邹丽英：众善奉行——佛教思想与企业的和谐发展

　　佛教思想的启发与企业家的积极态度

　　佛陀是为了解脱众生的痛苦这一因缘而出现于世。我们追求和平、崇尚和谐的传统，依法修持，济世利人，即是实践佛陀正法，也即是引导众善奉行。
取之社会，用之社会，如何与宗教事业并驾齐驱以构建一个和谐社会，乃无数企业单位或企业家们之所梦寐以求。

　　佛陀将布施列为「六度」与「四摄」之首。很多企业单位或企业家也非常清楚，施比受更有福的哲理。让弱势群体能得到救助，让社会各阶层共享社会财富增长的善举，是一项多么崇高而神圣的社会公益事业。

　　在一生辛劳之后，名成利就的企业家大多没有时间去探讨佛教教义中蕴含的思想资源。他们更希望以实际行动，以及以他们所累积的经验有效地回馈社会，在宏扬佛法中协助慈善事业。

　　能为弱势群体提供资金救助，扶贫安老，办医兴学，布施者也因心安理得而带来了精神上的莫大慰藉。在行善的过程中，慈善的实际行动成为净化人心的道德资源。因此，佛教的宣扬活动与慈善事业，也成为一种职责。它不仅是调剂社会贫富差距，而利世济贫的行动更是缓解社会矛盾的高效行动。

　　社会贫富悬殊容易导致一部分人心理失衡而诱发对社会的偏执态度。佛教的活动与慈善事业能让他们了解到贫穷者也有好心人在关心他们，这不但改变他们对社会的偏执看法，在佛法的熏陶下，人人也逐渐地诸恶莫作，众善奉行。

　　企业家的社会影响力与其管理模式之引用

　　目前佛教的全球活动开展并未普及，因欠乏有效率之宣传，使得佛教的理念和慈善行动未能深入人心。

　　基金是佛教事业的核心要素，也是组织的核心构成，借用各方热心慈善事业、具有一定经济实力和社会号召力的成员单位一起同心协力，建立互动管道，以便更多地吸引各层社会资源支持佛教事业，使其更多元化，国际化和全球化，以如此一个机制，可谓事倍功半。

　　部份佛教组织之工作仍没有足够的专人分管，兼职状态仍很普遍。因为运作的权责不清，效率有限，阻碍了佛法宣扬的开展。借取有效管理模式和资金运作的专业经验，无论区域性或国际性的佛法宣扬开展将获得更大的空间。

　　互动的和谐发展

　　佛教组织必须把社会当作共同的工作平台，企业界也应把佛教事业视为本份的职责，一起开拓创新，把佛法宣扬、慈善事业的发展与建设和谐社会结合起来，以积极、先进理念与时并进。

　　与此同时，佛教十恶十善的分野与认知，也被带入了企业的领域，成为运作中的优良文化。它将自然地散发于主管与下属之间，佛陀的智慧与慈悲，如法雨之洒落，在虚拟与欺诈充满的末法时代，人类的慈爱智商无形中被大幅度的提升了。

　　佛陀离世已相当久远，而衍生至今的佛教派别与传统不知几许！作为佛教界的一份子，必须认清我们所肩负的宗教道义。秉持着学佛的修养，保持平常心，让人容得下我，我亦容得下人。

　　我们应对各个传统、宗派有所了解，以客观态度去认识各个宗派的教义。如果只注重自己单一传统方式的学习与修行，对其他一无所知，就免不了产生对别人的误解，而执着地认为自己的传统光芒万丈，其它的就漆黑一片、这不是认识真理的修行态度。

　　世界上不同文化的芸芸众生，在他们所能认识的范围内，佛教，是柔性文化的生态。佛法，它拥有安宁的内心世界，所以，各方学禅之士慕名远道而来者不计其数。可知佛法浩瀚，正如百川汇海。

　　本着十共精神 (共存、共荣、共富、共乐、共谐、共觉、共有、共得、共福、共成)，互相平等；各宗派之间就不会有文明之间的孤芳自赏与蔑视异己、而是互相尊重、彼此愈加了解。佛教传统中的宗派教义尽可有异，此乃因时因事因人，各渡有缘，而诸法同源，无非都是在于共扬佛陀正法。

　　佛法，在构建和谐的进程中，蕴含着丰富的有关启示。佛教活动与企业界建立互相「合作关系」，利用各种信息管道弘扬佛教的理念，培育更多修行人士与更多志愿捐赠单位。这不仅是给予物质的救济了，它更塑造了人人乐善好施的人文社会，促进道德之文明建设。

