佛教文化影响力与信众的信仰偏好——基于宗教资本的视角

Influence of the Buddhist Culture and Religious Preference of Buddhists

佛教文化包括佛教的器物文化、制度文化、精神文化三个层面。从宗教资本的视角分析,佛教文化的影响力与信众信仰偏好之间具有较强的相关性。佛教文化所带来的影响力是双重的。佛教文化如何适应当代中国的社会发展以及信众的精神需求,是当代佛教文化发展面临的新挑战。在路径选择上,佛教文化建设需注意以下三个维度:一是时间维度,佛教文化建设需与时代发展相适应;二是内容维度,佛教文化需注重与信众内在结构的契合;三是空间维度,佛教文化需注重与社会演进的协调。

The Buddhist culture includes three levels of culture, i.e. utensils culture, institutional culture and spiritu- al culture of the Buddhism. By analyzing from the viewpoint of religious capital, we can see there are strong connec- tions between the influence of Buddhist culture and the religious preference of Buddhists. The Buddhist culture has du- al influence. The development of contemporary Buddhist culture is facing the new challenge of adapting to the social development of China and satisfying the spiritual needs of the believers. In constructing the Buddhist culture, we need to pay attention to three aspects, i.e. the Buddhist culture construction should be adapted to the development in the new era; the Buddhist culture should tally with the inner structure of the believers; and the Buddhist culture shall co- ordinate with social evolution.
