周日佛学班所面对的新挑战和回应——以文德甲佛教会为范例
时代瞬息万状，佛教的弘化方式也必须应运时代而有不同。向学生系统介绍佛法，接引他们进入佛门的主要管道是各地佛团所办的周五/周日佛学班。上个世纪七、八十年代可谓是佛学班最为蓬勃发展的时期，其效果也彰显。可是随着我国教育结构的改变，社会的变迁，信息科技的日愈普遍，佛学班开始显出疲态，回应乏力。各地区即使保留佛学班，也在苦苦支撑，探寻新的方针与出路。此文以彭亨州文德甲佛教会的周日佛学班为个案，探讨周日佛学班在AI时代该如何操作，以继续承担续佛慧命的任务。
Rapid changing of time has called for modifications of Buddhist propagation methods in order to be in tandem with present age. For most Buddhist organisations, systematic introduction of the Dharma to students and then guiding them into Buddhism have been mainly done through Friday or Sunday Dharma classes. The most vigorous developmental periods of Dharma classes have been in the 70s and 80s of the last century and the achievements are also obvious. However, with the revision of educational structure in our country plus changes in the society with more common place of information technology have resulted in the waning of these Dharma classes. Even though these classes are to be retained, they will still struggle to function while searching for new direction. This paper will probe into how a Sunday Dharma class should operate in an AI era using the Mentakab Buddhist Association’s Sunday Dharma class as a case study.
