從印度佛教的中國化與中國化佛教的向世界傳播,來討論宗教的普世性與地方化,對於在全球化時代的今天討論基督教在中國的發展,是十分有意義的。本文即以印度佛教的中國化為視點,重點探討了三個方面的問題:(1)從外來宗教與本土文化相碰撞所引發的各種問題中來回顧佛教的中國化歷程及其在中國的廣泛傳播與發展。(2)探討中國化的佛教如何既堅持佛教的基本信仰與教義,又與中國傳統文化相融合,表現出了中國的特色,從而獲得了在中土的成功傳播與發展。(3)探討基督教的普世化與本土化問題,認為基督教在中國的傳播發展過程中,必須進一步處理好與中國社會文化的關系,特別是與社會主義社會相適應。 To discuss the universality and localization of religions from the sinologization of Indian Buddhism and the Worldwide spreading of sinologized Buddhism is very significant for the discussion about the development of Christianity in China in present globalization era. This paper takes the sinologization of Indian Buddhism as point of view, emphatically explores the questions of three aspects: (1) from the various problems evoked by the mutural collision between foreign religion and indigenous culture to review the process of sinologization of Buddhism and its wide spread and development in China. (2) to explore how sinologized Buddhism adhered to the basic belief and doctrine of Buddhism, and combined with Chinese traditional culture, represented Chinese character,therefore achieved successful transmission and development in China. (3) to explore the question of ecumanicalization and localization,and held that in the process of transmission and development of Christianity in China,it must treat the relation with Chinese society and culture very well,especially it must accommodate itself to socialist society.
