婚姻實是一門深奧的學問與一項艱鉅的工程，更是高難度的修行藝術。現今離婚率居高不下，社會問題叢生，家庭功能不彰，已是普遍的事實。佛教在家居士藉由婚姻生活以便鍛鍊心智，學習為人處世之道。然而在家居士廣佈於各行各業之中，如何使其依循佛陀的教義，過著道德的良善生活，達到淨化世間，成就人間淨土，值得我自深思。透過認識佛教有關婚姻的道德規範，或許有助於和諧夫妻關係的確立，進而建立的和樂家庭，使社會一片祥和。由佛教儀式的洗禮，締結美滿姻緣，成為佛化眷屬。首言佛教倫理與全球倫理之相應處，並試由宗教、論理學與人類學等跨學科的角度為研究的褣路；其次，探討婚姻倫理的基本內涵；再次，探究佛化婚禮的象徵義涵，於佛堂舉行之佛化婚禮，由具佛教攸仰之善男子與善女人，在佛像前宣誓，藉由僧侶的福證，及在儀式進行中的相關禱詞、歌頌，宗成佛化婚禮，進而成立佛化家庭；另外在前述的基礎下，說明人間佛教的婚姻倫理，了解婚姻主體之善男子、善女人的在婚姻關係中的責任、義務與相處之道；最後，期能揭示佛教婚姻倫理的實踐意義與崇高價值。

It is noticed that the divorce rate has remained at the high profile in current society. The values of family are no longer emphasized as earlier time.

By reviewing the ceremony of Buddhist wedding including its procedures and the Buddhist ethics behind, we may have a better understanding of symbolic meanings and core values of ceremony.
