藏传佛教中国化视域下的世俗化概念适用性探讨

A Discussion on the Applicability of the Secularization from the Perspective of Sinicization of Tibetan Buddhism

藏传佛教中国化是新时代党的治藏方略的重要内容,是坚持宗教中国化方向的具体实践,亟需构建以藏传佛教中国化为基础的学术话语体系。长期以来,以基督教为背景的世俗化理论由于暗合了西藏“政教合一”的历史背景以及民主改革后藏传佛教发展的某些现象,被一些研究者用在对藏传佛教的阐释中,实则是对藏传佛教中国化在起因、过程与结果上的误读。藏传佛教中国化应正确对待西方宗教观念的介入和影响,实现自身由政治术语向学术话语的转向,在国家与社会的结构性关系中建构具有中国宗教社会学意义的理论体系。

Sinicization of Tibetan Buddhism is an important part of Communist Party of China's gover-ning Tibet strategies in the new era. It is also a concrete practice of continuous of promoting Sinicizationof Buddhism policies. Therefore,the establishment of academic discourse system based onSinicization of Tibetan Buddhism is crucial and urgently needed. For a long time,secularization theorybased on Christian research findings has been adopting by some scholars to study the developmentof Tibetan Buddhism as these theories describes similar caesaropapism background andsome phenomena in the development of Tibetan Buddhism after Chinese Democratic Reforms. However,this article argues that secularization theory is not suitable to study the origin,process andresults of Sinicization of Tibetan Buddhism. And the author of this article suggests a proper academicattitude should be adopted when studying Sinicization of Tibetan Buddhism as to boost thechanging "Sinicization of Tibetan Buddhism" from a political term to an academic topic and toestablish a theoretical system with Chinese religious sociology characters in the structural relationshipsbetween the country and the society.
