..續本文上一頁他的通俗著作可以當成佛門的異聞掌故來閱讀。
而有關精進佛七中所結集的幾本感應錄,則可作爲當代淨土宗感應錄的資料來保存,也爲當代淨土活動的風貌,留下某一面向的資料。
總結地說,煮雲法師在臺灣重建大陸化佛教模式的過程中,在五○年代至七○年代他可謂傳統佛教中的改革者,在把佛教普及化、通俗化上,他是具有代表性的人物。但在傳統大陸式佛教隨著教界思想的變動、社會脈動的變化,逐漸轉型欲建構出當代佛教主體特性的八○年代,他則成了新時代中舊傳統的倡導者。所以,煮雲法師可以說是當代臺灣佛教在八○年代中期之前,精進佛七和通俗佛教的代表者。

Summary
Chu-yun was among the youngest of the three generations of Mainland monks who arrived in Taiwan in 1949. This article examines his experience and Buddhist activities. On the one hand, I attempt to understand problems in the accomodation and development of a young Mainland monk in Taiwan. On the other hand, I explore the contributions and position of Chu-yun in the history of Taiwanese Buddhism. This particular case can help us to understand the peculiar experience and temporal significance of the attempt to apply a "Mainland Buddhist model" to Taiwan after the war. The article is pided into two major sections.
First I examine Chu-yun”s experience on the Mainland and the influence of this experience on his activities in Taiwan. On his arrival in Taiwan, Chu-yun was a young monk fresh out of a Buddhist academy with little experience in monastic administration. Hence, while his experience in the Mainland provided him with training in scholarship and practice (in particular his experience at P”u-t”o-shan was useful in his work in Taiwan), on arriving in Taiwan, Chu-yun had virtually no social connections or financial support.
In the second part of the article I discuss the process of Chu-yun”s personal development and his Buddhist activities after he came to Taiwan. This discussion is pided into three stages. In the first stage Chu-yun faced problems of adaptation to and incorporation into Taiwanese society. In this section I explore how Chu-yun went from being a wandering monk to administering a monastery. I also how Chu-yun faced problems in the relationship between monks from the Mainland and monks native to Taiwan. In the second stage Chu-yun faced problems of finances and environment. In this section I examine how Chu-yun administered his monastery and related activities, as well as the administrative difficulties he faced owing to his poor health. At the same time I discuss Chu-yun”s response to the confrontation between Buddhism and Christianity. In the third stage Chu-yun faced problems of innovation and expansion. In this section I discuss the reasons behind Chu-yun”s decision to establish meditation retreats (ching-chin fo-ch”I), as well as the reasons for the popular success of these retreats under his leadership, that is, the social background of the time. I also discuss the development of the institution of these retreats after Chu-yun”s death. Finally, based on the preceding discussion, I conclude that Chu-yun was a representative of popular Buddhism and the retreat movement in Taiwan up to the mid 1980s.
Key words: 1. Chu-yun 2. Taiwanese Buddhism 3. meditation retreats 4. Miracles
5. popular Buddhist writings
