法鼓山創辦人於二○○九年二月三日圓寂後，在失去組織精神領袖之情況下，法鼓山僧團仍秉承創辦人的悲願，繼續帶領僧俗四眾推動理念。幾年來，在創辦人奠定的深厚基礎下，團體雖仍穩定地持續運作，然亦面臨內外種種的情勢。故在創辦人圓寂五週年之際，筆者以都監的角色，試圖探索適合佛教道場的組織型態及運作方式。深切思考如何突破現況？如何面對當今的時代情勢、整體教團的現況，反省目前的缺失，重新思考如何以法鼓山的核心「心靈環保」做為領眾及營運的核心，開創法鼓山的新局面？這篇論文是記錄及探索筆者運用三種漢傳禪觀，即話頭禪、默照禪、觀音法門領眾的過程，試圖找到組織的定位與適合的運作模式。透過筆者及參與者的行動與反省交錯之影響力量，探究組織領眾者如何帶領大眾，突破法鼓山的現況，朝向符合修行、心靈環保內涵的組織方向建構。首先，以臨濟宗的話頭法門，深究內省，敏銳地自我覺察，洞悉組織的問題與解決問題的核心所在，並以話頭的力道來突破困境、開展契機。第二，以曹洞宗的默照法門，綜觀全局，規畫出「心靈環保組織」的藍圖。其中包括理念及方向之導正、組織架構之簡化、僧俗四眾人才之培育，引導教團回歸深化教育及關懷、淨化社會風氣、形塑組織文化之方向。第三，修行觀音法門，透過自利的耳根圓通法門，智慧轉境；更以利他的聞聲救苦精神，慈悲利他，開展智慧與慈悲的力量。過程中，化解阻力為助力，引領僧俗四眾從二○一四「和樂無諍」的一年，邁向二○一五年的「光明遠大」。最後，總結以心靈環保為核心、心六倫為軌範、心五四為方法，達到四種環保境界的組織，將會是引導二十一世紀的「修行型組織」。

As the human race entered the 21st century, people began to realize that the current developmental patterns of human society were not sustainable. Pressing issues relating to the global economic crisis, the imbalance of production and consumption, financial market volatility, ecological destruction, degradation of the natural environment, climate change, poverty, and social injustice have now become quite serious. As a result, the world’s religious leaders are looking for the best solutions to benefit the human race. Master Sheng Yen (1930-2009), founder of the Dharma Drum Mountain (DDM) organization, attempted to address these contemporary global issues by introducing the groundbreaking concept of Protecting the Spiritual Environment (PSE) in 1992. More than just a religious concept or movement, PSE also provides practical ideas and methods to help face the world’s situation. However, when Master Sheng Yen passed away in 2009, several pertinent issues concerning the construction and development of DDM emerged and challenged the organization’s situation. Five years after the passing of Master Sheng Yen, DDM has taken a necessary step to reflect on and weigh its present role in the advancement of both Buddhism and human society. DDM is also reconsidering how PSE will become the principle in leadership and management in the context of the organization, thus pioneering the inaugural idea of a PSE Organization. This paper was conducted under the methodology of Action Research, with the purpose of studying how the leaders of DDM practice and implement Buddhism. Instead of elegant theories, this paper focuses on the personal self-reflection that arises in Chan practice. In other words, this paper aims to discuss how DDM’s leaders are steering the development of the organization to a new prospect, in which the primary guidance is firmly grounded in the dual emphasis of Buddhist doctrine and Chan approaches. First and foremost, the Hua Tou method is used to examine leaders who are self-aware and probe the core problems and sticking points that need to be solved in the organization. Second, the Silent Illumination method is employed in analyzing how leaders see the big picture and outline the framework of a “Practicing Organization”. The aims of these leaders include simplification of the organizational structure, rearrangement of job assignments, and reconstruction of values and missions. Silent Illumination is further used in assessing the efforts of how leaders endeavor to steer the whole DDM community back to the correct direction, without being constrained by fund-raising concerns. At the same time, the problems encountered in the process of reform of the system are also considered. Third, this paper will discuss how DDM’s leaders practice the method of Guan Yin in order to strengthen their unity, withstand challenges, and stride past barriers. These efforts will help plot the course of progress, leading the organization to take a great step forward and head into the “Great Light” year of 2015. The inaugural idea of a PSE Organization, which is firmly grounded in the essence of PSE, will lay down a solid foundation for the formation of a Practicing Organization. With the integration of “the Six Ethics of the Mind” as the main pathway, and “the Fivefold Spiritual Renaissance Campaign” as the methodology, this innovation creates a brand new approach to leadership and management in accordance with the ideal state of “Four Kinds of Environmentalism” in this modern time.
