摘要
Along with reconstruction of Buddhist Monasteries on Wutaishan over the last three decades, religious practices on this Buddhist holy land has become evermore multi-faceted. In addition to the multi-ethnic, multi-schools of Buddhism inherited from the past, there are more and more folk religious elements intermingled not only within the sacred landscape but also in the Buddhist monasteries. From outside, the philosophical, enlightenment oriented, ethical aspects of traditional Buddhism are overshadowed by those worldly folk elements. Recent increase of folk religious elements is not a matter of the means for Buddhism to spread and accommodate itself to a new culture as happened in early times when Buddhism reached a new culture. Conversely Buddhism is now in the position of an officially recognised religion, but folk religion is still seen by the state at worst as superstition and at best being in the grey area between superstition and culture. So, folk religious practices are taking refuge in the Buddhist monasteries establish themselves. These are happening in the context of current social-political conditions, economic financial environments and religious cultural mentalities of both laities and monks. 在過去十多年間，在五臺山大規模重建佛教寺廟的同時，在此佛教聖地的宗教實踐變得日益多樣化。從過去遺傳下來的多民族、多教派以外，不僅在神聖地理景觀上，而且也在佛教寺廟裡融進了越來越多的民間宗教信仰的成分。從外面看，傳統佛教哲學的、以覺悟為目的、與倫理的方面被那些世俗的民間因素所掩蓋。 最近融進來的民間宗教因素不是佛教傳到某一地方的早期時代所發生的那樣是用來傳播和適應新文化的工具。相反地，佛教現在是官方承認的宗教，而民間宗教在最壞的時候被認作迷信，最好的時候也只是處於迷信與文化之間的灰色區域。所以民間宗教求助於佛教寺廟和場所來確立自己。這些都是在現今的社會政治條件、經濟財經環境、信徒與僧侶的宗教文化心態的背景下發生的。
