楊郁文(1937~),台灣省雲林縣人。台灣大學土木工程系肄業,一九六一年畢業於高雄醫學院醫學系。一九六九年閱讀印順法師著作《學佛三要》,自認建立正信三寶。於一九七○年與父母、妻子一同請求 印順法師允許,證明正式歸依三寶;時印順法師為得戒和尚,於嘉義天龍寺開戒,其自願求授菩薩戒,成為菩薩戒優婆塞,法名宏文;懺雲法師賜名淨梵。
一九七一年於嘉義佛寺閱讀大正藏。一九七二年閱讀印順法師著作〈印度之佛教〉,自此不再關心歷代大德站在個人或部派或大小乘之諍論;於佛法排除大部份之猶豫不決。次年閱讀〈妙雲集〉上、中、下篇,發覺「《阿含經》為『根本佛教』」之重要性。因而啟迪研讀北傳《四部阿含》、日譯南傳《五部尼柯耶》,為進一步如實瞭解早期「佛法」,深深覺得有必要直接研究並探求原始資料,而刻苦自修巴利文,目前已是國內自學成功,可以直接閱讀巴利語聖典、《五部尼柯耶》,且對原始聖典與文獻有深入理解的學者之一。
三十餘年其踏實的研究與熱心、誠摯的教學,傳佈根本佛教之人間精神,深受修學阿含道行者的愛戴,目前已是台灣佛學界最知名的阿含專家。平日除了自行開業婦產科診所隨緣濟世外,曾任《佛光大藏經‧阿含藏》、《佛光大辭典》編輯審稿委員,巴利佛教研究所副所長、中國文化大學中華學術院佛學研究所暨印度研究所副研究員;並曾執教佛光山叢林學院研究部、圓光佛學研究所、靈山佛學研究所、佛光山女子佛學院。現任中華佛學研究所專任研究員、甘露道指導老師。並在中華佛學研究所、法光佛學研究所、中華佛學研究所推廣教育中心教授阿含。已出版著作有《阿含要略》、《長阿含遊行經註解》、《由人間佛法透視緣起、我、無我、空》、《佛教聖地隨念經註解》等,現在從事《阿含辭典》之編著。
楊老師認為阿含,是佛法的中心、根本,阿含裏的佛陀是人間的、是現實的。以現代人的眼光來看,佛所說的法,是立足於人生,而且不違背真理實相,來為人類解決困擾。在《阿含經》中,佛陀的說法是以有用、聽者能懂、聽者能接受且喜歡聽為原則。佛的說法不祇是讓聽的人安心,終極的目的在於使受教者貪、瞋、癡滅盡。楊老師希望藉由阿含來傳達,讓我們能理解到佛陀教化的原則以及教化的方式,我們順著佛陀這些內心的安排,我們學起來才能相應。
