摘要：敦煌資料曾經大幅改寫學界對於佛教發展歷史的認識，古寫經讓我們發現佛教版本與內容的種種異同。近年來明清佛教文獻大量出土，讓我們對近世佛教的發展樣態有了更為清楚的認識。例如《賢首宗乘》、《賢首傳燈錄》、《華嚴宗佛祖傳》等宗派傳承史料的發現，可以廓清中國佛教宗派的諸多雲霧。

摘要：「正念現前」與「一心不亂」的功夫，其實是共通於「世間法」及「出世間法」兩方面的，同時也包含「靜態」與「動態」的功夫。我們不論是在日常生活當中，希望能夠身心康寧，或者從事各行各業時，要能夠有所成就「所作皆辦」，甚至於當我們面臨即將往生的情境時，希望能夠「生死自在」，「正念現前」與「一心不亂」的功夫是不可或缺的。

摘要：佛教中國化包含了思想觀念層面、制度層面及信仰實踐層面的中國化轉變。長期以來，中國佛教學術界對「佛教中國化」的研究興趣主要集中在佛教義理、思想觀念及佛教叢林制度層面的中國化轉變，但對於佛教在最廣大的中國底層民眾間的生活化、民俗化、倫理化的發展，則沒有很好地進入到「佛教中國化」的研究視野中。事實上，民間文化以及民間的政治倫理秩序對待佛教的理解與取捨態度迥異於佛教知識份子所理解與信仰的方式。

Abstract：Buddhism has developed pilgrimage patterns that relate to both fixed and immovable sites as well as establishing new places of spiritual power. These varied practices influenced the way in which art, architecture, and monastic life developed. Today, pilgrims flock to Buddhist localities that mark the events of the life of Sakyamuni in India. At the same time more recent local spots attract pilgrims in every nation of Asia, especially China. The process by which sacrality is moved and expanded is a major aspect of how Buddhism developed and spread over past centuries.

Abstract: One of the world’s largest pilgrimage patterns is found in reference to the Four Sacred Mountains. The number of participants who visit them each year rivals that of Mecca in Islam. The spiritual force behind the popularity of the mountain sites has been dependent on the concept of the “presence” of a major Bodhisattva on each of the peaks. Such veneration of Bodhisattvas is unique to these Chinese places. Understanding the nature of this massive pilgrimage network is essential for religious studies.
