禅林传统寺院经济及其现代启示

Traditional Monastic Economy and Its Modern Revelation

禅林寺院经济是以僧众集体所有为主,兼有某些公有、私有性质的特殊经济形式,其间保留了"一日不作,一日不食"的优良传统及与小农经济和现代社会不断相适应的鲜明特色。传统寺院经济在僧人不为寺产拖累,努力营造良好的社会环境,努力回报社会,加强僧团建设和科学民主管理等方面对于现代寺院建设有重要的启示。

Monastic economy is a special economic system which keeps monks-collective-ownership as the mainstay of the economy and allows certain public ownership and private ownership to exist.It retains a fine tradition：＂one day without work,one day without food＂ and a distinct feature：monastic economy makes itself constantly adapt to small-scale peasant economy and modern society.In traditional monastic economy system,property in monastery is not an obstacle to monks.And the traditional monastic economy system has an important revelation to construction of the modern monastery in terms of striving to create a favorable social environment,to get in return society,to strengthen the Sangha construction and democratic management scientifically.
