The need for religion stems from a profound urge to understand the human condition, so Buddhism's relationship with our time is not merely a question of faith. More than just a reversion to the origins of the faith, there should be a realization of the teachings at the practical level of daily life, as manifested in the aesthetics of architecture, Buddhist music and other aspects of society.
宗教的需要，源於對人生命處境深刻的反觀。因此，佛教與現代的關係，不應只有一個「信」字，除了回歸修行的原點，在建築、佛教音樂、以及各種現象上，也應顯現美感，如何化體為用等實際層面，如此，佛法的大典才不只是表象。
