中国宗教:未曾经历革命及其归宿

Chinese Religions; No Experience of Revolution and Its Result

宗教只有两种:自然历史进程的与革命的。中国宗教是自然历史进程的,也即没有经历革命。这具体包括两个方面:第一,中国宗教并未发生革命;第二,中国宗教也未接受革命。没有经历革命的现实对中国的宗教生活产生了深刻的影响。就中国的主要宗教而言,道教从一开始就是自然宗教的;佛教最终也回归为自然宗教的。

Religions just fall into two types; natural and revolutionary religions. The Chinese religions belong to the natural, thai is, they haven' t experienced any revolution. This includes two aspects: firstly, no revolution of religion has ever taken place in China; secondly, the Chinese religions haven't accepted any revolution. No experience of any revolution has deeply influenced the life of Chinese religions. As far as major Chinese religions are concerned, Taoism has been a natural religion from the very beginning, while Buddhism finally also turned back into a natural religion.
