摘要
美国汉学家芮沃寿的《中国历史中的佛教》,以一种他者的目光,考量了印度佛教进入中国的历史过程.在这一过程中,作者采取了一种历时性模式,并将中国的文化视为一种连续性整体.而跟随着芮沃寿的目光,读者可以明了印度佛教进入中国及其被中国化的种种是非得失.如果离开了佛教这一他者的深度参与、构成和塑造,中国的文化和文明的整全性则是不可能的.而如何对待佛教这一异质的他者,则在方法论上向既有基础和立场提出了严肃挑战.
Abstract
The American sinologist Arthur Wright's book of Buddhism in Chinese History considers the historical process of Indian Buddhism entering China from a perspective of others.In this process,the author adopts a historical mode and views Chinese culture as a consecutive entirety.From his eyes,we can understand the pros and cons of sinicization of Buddhism.The latter can help us clarify the generation mechanism and local manifestation of this composite cultural system.If we've missed the deep participation,composition and shaping of Buddhism,that the comprehensiveness of Chinese culture and civilization is impossible.How to treat Buddhism as heterogeneous other poses a serious challenge to our existing foundation and stance in methodology,which forces us to re-examine the relationship between ourselves and the others.
