In the 115th year of the Republic (2026), Fo Guang Shan celebrates the 60th anniversary of its founding and the 100th birthday of its Founding Master, Venerable Master Hsing Yun. To pay tribute and express remembrance, Chunghwa Post has issued a stamp and a souvenir sheet. The stamp highlights Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s lifelong dedication to the institutionalization, modernization, artistic development, and internationalization of Buddhism. The souvenir sheet, featuring paper-cutting and illustration styles, expresses the complete meaning of the Triple Gem of Fo Guang Shan, reflecting the harmonious wisdom, rich cultural depth, and contemporary, diverse spirit of Humanistic Buddhism. Descriptions of the designs are as follows:
1. NT$8 stamp: This stamp depicts Venerable Master Hsing Yun as a practitioner of Humanistic Buddhism, whose compassionate vow embraces all beings. As he once wrote: “A mind with the compassionate vow to deliver sentient beings, a body like an unbound boat that sails the ocean of Dharma. What merit and virtue have I accomplished in this lifetime? Peace and happiness shine upon the five continents.”
2. The souvenir sheet:
(1) Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum (NT$8): It symbolizes the Buddha Gem, enshrining the Buddha’s tooth relic and promoting the spirit of the Buddha’s universal compassion for all beings.
(2) Fo Guang Shan Sutra Repository (NT$8): Represents the Dharma Gem, which fosters education and talent, continuing the Buddha’s teachings to bring happiness and peace to the human world.
(3) Fo Guang Shan Main Shrine (NT$15): Symbolizes the Sangha Gem. The monastic community upholds the Buddha’s teachings and builds a Pure Land on earth.
(4) “The Life of Joined Palms” (NT$15): This illustration depicts Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s gesture of expressing gratitude to all supporters who have contributed to the Dharma cause.
