Volume five of Studies on Humanistic Buddhism contains eight articles translated from Chinese, one article that was written in English, and four student papers. The theme of the articles is Humanistic Chan Buddhism, particularly Fo Guang Chan as developed by Venerable Master Hsing Yun. The articles in this volume give us a taste of the flavor of Chan. We see that Chan is both prosaic and profound. Chan emphasizes the cultivation of wisdom through practice in everyday life.

本書特色★日本詩人多喜百合子首本中譯詩集。★本詩集譯者亦是著名詩人李魁賢，獲頒2016年奈姆．弗拉舍里文學獎，賦予桂冠詩人榮銜，並聘為詩歌節榮譽委員；2017年國家文藝獎得主。序前言／多喜百合子 2021年初，很高興接到台灣著名詩人李魁賢博士電子郵件：「I got an idea to translate one volume of your poems into Mandarin this year and to publish it in Taiwan thereafter. I don't know whether you are interesting this idea or not. If it is affirmative, please give me a word file including your poems to be translated. It had better in English and Japanese bilingual.」 早在2013年，我有10首詩，包括描寫福島事故的詩作，就被李魁賢博士翻譯成華語，收入《世界女詩人選集》（秀威2013），其中一首〈假使〉還發表在台灣大報《自由時報》上。從2011年3月11日發生福島事故起兩年間，當事國日本在政府主導下，試圖把災害損失看得微乎其微，反而在台灣有20萬人舉行反核示威遊行。 另外在2015年，詩〈福島的希望〉（福島核電廠災變第4年）也被譯成中文，刊載於台南福爾摩莎國際詩歌節大會詩選集《鳳凰花開時》。 此次，除上述11首詩外，另傳送16首詩和3篇短論給他。 台灣是世界模範國家，在武漢肺炎全世界擴大傳染的苦難中，政府正確又科學的初期對策奏效，全民過著正常生活。即使有關核電，也已經從日本事故中學到經驗，掌握正確方向。 拙詩蒙代表台灣的詩人李魁賢博士，親手翻譯成台灣使用語言，有幸能獲得理智的台灣方家閱讀，喜悅莫此為甚。 謹向李魁賢博士致上衷心謝忱。書籍簡介「然而所有陣亡者及其遺族不是報復但願人間不再發生這種慘事。」 ──〈不是報復〉（報復ではなく）311地震福島核電外洩、廣島及長崎原爆、911恐怖攻擊、日本慰安婦議題――多喜百合子在《世紀悲歌》中表達了對世界上種種悲劇的憤怒與憂慮，透過文字，作者向世界大聲疾呼。質樸的句子，蘊含的情感是如此沉重，讀起來令

A sweeping look at the career of a truly singular Hollywood star In the oceans of ink devoted to the monumental movie star/businesswoman/political activist Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (1932-2011), her beauty and not-so-private life frequently overshadowed her movies. While she knew how to generate publicity like no other, her personal life is set aside in this volume in favor of her professional oeuvre and unique screen dynamism. In On Elizabeth Taylor: An Opinionated Guide, her marriages, illnesses, media firestorms, perfume empire, violet eyes, and AIDS advocacy take a back seat to Elizabeth Taylor, the actress. Taylor's big screen credits span over fifty years, from her pre-adolescent debut in There's One Born Every Minute (1942) to her cameo in The Flintstones (1994). She worked steadily in everything from the biggest production in film history (Cleopatra in 1963) to a humble daytime TV soap opera (General Hospital in 1981). Each of her sixty-seven film appearances is recapped here w
