本研究從印順導師之人間佛教思想出發，與聖嚴法師之人間淨土思想做一種基礎性的比較，分析兩者之間所呈現的異同之處。這樣的研究角度，其實是回應聖嚴法師自己所提出來的方向。首先，對比兩者在思想名稱、主張內容、欲達成目標、實踐方法與特色、學理和聖典基礎等面向做多元性的分析；其次，探討二者在理論上是否可能面對某些難題，並從《維摩詰經》、《阿含經》等經論來與之對話；最後，從實務面來提出詢問：兩位大師淨化人間的相關思想，在契理契機的意義上，是否仍然完全適用於解決當代中華社會或國際情勢所面對的挑戰？

This article aims at exploring Master Sheng-yen’s thought of Pure Land in Human Realm, in comparison to Master Yinshun’s thought of Buddhism in Human Realm. The approach of comparative study on relevant issue was originally suggested by Master Sheng-yen, but no details of how to proceed. This study attempts to do a basic analysis on the naming of thoughts, their contents, goals to be achieved, characteristics of practices, as well as doctrinal and Buddhist canonical bases that have been applied. In addition to this, a dialogue by using representative Buddhist texts will be employed to clarify some significant points from both Masters’ theoretical frameworks. Finally, a pragmatic question will also be raised: whether the thoughts of purification of human realm as promoted by these Masters are still applicable to the modern Chinese society and global challenges?
