| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺東大學 === 教育學系(所) === 103 === Master Sheng Yen (1930-2009) is not only a Chinese Buddhist master but also a great thinker, educator, author and scholar. He wrote many books, which aimed to cleanse the human psyche. Moreover, his practice and vow could be seen as a spiritual lesson for people. By the way literature review and historical investigation, I analyzed relevant bibliographies and focused on the theme of spiritual cleansing and the vision of turning this world into a pure land.This paper’s started from the spiritual aspect of education, human nature, morality to analyze and interpret the logic and foundation of Sheng Yen’s theories of education. In addition,I explored the metaphysical dimension with the help of mind maps to construct the essence, values,and goals of Master
Sheng Yen’s educational thought.I found that “wisdom as the substance,expedience as the character,and compassion as the use” demonstrate the educational thought of Master Sheng Yen,and”using Buddhist teachings to improve oneself and to help others”become his teaching principle.Educators could grasp the essence and
principles of Master Sheng Yen’s educational thought and apply them into the education.
