电子媒介与当代佛教及信徒生活

Electronic Media,Contemporary Buddhism and Believers’ Life

现代电子媒介在对日常生活的渗透中逐渐深入到宗教信仰领域,并作为一种宗教传播手段被使用。各种佛教网站及电视、电脑等媒介,通过对信息的可视化、动态化、影像化以及循环化播放,扩大受众范围,形塑人们的思想行为。形式多样的电子媒介对佛教信徒的影响有着差异化与层次化的特点。作为受众的普通信众和僧人,并不是被动接受者,他们会根据自己的物质条件、思想层次、实际生活需求以及权利义务职责来进行相关信息的筛选和接受,加以理解内化,并且运用于自己的实际生活之中。

Modern electronic media not only penetrates into daily life,but also into the field of religious belief used as a kind of communication means. Through the visual,dynamic,and circulated information,all kinds of Buddhist sites,TV,computer and other medias expand the scope of audience so that people’s thoughts and actions have been shaped. The influence of various forms of electronic media on Buddhists is characterized by differentiation and gradation. Meanwhile,the believers and monks are not passive receivers. They would filter and accept the information,according to their material conditions,ideological level,the need of actual life,the rights and obligations,and finally try to understand and apply them in their daily lives.
