| 摘要 | Western studies of Buddhism emphasize doctrine and meditation，but almost completely ignore devotional practice. Yet，obeisance to Buddha is the primary religious practice of the majority of Asian Buddhists. To account for this disparity，I explore the history of Protestant attitudes towards bowing. In English and German anti-Catholic polemics (and Catholic responses)，Chinese and Catholic obeisance are conflated，the lowness of their prostrations emphasized in contrast to the erectness of Protestant posture in worship. I survey two important encyclopedias of religion (Hastings' of 1914 and Eliade's of 1987)，and the work of one of the founders of sociology，Herbert Spencer，to show the persistance of these perspectives on obeisance. Finally I suggest possible extensions of the theoretical concerns of this paper. |
