佛光山對佛教心理學的貢獻
A Review of Fo Guang Shan's Contributions in Buddhist Psychology
摘要
「以出世思想，做入世事業」乃星雲大師提倡的人間佛教精神。據星雲大師所說：「佛教在人間最大的意義，應該是要能解決社會人生的問題」。現代人生活節奏緊張，各方面而來的壓力沉重。要造福社會民生，心理問題的關懷就成為了不可忽視之任務。佛光山近年來在佛教心理學的工作和貢獻是有目共睹的。在教育事業上，佛光山在美國開辦的西來大學曾設立「佛教心理學暨諮商研究中心」，並發行《佛教心理學暨諮商研究中心期刊》以推動相關研究。西來大學至今仍然提供可選修佛教心理學範疇的心理學碩士學位，為學界和社會培訓專業人才。在出版事業上，佛光文化出版了不少有關佛教心理學的專門性論著，如陳兵的《佛教心理學》、依昱法師的《與心對話》和《知心．明心》、永有法師的《心事知多少》等。在社區教育上，佛光山亦致力推動民眾的心理健康。佛光山以社區大學和人間大學之名，開辦了不少能促進參與人士心理健康之課程。例如，在臺中市光大社區大學就有「桌遊與心智療癒」、「潛意識溝通初級－自我覺察」和「禪修與生活」等課程；彰化社區大學亦有開設「生死教育」、「正念靜坐～禪悅人生」的課；博愛社區大學也有開辦「悲傷輔導導論」的課。可見佛光山在佛教心理學的工作上可謂貢獻良多。本文旨在對佛光山在這方面之現今發展狀況及貢獻做出有系統的回顧和整理，並據回顧所得為未來的發展提出建議。

Venerable Master Hsing Yun's teachings emphasize ＂go some place else＂ to find enlightenment (paradise) is not needed, for we can realize our true nature right here and now, within this precious human birth and this world. According to one of his keynote speeches in 1992 on the topic of ＂Joy and Harmony＂, Master Hsing Yun said that ＂The Buddhist teachings do not instruct that suffering and unhappiness are all there is to experience in this world; on the contrary, Buddhism attempts to guide us along the path of liberation and happiness＂. With such belief, Fo Guang Shan has great contributions in the field of Buddhist Psychology, especially in educating the society about mindfulness, stress reduction, life & death education etc. Apart from that, Fo Guang Shan also encourages the advance of Buddhist Psychology in the academia. For instance, in the University of The West which is founded by Fo Guang Shan, we can see that it provides a graduate programme in Psychology. In the description of that programme, it was written clearly that ＂the program focuses on the intersection between Buddhist psychology and Western multicultural and recovery-oriented evidence-based practice in helping individuals, couples, families, and groups＂. The University of the West once launched a research institute called Buddhist Psychology and Counseling Research Center (BPCRC) focusing on relevant research. In fact, we can see that Fo Guang Shan contributes to the popularization and advancement of Buddhist Psychology in many different ways, for example through community works, education, publication and research etc. This article intends to review Fo Guang Shan's contributions in Buddhist Psychology, explain the reasons why it succeeds, and give suggestions for its further development.
