中国近代佛教的再思考

RETHINKING FOR CHINESE BUDDHIST IN MODERN TIME

从逻辑框架上看,中国近代佛教呈现寺僧、居士、学者三种形态,分别以卫教、弘法、济学为重心;知解、信行两种方法;通经致用、探赜索隐两条道路;哲学、历史、科学三个领域。就内容而言,知解重于信行,学理盛于教宗,也就是说,与僧团活动相比较,学术研究占据主要地位。

There are three forms of Buddhist in the modern time of China. They are Buddhists of monks, Upasaka or Upasika(Jushi), and scholars. Monks focus their efforts on selves defence for Sangha. Upasakas focus their efforts on publicizing Buddhism. It is interested in academic research that scholars study Buddhist. So in the Modern time of China, Worldly-Buddhist becomes main trend, Upasaka-Buddhist spring up, scholars interpret Buddhism in selves idea. There are two methods of knowledge and practice Buddhism, two research orientations of serving country and society, and academy research. Academy research was more important than factional action of Buddhist.
