法界佛教大學新課程
New Programs at DRBU

【本刊訊】木刊訊萬佛聖城法界大學秋季班,今年開了幾門新課程,受到熱烈地歡迎。其中如藝術課程,一位來自大陸的著名藝術家楊建友先生,教授「傳統佛教繪畫」,他往往一筆畫就,神韻有如天成。教導學生下筆卻由基礎著手,於難掌握處,皆耐心教導培養學生們的興趣,貢獻心神,不遺餘力。

中文課程自則由曾任美國匹玆堡大學束亞語文學系系主任的楊富森教授執教,有慈祥的長者風範,精於書法,文采博雅,善於表達,通中英文,且認真負責,楊教授能於課堂中以活潑開放的方式,啟發學生的智慧,寓教於樂。楊教授認為,學習的木身即是快樂而不是痛苦。故出席者踴躍。學生多數為出家眾,亦有不少來自瑜伽鎮的居民。楊教授中文教學經驗豐富,曾在美國及歐州大學任教三十年以上。教學方法獨到,加上其本身文學的素養深厚,為人幽默風趣,督導也有良方,學生進步顯著。


[Announcement:] Several new programs at Dharma Realm Buddhist University (DRBU) have been enthusiastically received by students. Professor Jyan-you Yang, a renowned artist from mainland China, is teaching a class in Traditional Buddhist Drawing. His skill is such that he can often produce a complete drawing in one stroke. However, he teaches students the basics first. Patiently nurturing their interest, he covers the difficult aspects of drawing Buddhist images. He has devoted himself completely to his work, not saving any strength for himself.

The Chinese Language Program is directed by the past Chairman of the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at the University of Pittsburgh, Professor Richard Fu-sen Yang. Dr. Yang is the epitome of a benevolent elderly gentleman. Not only talented in Chinese calligraphy, he also has an extensive literary background, and can eloquently express himself in both Chinese and English. In his classes, he uses an open-minded and lively attitude to bring out the wisdom of the students. He is deeply convinced that learning should be a happy experience, not a painful one. Although the majority of the students are members of the Sangha, there are also quite a few laypeople, including members of the Ukiah community. Dr. Yang has ample educational experience, having been a faculty member of American and European universities for over thirty years. With his unique teaching style, solid foundation in Chinese literature, and vibrant humor, his classes are spirited and full of charm. And because he takes the class seriously, the students have made clear progress.
