Commentary on Buddhism Policy of the BeiSong Dynasty

北宋各朝统治者对佛教采取的措施有所不同,但对佛教态度的总体精神基本上一脉相承开国皇帝宋太祖。具体来说,北宋佛教政策的主旨有如下几个方面:保存佛教;允许佛教适度规模地发展;支持、参与佛教活动;不同程度的限制。北宋佛教政策总体来说是成功的,开明的,当然也有一些缺点和不足之处。

Every dominator of the BeiSong Dynasty took different steps on Buddhism Policy. However, the collectivity way basically came down in one continuous line. Specifically, the Buddhism Policy of the BeiSong Dynasty included several aspects： preserve Buddhism; allowing moderate scale development of Buddhism; supporting and participating in the activities of Buddhism; restrict in different degrees. Generally speaking, Buddhism Policy of the BeiSong Dynasty is prosperous and enlightened. Of course, there are also some shortcomings and inadequacies.