　　我佛慈悲；希望藉由「世界佛教论坛」的因缘，把无缘大慈、同体大悲的意识种子播向世界每一众生的福田。

The Wholesome ：Buddhist Thought and Enterprises Harmonious Development

　　Awaking the Buddhism notion and interest within entrepreneurs

　　Buddha comes to this world to salvage and liberate mankind from suffering. We all yearn for a peaceful and harmonious society that goes along with the dharma of the Buddha. Helping others is one of the cultivation ways in accordance to the Buddha’s teaching.

　　The livelihood and proceeds harvested from the society, by right, should be returned to benefit the society. By having this understanding, there will be many entrepreneurs that would want to develop Buddhist social activities that will in turn create a harmony society.

　　When they have succeeded in establishing their businesses, these entrepreneurs would want to assist the society with tangible actions. They would like to share their experiences and their material gains, rather than waste their times in contemplating the Buddha’s dharma.

　　Those who help the poor, build schools and hospitals, and participate in social activities will definitely benefit from soul satisfaction and the purification of the mind. This is why Buddhist social activities have been regarded as one of the ways in carrying out the Buddha’s dharma, because these types of action are also a useful approach in overcoming the social gap.

　　Social gap constantly decays society’s mentality, hence resulting in violence. The Buddhist social activities aim to prove that the poor and the needy are also being sheltered and cared for, in hope to purify the immoral minds. By carrying out these actions, everyone involved will gradually understand the Buddha’s teaching: “Avoid evil action, instead practice benevolence deeds”.

　　The impact of entrepreneurs and their management applications

　　The current activities in developing the Buddha dharma can be seen as rather incomplete. Ineffective propagandas have resulted in the dharma being hard to achieve and understand. This in turn also results in the dharma being difficult to awaken the mankind’s conscience.

　　Donation is the main factor in developing the growth of Buddha dharma. Donation can be used to utilize potential components that are keen in carrying out social activities and creating an international standard of interactive channels. All of these efforts will stimulate the success in spreading the Buddha dharma broadly.

　　The management systems within some organizations lack professionalism, with tasks delegated to those part-timers being too general. With low effectiveness, these are all obstacles in developing the Buddha dharma.

　　A harmonious and interactive development

　　Buddhist organizations should view the society as their proficient partner, while the entrepreneurs should see the effort in developing the Buddha dharma as their responsibilities, so that they can create and develop a harmonious ambience within a society that goes in line with the current technology development.

　　Having this in mind, the perception of 10 immoral deeds and 10 righteousness (according to the Buddha’s teaching) will become a beautiful culture within our workplace. This culture will be experienced by both supervisors and subordinates. The wisdom of the Buddha will then become a spiritual inspiration, which is very much needed in this delusory world. Buddha had left us long time ago, and since then there have been countless Buddhism sects rising throughout. As a Buddhist, we shall preserve peacefulness, provide tolerance to forgive and be forgiven. These are all the implementation and responsibility in cultivating the Buddha dharma.

　　In facing various Buddhism sects, it is worthwhile to understand their teachings instead of emphasising our own tradition and values, which will only create misunderstanding among us. This kind of attitude is not of a person that truly understands the truth of the Buddha’s teaching.

　　Buddhism is widely perceived as a gentle yet beautiful culture. The dharma itself contains profound gentleness and serenity. Therefore, it is not surprising that more and more people become interested in learning the Buddha’s dharma.
By having the ‘Ten Conformities Aphorism’ on mind, we would be able to distance ourselves from arrogance and haughtiness. Communities from other religions can practice tolerance as well. We realize that differences come from various fundamentals and aspects. Each religion has their believers that share a mutual affinity. Don’t we all share a mutual objective in broadening the Buddha’s teaching?

　　To achieve harmony, the Buddha’s dharma has within itself the richness of the profound meanings that can be hailed as the truth in Buddhism teachings. These teachings can bridge the relation between developing the dharma and the entrepreneurs. It can also be used in training more cultivators and volunteers. The Buddha’s dharma not only provides assistance in material form, but it also creates and moulds mankind’s conscience toward righteousness.

　　Honourable and compassionate Buddha, we sincerely hope that through this World Buddhist Forum we are able to sow the seed of benevolent in every single soul in this world.
