摘要

青年時期的星雲大師，於1952年12月起，針對六位不同佛教知識青年面臨的問題，連續發表六封鼓勵、勸勉的信（簡稱「青年六書」）。「青年六書」以真人實事的方式，直指知識青年的問題，以及長久以來社會對佛教的誤解，傳達了佛法的正知見，與同時期的《無聲息的歌唱》在語體上雖不同，但指出佛教青年的重要與改革佛教的理念，頗有異曲同工之妙。

並列摘要

Starting in December 1952, a young Venerable Master Hsing Yun published six encouraging letters of advice to six young Buddhists addressing the challenges and issues encountered in their lives. The letters were thereafter referred to as the Six Letters to Youths. Through anecdotes, the six letters dealt directly with the problems faced by educated youths in their lives, as well as some misunderstandings that society has had about Buddhism for a long time. The letters delivered information on what the right perspectives and right views of Buddhists should be. Although the writing style of these letters is different from his contemporary work, Bells, Gongs and Wooden Fish, both have shown significant similarity in their advocacy of the importance of Buddhist youths and the concept of Buddhist reform.
