從《金剛經注》及詩文雜記論俞樾的佛教認知與日常實踐=Research on the Cognition and Practice of Yu Yue(俞樾) in Buddhism by the Annotation of Vajracchedikā-prajñāpāramitā-sūtra (Diamond Sutra 金剛經) and other Writings
Yu Yue俞樾 (1821-1907), a famous Confucian scholar in late Chinese Empire, not only annotated Confucian classics, but also Buddhist scriptures. Yu Yue annotated the famous Buddhist scripture Vajracchedikā-prajñāpāramitā-sūtra (Diamond Sutra 金剛經) by annotating Confucian classics. He did not realize the particularity of the translated text. On the other hand, the daily religious activities reflected in Yu Yue's works show that his understanding of Buddhist teachings does not originate from the classics, but from popular religious practices. Yu Yue's knowledge system was based on Confucian classics, but that was not enough to solve the dilemmas of his life. Yu Yue is not a special case, many modern professional scholars may have the same situation. Different from the modern scholars who led the ＂ Buddhist revival ＂, Yu Yue's performance is another way of studying modern Buddhism that deserves attention.
