Abstract |
The chapter explores the ethos of FGS first by contrasting it with another Taiwanese Buddhist movement of much the same age as FGS, Tzu Chi, finding that the focus of their activities and underlying ethos are quite different although both are known as "humanistic buddhsim". The authors go on to narrate the biography of Hsing Yun in an effort to show how aspects of his larger-than-life personality have influenced the character of FGS. They pay attention to his writing, publishing and other media activities which have always been his main method of proselytizing, as well as spiritual tourism/pilgrimage operations which they run on a massive scale. |
