《Reading》

is a joy, and delving deeply into the Buddhist scriptures is the finest way for sentient beings to personally savor the nectar of the Dharma. Through sharing and discussion with fellow members of the reading group, we broaden the horizons of the Buddha’s teachings.
With the Dharma in our lives, we find peace and ease; with the Dharma in society, we cultivate respect and inclusiveness; and only with the Dharma in the world can there be true peace, free from conflict.

To uphold Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s idea of incorporating reading into our daily life, Humanistic Buddhist Reading Associations oblige Buddhists to pick up Buddhist sutras. The gradual and step by step process helps uncover the truth within Buddhism. It creates enduring learning through different life stages. The group discussions also bring forth the wisdom of collective creation and enhance our religious belief.

“Reading” is an enjoyment. Studying the sutras is the best way to learn Buddhism. Through discussions, we open up the dimensions of Buddhism. With Buddhism, life will be harmonious and free. With Buddhism, society will have respect and tolerance. With Buddhism, the world will be peaceful.Hence, “incorporating reading into our daily life” is not only the mission of Humanistic Buddhist Reading Associations, but also the responsibility of all.

人間佛教讀書會簡介

人間佛教讀書會秉持 星雲大師《生活書香化》的理念,使佛弟子拾起佛教的經典,循序漸進地在佛法中找到斷惑證真的根本依據,為自己在不同階段的人生課題,創造終身學習的場域.並從對話反省中激發出集體創作的智慧,使提昇宗教信仰的生命層次。

《讀書》是一種享受,《深入經藏》更是讓眾生親嚐醍醐法味的最佳管道.在與讀書會友們交流討論中,開拓佛法的向度.人生有了佛法就能祥和自在,社會有了佛法就能尊重包容,世界有了佛法才能和平無爭。 也因此,致力於《生活書香化》的理想,不僅是《人間佛教讀書會》的使命,更是所有大眾視之為責無旁貸的努力目標。

宗旨

人間佛教讀書會」成立宗旨乃為提倡書香人間,推動全球閱讀風氣,本著「學海無涯、學無止盡」的認知,養成「活到老、學到老」的精神與習慣。透過彼此相互勉勵,共同追求佛法精神食糧,以提昇社會和諧,促進人間和平與美滿。

緣起

星雲大師開創佛光山時,即訂定「以文化弘揚佛法,以教育培養人才,以慈善福利社會,以共修淨化人心」為佛光山的四大宗旨。其中文化、教育更是佛光山推動「人間佛教」理念的重要內涵。

數十年來,信眾多以聽講作為學習的管道,但是,真正能夠以自主性取代被動性的學習方式,應該是人人皆可發言的平等式學習。因此2001年在南非所舉辦「國際佛光會理監事會議」中,呼籲佛教應該朝四個弘化方向而努力:「寺院本土化、佛法生活化、僧信平等化、生活書香化」。為了更具體落實「生活書香化」的理想,大師更於2002年元旦正式成立「人間佛教讀書會」,透過計畫性的組織,期望展開全球性的讀書風氣,並將「生活書香化」視為「終身學習」的最佳途徑。
