聖嚴法師的菩薩戒思想主要表現在其《戒律學綱要》、《律制生活》及《菩薩戒指要》三部書之中。尤其是最後者，可以代表聖嚴法師的菩薩戒思想。除此之外，還有收錄於《學術論考》的〈戒律與人間淨土的建立〉一文也值得留意。本文主要依據《菩薩戒指要》，再參考聖嚴法師的其他著作或相關紀錄，以期鉤勒聖嚴法師菩薩戒思想的全貌，特別重視聖嚴法師菩薩戒思想中，因應現代社會需要所做的強調與詮釋的部分，尤其是其所強調的「萬行菩薩」理念，更是支持法鼓山佛教事業的核心理念，而這思想便是由其菩薩戒思想的詮釋中所開展出來的。「萬行菩薩」是法鼓山人間佛教實踐人間淨土的重要實踐指南。從佛教文化哲學的角度來看，可以據此評估聖嚴法師的菩薩戒思想，在哪些程度與層次已然運用了佛教思想的傳統資源；而其因應時代的考量是注意到哪些層次與角度；最後則要評估其由菩薩戒思想是否能夠在現代文化的脈絡，回應佛教傳統對於出世法與世俗法之平衡的雙重文化要求，而充足地成為現代菩薩行者之實踐基礎。

Venerable Sheng Yen had three books to claim his Sila thought of Bodhisattva, they are: Lu-zhi-sheng-huo (《律制生活》, 1963), Jie-lu-xue-gang-yao (《戒律學綱要》, 1965) and Po-sa-jie-zhiyao (《菩薩戒指要》, 1995), the last one is most important than the others. Besides, “Sila and the Establishment of Pure Land on Earth”(〈戒律與人間淨土的建立〉), 1996 finished，1997 published, edited in Xue-shu-lun-kao (《學術論考》), is worth to pay attention, too. Po-sa-jie-zhi-yao is the main foundation of this paper. I wish I could outline Venerable Sheng Yen’s Bodhisattva sila thought. Especially, I try to gaze at the idea of “Ten thousands skillful Bodhisattva,” because it is created for modern people by interpreting Bodhisattva sila thought and adjusting some strict and complicated demands to make it simple and acceptable in modern life. We can say that Dharma Drum has based it to inspire people, to develop into a great Buddhist organization. “Ten thousands skillful Bodhisattva” is the guideline for Dharma Drum to success the “Pure Land on Earth.” According to the viewpoint of Buddhist cultural philosophy, I will analysis what resource of Buddhist tradition it based on, and what criterion Venerable Sheng Yen used to adjust the traditional Bodhisattva sila, and in the final, to evaluate whether it could be an effective and sufficient foundation for modern Bodhisattva disciplines in the modern texture of life to get a balance between the sacred relievable life and conventional cultural life.
