Become a better person. become more understanding. understand causes and conditions. know our hearts.
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.

2015-06-21 ‧ 活動報導
「人間佛教經證－2015年人間佛教閱讀研討會」6月21日于佛光祖庭宜興大覺寺盛大舉行，吸引來自北京、廣州、山東、上海、南京、蘇州、連雲港、揚州、常州、無錫、宜興等地500多位讀書人共同體驗「閱讀經藏」的浩瀚法樂。其中大部分學員是老師、編輯、培訓師、公司經理等，大專以上程度占三分之一。課程安排也是豐富精彩，設有維摩詰經導讀、主題論壇、延伸閱讀等，帶給大眾一場別具一格的閱讀之旅。
上午，人間佛教讀書會執行長覺培法師利用表解，從當淨其心的「佛國品」到盡與無盡解脫法門的「菩薩行品」，一一向大家講解《維摩詰經》的法義，並通過例舉生活中的小公案，告訴大家佛法不離世間覺，學佛是看到世間的實相，饒益眾生、行菩薩道從發心開始。
下午的主題論壇「經典與人生」，由人間佛教讀書會副執行長彭桂芳主持，邀請覺培法師、妙士法師、程恭讓教授、劉建國醫師與談，就「分享閱讀《維摩詰經》中最精彩最精華之處、心淨則國土淨和人間佛教的關係、人間佛教出世與入世的不二法門、男眾與女眾在修道上的不同處、劉醫生面對病痛如何轉煩惱為菩提以及最受星雲大師啟發的地方」等問題做論述。講師們豐富的人生體驗與經典相結合，妙語如珠，現場掌聲四
最後由妙笙法師導讀《佛教對修行問題的看法》，並邀請強紅英、範家馜、周煥營、馮迪四位代表現場對答。本次研討會的內容豐富多元、深入淺出，與會大眾參與一場「經典與人生」之旅，個個法喜充滿，在惜別歌聲中滿載而歸。
