本文對星雲大師青年時期的人間佛教思想首次作出了深入細緻的專題研究，認為星雲大師青年時期的人間佛教思想涵義豐富而深刻，其中的「人間的佛陀」、「佛陀革命」、「青年弘法」、「佛教大眾化、社會化」等四大理念，分別體現星雲大師「新佛教」的佛陀思想、佛學思想、弘法主體思想及弘法方向思想，代表星雲大師青年時期人間佛教思想的核心理念；下啟佛光山 60年代末開山以後所提出及實踐的「四大宗旨」，並作為基本的、核心的及一貫的思想理念，貫穿於星雲大師一生所弘揚的人間佛教理論及實踐中。本文據此呼籲對於包括星雲在內的 20世紀 50年代大陸來台青年僧人，在臺灣人間佛教開展中所起重要歷史作用的關注與重視。

This paper tries to make a thorough and detailed study for the first time towards the thought of Humanistic Buddhism of Master Hsing Yun in his youth. The author believes that the meanings of the thoughts of Humanistic Buddhism by Master Hsing Yun in his youth are rich and deep. Four concepts in particular, “the human Buddha”, “Buddhist revolution”, “youth preaching” and “Buddhism popularity and socialization”, were embodied in Master Hsing Yun’s theory of "New Buddhism". These represent the core concepts and ideas that Master Hsing Yun held in this period. However, these so-called concepts and related ideology opened “four aims” which were proposed and practiced by the Fo Guang Shan monastic community late in the 1960s. Moreover, some basic, core and consistent ideas permeated the theory and practice of Humanistic Buddhism by Master Hsing Yun throughout his entire lifetime until today. This article accordingly appeals to give more attention on the important historical pivotal role which youth monks acted towards Taiwanese Humanistic Buddhism in 1950s, among these young people was the now famous Venerable Master Hsing Yun.
