找寻都市寺院中原真性叙事——一项基于四川省W寺的个案研究

Authentic Narratives of Urban Temples:A Case Study of Temple W in Sichuan Province

在W寺的田野工作表明,地方性与差异化的城市公共空间不仅是作为部分城市居民的“心灵家园”,同样也作为一种特色的休憩空间嵌入进了市民的日常生活之中。W寺的案例展示了一种可能,即都市寺院作为宗教机构与道场所具有的反世俗社会利的他主义精神气质,赋予了参与进寺院生活之中的不同身份和地位的群体一种权利——不再是扮演一个被动的消费者而是一个作为佛教文化与寺院生活的参与者与体验者的权利,即作为都市寺院中的原真性。

Western scholars’ discussion of urban spaces’ diversity and authenticity is a localized interpretation of the current urban China.On the one hand,the government and capital work together to recreate the old city as a new type of consumption space while dissolving local social relations,resulting in the colonization of capital to the world of civic life.On the other hand,the field work at the urban temples shows that the local and differentiated urban public space is not only a“spiritual home”for some urban residents,but also a special leisure space embedded in the daily life of the citizens.In life.The case of Temple W shows the possibility that urban monasteries,as religious institutions and space,have an anti-secular social philosophical ethos,giving a group of different identities and status to participate in the life of the temple - a right - It is no longer a passive consumer but a right as a participant and an experiencer of Buddhist culture and monastic life,that is,the authenticity of an urban temple.
