摘要

「人間音緣」是佛光山佛教藝術弘傳事業中的一個獨創和一大特色，發展至今十分成功，令人矚目且印象深刻。佛光山「人間音緣」以當代流行的音樂來闡述佛法；將不同國家的文化與創意元素融合在一起，造成一股新的佛教音樂風潮，賦予佛教音樂嶄新的風貌；以陶冶性情、淨化心靈、修身養性、提升境界、勸人行善積德為宗旨。如此多元、豐富、適度創新的佛教音樂，具有很高的藝術價值和文化價值。本文擬在這一方面做感性的關注和初步探究，以具體的「人間音緣」歌曲為例，分析「人間音緣」如何體現佛光山「給人信心、給人歡喜、給人希望、給人方便」的精神理念。

The ＂Sounds of the Human World＂ music competition is one of the distinctive approaches by Fo Guang Shan to propagate Buddhist arts, and this has left a remarkable impression since the beginning of its development. By incorporating cultural elements and creativity from various countries, Fo Guang Shan's ＂Sounds of the Human World＂ spreads the Dharma through contemporary music genres and by giving songs a modern touch, thereby attracting interest in Buddhist music. Ideally, the objectives of these songs are to transform a person's temperament, to purify the mind, to promote self-cultivation, and to encourage good deeds. With such diversity and innovation, Buddhist music has achieved a new level of artistic and cultural value. With references to songs from the ＂Sounds of the Human World,＂ this paper is a perceptual and preliminary analysis on how the songs exemplify and reflect Fo Guang Shan's practice of Four Givings: ＂give others faith, give others joy, give others hope, and give others convenience.＂
