摘要
Buddhism was introduced to China from India during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) and during the following 500 years, it continued to develop. By the Sui (581 -618) and Tang (618-907) dynasties, Buddhist sects with Chinese characteristics were formed. Wenshu, Puxian, Guanyin and Dizang were the Buddhists mostly worshipped and the places where rites were held for worshipping them, Wutai Mountain, E'mei Mountain, Putuo Mountain and Jiuhua Mountain, have become famous among Chinese Buddhist believers.
佛教于东汉时期由印度传入中国,经三国、两晋到南北朝500年间,佛经翻译研究逐渐发达,到隋唐时便产生了天台、华严、维识、禅宗、净土、密宗等具有中国特色的宗派。据说,佛教的文殊、普贤、观音、地藏四佛与中国人香火缘深,为中国佛教的四在菩萨,他们”说法”的道场,则是中国佛教的四大名山,它们是:五台山、峨眉山、普陀山和九华山。
