从禅宗观点看未来基督教的走向

Future Direction of Christianity from View of Zen

除了民族文化的差异外,基督教与禅宗两者之间的主要差异并非是在万物起源的解释上,而是主要体现在拯救心灵的途径上。与禅法思想相比较,归纳起来,基督教教义中有关拯救途径主要基于原罪论(生来有罪)、信靠论(上帝主权)、预定论(事先拣选)这三条原教旨之上,远没有完全自信自立自成的禅法途径彻底。因此,只有破除外在的权威"上帝",才可以使基督教进一步向着更高宗教形态阶段发展,而目前非实在论基督教正是在这一意义上代表着基督教的发展走向。当然,基督教要达到禅宗倡导的思想高度,未来还有很多的路要走。我们衷心希望,像那种贴近日常生活的非实在论基督教,能够更多地融入禅宗的思想,发展得更加完善。

In addition to the cultural differences, the main differences between Christianity and Zen are not on the interpretation of the origin of all things, but mainly in the way of saving soul. Compared with the thoughts of Zen, the saving ways in doxies of Christianity mainly lie in three fundamental- isms, and they are theory of original sin （born guilty）, trust （god＇ s sovereignty） and reservation （chosen in advance） , which is not completely self-confidence, self-reliance of its own method like Zen way. Only broke out the authority of the external ＂god＂, can the Christian religious form get fur- ther development toward a higher stage. While the un-realism of Christianity, in this sense, repre- sents the development trend of Christianity recently. Of course, Christianity still has a long way to go to reach the highly thought that Zen advocated. We sincerely hope that the un-realism Christian that is sort of close to the daily life can involve more into the thought of Zen and have more perfect develop-merit.
