摘要

星雲大師依循「現代化」的模式推動「人間佛教」，期望建設「人間淨土」，但並沒有因此否定傳統的淨土思想。星雲大師根據佛陀的聖言量，在弘法過程中運用現代化語言詮釋淨土思想：一是以現實人生遭遇的苦難、困境，反襯極樂世界的依正莊嚴；二是揀擇現代人所熟悉的「環保」、「管理」的概念，譬喻阿彌陀佛施設淨土的誓願恩德。星雲大師更進一步以「極樂淨土」作為「人間淨土」的藍圖，提出在人間建設淨土的實踐原則，同時建構「佛光淨土」作為具體實踐。

Venerable Master Hsing Yun follows the model of ＂modernity＂ to promote Humanistic Buddhism. He hopes to build a Pure Land on earth, however, without denying the traditional Pure Land thoughts. Abiding by the Buddha's teachings, Venerable Master Hsing Yun uses modern languages to interpret Pure Land thoughts. Firstly, Venerable Master Hsing Yun contrasts real life experiences of suffering and adversity to the solemnity of the Western Pure Land. Secondly, Venerable Master Hsing Yun selects commonly known concepts such as ＂environmentally friendly＂ and ＂management＂ to metaphorically represent the Amitabha Buddha's vows and merits in establishing Pure Land. Furthermore, Venerable Master Hsing Yun uses ＂Western Pure Land＂ as the blueprint for ＂Pure Land on earth＂, giving some practical guidelines for establishing Pure Land and at the same time, creating ＂Fo Guang Pure Land＂ as a concrete practice.
