星雲大師領導的佛光僧團，在佛教歷史上可說大放異彩，入世革新的迅猛發展，對佛教形象的轉型深具推波助瀾之力。尤其星雲大師關注時代脈動，將宗風思想接續傳統佛制精神，又使戒律規範跳脫窠臼限制，讓僧團具有融合新興的積極動力。〈怎樣做個佛光人〉集結星雲大師領導僧團的方針綱要，透過十八講的探討，不僅綜觀星雲大師思想發展大勢，也可了解領導者制定宗趣背後，對佛教治病救弊的實際目的。 本文將〈怎樣做個佛光人〉溯源回太虛大師的思想啟蒙，且聚焦於台灣佛教歷經弊惡腐敗的危害後，星雲大師如何提出批判建設兼備的理念，詮釋出根本五戒的一股新意，以〈怎樣做個佛光人〉走出人間佛教戒律觀的現代化道路，不僅建立應世合宜的新體制，亦使佛教得以嶄新面貌重盛於世。因此本文欲從〈怎樣做個佛光人〉的探討，證明星雲大師於理論、行動上，確實深刻有力地改善社會。 半世紀以來，星雲大師所領導的佛光僧團，成功地催化了台灣佛教的轉型，並且擴大了佛教普及入世的層面，故本文依〈怎樣做個佛光人〉的脈絡，分析星雲大師戒律觀新見解，從戒法行事、僧信共修、宗風制度等角度觀察，探討制度領導的佛光僧團，在台灣佛教史上不可忽視的歷史變革意義，以做為未來研究之參考。 Fo Guang Sangha, led by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, fosters a strong movement to change the negative impression that some people has held on Buddhism. It is a matter of great concern for Venerable Master Hsing Yun as to how a platform allowing renewal of the Buddhism can be established for the joint promotion of Buddhist spirit and the society. The“Eighteen Lectures for Fo Guang Shan Community” provides a good overview of Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s main ideas. Moreover, it also serves as the underlying principle that sustains the growth of Fo Guang Shan Sangha. Five precepts, the very fundamental elements of Buddhism, ensure the stability of sangha. Buddhism, a religion undergoing unceasing changes, relies on precepts to constitute a harmonized community. Therefore, focus will be placed on how Venerable Master Hsing Yun reinterprets the five fundamental precepts and modernizes the precepts for Humanistic Buddhism. Then the followed-up discussion would center mainly on the content of the“Eighteen Lectures for Fo Guang Shan Community” and its attempt to reform Buddhism. Hopefully a basis could be built to explore the efforts that Venerable Master Hsing Yun has made for the modernizing precepts in present days. From the“Eighteen Lectures for Fo Guang Shan Community”, encouragements to uphold the traditional precepts, participate the public affairs and value the equanimity between monastics and laypeople are highly emphasized. Venerable Master Hsing Yun generates Buddhists’ awareness on the issue of Buddhism’s future. The“Eighteen Lectures for Fo Guang Shan Community” could be a suggested solution to reach the consensus among Buddhists to create a systematic framework for sustainable development.
