Interpretation of the Integration and Interdependence of Central Plains'and Tibetan Buddhism in the Early Tang Dynasty
The Buddhism of the Central Plains linked the Tubo(the Ancient Tibet)with the Tang,and their inte-gration and interdependence began when the Confucian and Mencian theory of original goodness of human na-ture was revived,and the Confucian idea of the innate divine right was rejected in the Tang dynasty.In the early Tang Dynasty,emphasis was placed on"benevolence",which contributes to the reconciliation between the Tang and Tubo.The sinicization of Buddhism also took on a new face in the early Tang Dynasty,advocating the equali-ty of all sentient beings.Confucianism's"benevolence"was transformed into Buddhism's concept of"equality of all sentient beings",which formed the basic paradigm of Tubo's interaction with the Central Plains,i.e.,the fact that Buddhism was used as a means to refer to the ideology of the Tang Dynasty.This also illustrates that Bud-dhism began to be sinicized during the Tang Dynasty,while Buddhism was still far from being localized in the Tubo.and Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet meant that the accelerated mode of interaction and integration of the Tubo and the Central Plains was initiated.
