基本上,人間佛教已是當代佛教的中心思想之一,然而就佛教與社會福利兩者歷史 結合的社會學考察而言,相當程度上人間佛教依然還是存在著某種創造性模糊,而無法落實成 為日常生活的一部份。準此,有關人間佛教的遠見與願景正是建基在人間佛教前瞻性的思潮 上,正視當前臺灣社會的現實性,藉以思索佛教人間化未來的可行之道。對此,就社會福利、社會 工作以及非營利組織的一般性綜合考察,我們提出以「佛教社區化」來作為人間佛教轉化的機 制所在,不過,在「佛教社區化」的運作過程裡,可能還需要更周延的規劃與統整,這其中包括 有精舍、講堂本身無障礙環境的全面改造以及社福專業人材的制度性養成。除此以外,佛教團 體也當以一種開放的胸襟,主動地與外界進行對話、合作。總之,落實人間佛教的究竟關懷自 然還是有其所無法迴避的內在限制。

　　　　　Basically, humanistic Buddhism has become the major thought in modern era, but from the sociological investigation, there are some creative obscurities between Buddhism and social welfare, that is, the concepts of the humanistic Buddhism can't be induced into people's daily life. Therefore based on the forward-looking imaginations of humanistic Buddhism, we think the community-based Buddhist services as the mechanism about the transformation of humanistic Buddhism. Incidentally, there also are some tasks during the process of the community-based Buddhist services, for example the environmental redesign of the temple and the professional training of the social welfare workers. Besides the hardware and software tasks, Buddhist groups must have access to dialogue in the open-minded attlitude each other. All in all, there are still some limitations when we try to realize the target of humanistic Buddhism.
