认知与误读——宋代儒士佛教思想论略

Cognation and Misunderstanding: Confucian View of Buddhism in Song Dynasty

至有宋一代,佛教已成为中国思想文化的一个重要组成部分。宋代儒士对佛教常识、佛教教义都有较深入的认知与把握,但也存在大面积的误读;宋代儒士一方面主观地批佛、排佛,另一方面却客观地成就了“批判的佛教”。宋代儒士对佛教的认识、理解和评价,不仅有助于弄清宋代新儒学与佛教之关系,也有助于进一步把握宋代学术之分野,而且可以加深我们对佛教中国化的理解。

In song dynasty, Buddhism has become an important forming section in Chinese thought and culture. There is a deep cognizance and comprehension about Buddhist general knowledge and its doctrines for Confucian scholars in Song dynasty. However, there also exists a lot of misreading in large area. On the one hand, the Confucianists in Song dynasty critized of Buddhism and discriminated against Buddhism subjectively, on the other hand, they formed a ＂critizing Buddhism＂ objectively. For us, the understanding, comprehension and appraisal of Buddhism from Confucian scholars in Song dynasty, not only contribute to clarifying the relation between the neo- Confucianism and Buddhism, but also contribute to grasping the demarcation of the academic in Song dynasty, and it is also conductive to understand the problem of indigentiation of Buddhism in china deeply.
