  “Buddha’s light shines three thousand circles and Buddha’s dharma spreads in five continents” -- This is the ideal of Master Hsing Yun, the founder of Fo Guang Shan, for a place without noise on the earth. Promoting Buddhism for sixty years, Master Hsing Yun always considers young people as treasures. The FGS Tsunglin University, Punmen Senior High School, Universities with departments of Buddhism and the Buddha's Light International Youth League all embody the wish of Master Hsing Yun to, let the Buddha’s dharma benefit more young people.
  “佛光普照三千界,法水长流五大洲”——这是佛光山开山宗长星云大师的人间净土理想。弘法一甲子,星云大师一直将青年人视若珍宝。从僧众的丛林学院,到普门中学以及设有佛教学系的大学学府,再到国际佛光青年团,无不体现了星云大师的愿心,即让佛法惠及更多青年人。
  The problems youths are often confronted with, like self-understanding, education and employment, are always kept in mind by Master Hsing Yun. As early as over 50 years ago, when promoting Buddhism in Yilan, he first founded a Buddhist singing group for the youths there and let them learn Buddhism in singing. In the second year after Fo Guang Shan became the place of Buddhism, he initiated a junior college summer camp of Buddhism. In “The First American and Canadian Buddhist Youth Life Camp” on March 22nd, 1996, Master Hsing Yun pointed out that, if someone wanted to know the ups and downs of a country’s future, the youths needed to be understood first, and to know the future development of Buddhism, the performance of youths needed to be seen as well. It can be said that, youths are the hope of Buddhism in the furfure.
  对于当下青年人最常面对的自我认识、教育、就业等问题,星云大师时常挂念在心。早在五十多年前,大师于宜兰弘法的时候,就开风气之先地为青年人成立了佛教歌咏队,让青年在唱歌中学佛。在佛光山开山第二年,又创先河地开办了大专佛学夏令营。在1996年3月22日举办的“第一届美加佛教青年生活营”期间,星云大师指出,想了解一个国家的未来兴衰,先看这个国家的青年;相同的,想知道佛教的未来发展,一样要看佛教青年的表现。可以说,青年是佛教未来的希望。
  The master’s words inspired each youth’s sense of mission to carry forward the dharma and the hope to establish the Buddha's Light Youth League, so as to devote to the popularization of Buddhism. The proposal was immediately supported by the master and was adopted by the “First Session of the Second Council of the Buddha's Light International Association (BLIA)” on April 23rd, 1996. Then, an international youth league attached to BLIA was officially founded. The league set up branch missions all around the world in a trend like prairie fires.
  Master Hsing Yun said with relief, “The future of Buddhism is immeasurable. Although the league is one small step for BLIA, it is a giant leap for mankind.”
  大师的一席话激发了每位青年对弘扬佛法的使命感,并希望能成立佛教青年社团,从而为光大佛教尽一份力。而此项提案,立即得到了大师的支持,并于当年4月23日在马来西亚举办的“国际佛光会第二届第一次理事会”中通过。自此,一个隶属于国际佛光会的国际性青年社团正式诞生。随后,佛光青年以星火燎原之势在世界各地相继成立了分团。   对此,星云大师颇为欣慰地感慨称:“佛教青年的未来无可限量。佛光青年团虽然是佛光会的一小步,却是世界人类的一大步。”
  Various international youth workshops, life experience camps and voluntary trips held by BLIA, Young Men's Christian Association and Youth League not only offer platforms for the youths all over the world to communicated and learn from each other, but also help them find the direction of life through Buddhism. Youths can develop leadership skills by organizing societies, expand life by taking part in activities, implant Buddhist belief by education and training and promote the value of life by serving the society.
  With various activities, the past social ideas of Buddhism gradually changed and the learning of Buddhism among youths sprung up. From 1997 till now, the Buddha's Light International Youth League has had over 200 branch missions in the world. More and more young people join in the teams and make efforts together for the promotion of Buddhism and realization of a place without noise on earth.
  从国际佛光会、青年会,到青年团,通过各种国际青年研习会、生命体验营和公益旅行的举办,不仅让世界各地的青年有了一个彼此交流学习的平台,更让他们能以人间佛教建立生活方向,以组织社团培养领导能力,以参与活动拓展生活领域,以教育训练深植佛教信仰,以服务社会提升生命价值。
  随着各项活动的开展,过去社会对佛教的种种成见逐渐被打破,青年学佛风生水起。从1997年发展至今,佛光青年在全球五大洲已有超过两百个分团。如今,越来越多的青年人加入到佛光青年的队伍中,为推广人间佛教,实现人间净土而共同努力。
