世之事,弘法利生。星雲大師於《再世情緣》說:「玉琳國師是清朝初年,帝王和全國民眾的老師。現在以電視劇演出,主要的目的,就是為了匡正社會人心,增加人間道德勇氣。」實踐人間佛教。
