論星雲大師戲劇觀及其對發揚人間佛教的意義

《人間佛教小叢書》（一九一）〈我對戲劇的淺識〉一文，星雲大師談述兒時在家鄉看戲經驗，已與戲劇結下因緣，從中獲得許多忠孝節義的道理，累積了常識與知識，並讓他從佛教戲劇理解到佛教必須通俗化的重要性。本研究即以本篇內容為核心，剖析大師的戲劇觀及其實踐之道，理解他對於中國戲曲文化的熱愛與重視原因為何，進而梳理大師如何運用戲劇特質，延伸到自己對佛教通俗化的傳播理念。

The essay ''My Superficial Understanding of Drama'' in the book ''Humanistic Buddhism Series'' (No. 191) discusses Venerable Master Hsing Yun's childhood experiences of watching dramas in his hometown, which led to his affinity with drama. He gained many insights into loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness from dramas, accumulating common sense and knowledge. This experience also helped him understand the importance of popularizing Buddhism through drama. This study focuses on this essay to analyze the Master's views on drama and his practical approach, to understand the reasons for his passion for and emphasis on Chinese opera culture, and to examine how the Master extends the characteristics of drama to his own concept of popularizing Buddhism.
