摘要

19世紀以降，中國長期處於內憂外患中，時局動盪，民不聊生。許多中國人遠赴南洋另覓生機，終而定居海外。海外華人，特別是馬來西亞華人，從不忘自身的語言、文化、信仰、漢傳佛教由斯因緣在馬來西亞紮根、發展。民國初期，有太虛大師首倡人生佛教、人間佛教等理念以改革傳統佛教之陋弊，影響所及，繼而有印順、星雲、聖嚴、證嚴等法師對人間佛教理念而發揚。但人間佛教理念的弘揚，在馬來西亞並不顯著。星雲大師與馬來西亞佛教有深厚因緣，對馬來西亞佛教發展影響深遠。60年代，大師之文字弘揚佛法，其著述深受馬來西亞佛教信眾所喜愛；80年代，其所提倡的人間佛教理念對馬來西亞佛教青年總會多所啟發，奠定馬佛青的初期發展；90年代，大師進行全國巡迴弘法，在馬來西亞深耕其人間佛教理念；至因緣成熟，佛光山在馬來西亞開始創建道場及成立佛光協會，正式展開其人間佛教理念下的四大佛教事業，即：以教育培養人才、以文化宏揚佛法、以共修淨化人心、以慈善福利社會。本文主要探討星雲大師與馬來西亞佛教的殊勝因緣，進而敘述星雲大師人間佛教理念在馬來西亞的推展及實踐過程，終而歸納出星雲大師人間佛教理念對馬來西亞社會所產生的影響力。
