Program Agenda (TBA)
人間音緣緣起
1953年，星雲大師到宜蘭雷音寺弘法，為了接引年輕人學佛，遂成立「佛教青年歌詠隊」。為實踐以音樂傳遞佛法，由大師作詞，吳居徹、李中和、蕭滬音教授等人譜曲，寫下「弘法者之歌」、「甘露」、「菩提樹」、「佛光山之歌」及「三寶頌」等琅琅上口的佛教歌曲，並陸續出版佛教有聲唱片及錄音帶，發輝「以音聲作佛事」之功，將佛教音樂更為大眾化、普及化。
為了延續以音樂弘法的精神，2003年由開山寮特助慈惠法師總策畫、邀請佛光大學藝術研究所林谷芳所長擔任藝術總監，佛光山文教基金會舉辦「人間音緣─星雲大師佛教歌曲發表會」徵曲活動，將大師寫的法語編輯成詞庫，廣邀全世界各地的作曲家共同創作編曲。至今已有中文、泰文、德文、印尼文、韓文、葡萄牙語、西班牙語及英文⋯⋯等三十多種語言，曲調有藍調、爵士、民謠、搖滾、饒舌、拉丁等風格，如此多元、豐富的佛教音樂，深受大眾的喜愛並廣為傳唱。
慈惠法師亦曾表示，很想做青少年、兒童的「人間音緣」，從大師的歌詞中編寫兒童詞庫，再專門徵求兒童歌曲、青少年歌曲，這樣子兒童夏令營、中小學、幼兒園都能受益。如果有兒童詞庫，再廣邀各別分院道場或隨雲水書車至各級學校推廣徵曲，就可以透過音樂將佛法傳承至下一代。

Sounds of the Human World
Origins of “Sounds of the Human World” ─ Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s Buddhist Songs Performance
Sixty-four years ago Venerable Master Hsing Yun arrived in Ilan to propagate the Dharma. In that conservative, orthodox and traditional community, in order to attract youth to study Buddhism, he used modern songs as a bridge to form a Youth Choir. Because of the young members of the Youth Choir and their fervor in propagating Buddhism, in 1957 under the direction of Venerable Master, they began the first ever Buddhist teachings on radio, and also recorded Taiwan’s first ever Buddhist LP record. This style that broke through tradition, received a very strong response. From this onwards, Fo Guang Shan’s activities all include Buddhist songs that let devotees experience the truth of living a Buddhist life through song.
Starting in 1979, Venerable Master tried using a creative method that embodied both the traditional and modern, a combination of both eastern and western techniques. Taking Buddhist chanting and Dun Huang dance styles, together along with classical Chinese music, the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Choir performed to many audiences in concerts to spread the Dharma. This was the first time that Buddhist chanting had entered national theaters and concert halls to perform and display the beauty of Buddhist music. In 1997 the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Choir toured through Asia, America, Europe and Australia, performing in over 30 countries. They brought Buddhist chanting and music onto the international stage, and let western audiences hear the divine chorus of the east. This was a whole new page in the annals of Buddhist chanting and music history.
Moving with the times, this style of Buddhist musical performance broke through the many centuries of being an exclusive Chinese heritage. From 1957, after the recording of some six Buddhist LPs, the producing of cassettes and videos has continued. Beginning in 1998, when CDs and VCDs were also distributed, Buddhist music took to new heights in it’s modern progress.
This year marked the 60th anniversary of Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s creation of such Buddhist music. In order to let this continue to become even more universal and accessible, the Fo Guang Shan Religious Affairs Committee has been organizing the “Sounds from the Human World Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s Buddhist Songs Performance”. We hope to let all music lovers worldwide participate and contribute, composing music and performing these lyrics, to create a humanistic Pure Land of joy and happiness.
