| 4 | GAO Junling, University of Hong Kong 高峻岭, 香港大學  |
Dr. Junling Gao, is a research assistant professor in the Buddhism Practice and Counselling Science Lab at the Centre of Buddhist Studies, The University of Hong Kong. He has a medical background while devoted to exploring health-related issues spanning medical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. His research utilizes cutting-edge modern techniques, including neuroimaging tools and AI algorithms, to investigate the working mechanism of religious and meditative practice, and its impact on psychological well-being.
One of Dr. Gao’s groundbreaking studies is a series of neuroscientific experiments on the spiritual chanting of Amitabha Buddha’s name, which represents a first systematic study of religious chanting and prayer in the world. This research has garnered significant interest not only within the Buddhist community in Eastern culture but also from Western media outlets such as the BBC. During decades of work in this interdisciplinary field, Dr. Gao asserts that the advancements in modern science have greatly contributed to helping ordinary people better understand Buddhist practices and philosophy. Moreover, he recognizes that the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) poses thought-provoking questions to both Buddhism and neuroscience regarding fundamental issues of consciousness and the self. We are living in the best era to study Buddhism through an interdisciplinary approach. With an emerging challenges in the age of AI, his proposal of “The Power of the Buddhist Mind: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Reducing Suffering and Promoting Well-being in the Modern World” would seek to explore the relevance and potential of Buddhist wisdom in tackling the persistent problems of greed, anger, and ignorance in contemporary society, drawing upon insights from various fields of neuroscience, psychology, medicine, engineering, and computer science. 高峻岭博士致力於開拓人文與科學的跨學科研究，他尤其在佛教與神經科學領域中其成果斐然，持續努力為佛教與科學架起了一座橋樑。高博士擁有神經學博士學位和佛學碩士學位，其相關研究成果也能在學術界和媒體上都得到廣泛認可。譬如他關於念佛的神經科學論文被列入香港大學主頁之校長推薦研究，而他關於正念的多媒體文獻報道則被美國《新聞週刊》等知名媒體報導。 現代社會注重科學證據，而腦科學和人工智能的發展為佛學研究和佛教鍥入現代生活提供了新的可能性。高峻岭博士在佛教實踐與諮詢科學實驗室的持續工作，以及發表眾多的科學論文為此提供了新的理論和實證支持。在當代社會，這對於探索並推廣東西方文化傳統之融合具有極強的現實意義。當今社會人們的精神壓力日益增大，高博士的最終目標是利用可穿戴設備和大數據分析等技術協助修行、情緒調節和精神健康。鑒於該類研究的跨學科特性，高博士也積極尋求與各領域專家合作協同申請跨學科研究項目。 |

| 28 | WU Junqing, Liverpool University 鄔雋卿, 利物浦大學  |
My expertise is social and religious history from the 10th century (the Song Dynasty) up to the late 16th century (the Ming Dynasty). I am particularly interested in changes in the perception of religion, as revealed in the transmission of historiography.
My thesis examines “religious heresy” as a discursive construct, largely independent of social realities, in the Ming and Qing. A revised version of my thesis was published in 2017 by Brill as a monograph in their series “Religion in Chinese Society”. My current project focusses on the literary image of Chinese Buddhist monks, who, from the late 16th century onwards, frequently appear in popular stories as swindlers, evil magicians and sexual predators; nuns, too, are commonly stereotyped as procuresses and gossips. My project investigates the intentions and social forces behind this literature. Did it aim purely to entertain, or to instruct and enlighten as well? And if this latter, then how? This is an interdisciplinary project touching on social-religious history, Buddhist theology, literary studies, legal history, and gender and sexuality. 我的專長是從10世紀（宋朝）到16世紀晚期（明朝）的社會和宗教歷史。我對宗教觀念的變化特別感興趣，這些變化在歷史學的傳承中得以體現。我的博士論文探討了「宗教異端」作為一種話語構造，在明清時期的獨立性，與社會現實大部分無關。我的論文修訂版於2017年由 Brill 出版，作為他們「中國社會中的宗教」系列的專著發行。我的當前項目專注於中國佛教僧人的文學形象，從16世紀晚期開始，他們經常在流行故事中被描繪成騙子、邪惡的魔法師和性侵者；尼姑也常被刻板地刻畫成牽涉賣淫和散布流言的人。我的項目調查了這些文學背後的意圖和社會力量。它的目的純粹是娛樂，還是也有教育和啓迪的意圖？如果是後者，那麼是如何實現的呢？這是一個涉及社會宗教歷史、佛教神學、文學研究、法律史以及性別與性取向的跨學科項目。 |
