佛教在中国成功地实现了大众化。立足于佛教大众化与马克思主义大众化的异同,在马克思主义大众化过程中,要高度重视知识阶层的关键作用,要增强马克思主义的包容性、开放性,推动马克思主义与中国传统文化之间的交融,要推动马克思主义的简约化、通俗化和实用化,要多途径、多式样地推动马克思主义大众化进程,要吸收心性理论,为民众提供实现身心和谐、安身立命的重要内容。

This article compares the history and characteristics of the massification of Buddhism and that of Marxism;and points out that the massification of Buddhism has important implications for that of Marxism.To popularize Marxism,the critical role of Marxist intellectuals should be enhanced,and efforts should be made to make Marxism more tolerant and more open,to promote the blending of Marxism with traditional Chinese culture,and to simplify Marxism so that it is more practical and accessible to the populace.It is also necessary to absorb such nutrients as regarding ＂heart and nature＂ so that Marxism can offer an approach to mental harmony and happy life.
