摘要

本文主要以星雲大師所倡導之人間佛教，其中有關禪教之詮解，如對於《六祖壇經》、《妙法蓮華經》乃至《維摩詰經》之詮釋與闡明，以論析星雲大師所開展之人間佛教與傳統佛教義理之關係。亦即依星雲大師所提倡之「解在一切佛法，行在禪淨共修」之脈絡，首先從禪的不可說到星雲大師對於禪的詮解，來對照彰顯大師說禪所具的開權顯實特性；其次則是溯源法華經教之慈悲度化、善巧方便與大師之「四給」的關聯，以具體闡述星雲大師人間佛教與傳統佛教之間蘊含了從本垂跡的關係。再其次則以星雲大師最喜歡的維摩詰居士，具體而微地呈現星雲大師在當今社會中推行佛教在人間的自行與化他。本文期盼藉由上述幾個面向之論析，得以具體勾勒星雲大師承續傳統佛教，繼而開展出人間佛教，更進而堅信「人間佛教是佛教未來的光明和希望」的理路脈絡。

This paper references Humanistic Buddhism as advocated by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, notably his interpretations and elucidations of Chan teachings in the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch, Lotus Sutra, and Vimalakīrti Sūtra as examples. This paper discusses and analyzes the relationship between Humanistic Buddhism and the doctrines of traditional Buddhism. Namely, Venerable Master's idea of ＂understanding attained through the Dharma, practices accomplished through Chan and Pure Land.＂ The following aspects are explored: Firstly, from the ineffable Chan to Venerable Master's interpretations of Chan, to reflect on Venerable Master's Chan interpretation as one that embodies expedient teachings to reveal the truth. Secondly, and practically, to elaborate the resemblant traits between Humanistic Buddhism and traditional Buddhism by connecting Venerable Master's Four Givings with the compassionate guidance and expedient means originating from the Lotus Sutra. Thirdly, with reference to Venerable Master's favorite lay practitioner, Vimalakīrti, to effectively show how Venerable Master propagates Buddhism in contemporary society in terms of self-practice and liberating others. Lastly, to specifically outline Venerable Master's inheritance of traditional Buddhism, and subsequent development of Humanistic Buddhism that affirms the belief that ＂Humanistic Buddhism is the light and hope for the future of Buddhism.＂
