摘要
汉文摩尼教典籍中的“平等王”并非如某些学者所言,相当于中国佛教中的“阎罗王”,而应是该教的主神之一“夷数”,其原型来自基督教的“耶稣”。此外,东方摩尼教的“轮回”观也颇异于佛教:它以人间为“地狱”,视再世为人为最痛苦的“轮回”。因此,人们在热衷于探讨东方摩尼教深受佛教“影响”的同时,切毋忽视了它“多取形式,保留内涵”的特点。
As one of main gods in Manichaeism, King of the justice in Chinese classics of Manichaeism was not the King of Hell in Chinese Buddhism but was Yishu, which originated from Jenus Christ. Besides, eastern Manichaeism took the world as hell and its conceptions on rebirth were also different from that of Buddhism. So it was worth pointing out that we should paid attention to Manichaeism's characteristic of keeping essence when discussing about Buddhism's impact on it.
