摘要

越南乞士佛教是越南佛教的大宗派之一，是将北传佛教和南传佛教的精粹融合而创立的。乞士佛教创立以后，明灯光祖师追随佛陀修道足迹，以持钵乞食法运用在乞士佛教的僧团生活与弘法方式中，成为乞士佛教的特殊教法。为了利益众生，乞士佛教以出家人的形象和威仪，及学习佛陀的那种无我利他的精神去持钵乞食，亲自体验大众的病苦，了解当地的社会问题，从而能更有效地选用佛法来帮助众生。实行乞食法，对出家人来说，是自我训练、学习、树立良好的形象，是个人修学、自我提升的过程，更是为了修道、证菩提及普度众生。

Mendicant Buddhism is one of the major sects in Vietnamese Buddhism, which consists of the essence of both North Buddhism and Southern Buddhism. Since the founding of Mendicant Buddhism, Master Minh Dang Quang (1923-1954) followed Buddha's teaching to use the begging bowl as a way of Sangha daily life to promote Buddhism. This is unique in Mendicant Buddhism. Through the process of the begging bowl practice, mendicants experienced the ordinary man's suffering and learned the local social illness, which is useful for them to choose appropriate dharma to serve the public. Begging bowl is a process for mendicants to establish Sangha image and the way of their spiritual improvement to attain enlightenment (Bodhi).
