日本奈良平安时期神佛习合思想的形成及其影响

On the Formation and Influence about Syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism in Nara and Heian Period of Japan

神佛习合思想是日本思想史上的重要一环。奈良平安时期作为民族宗教的神道这一日本本土文化在吸收佛教这一外来文化的过程中采取一种包容的态度,以神佛习合这样一种比较灵活的方式使得作为本土文化的神道得以延续和发展。探讨奈良平安时期的神佛习合思想的形成过程,分析该时期神佛习合思想形成后产生的影响,有助于我们进一步了解日本神道和日本佛教。

Syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism is one of the most important link in Japanese intellectual history. As a local reli- gion, Shinto took an inclusive attitude to external Buddhism, and took a flexible way to help itself develop in Nara and Heian period. It helps us understand better Japanese Shinto and Buddhism if a discussion is held on how syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism was formed and what influence it had in Nara and Heian period.
