中国大陆佛教的本性回归及其资源的社会利用

Abstract

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Buddhism in Chinese mainland had gradually become tired of the world, escaping into the mountains, and even passing ghosts to death for died people, which had become the main job and means of making a living for monks. This is an abnormal phenomenon that deviates from the Buddha's original wish. Buddhism is originally living-human Buddhism, with distinct human nature, sociality and universality. It is not based on the ghosts and gods, but people-oriented, human-oriented and humanistic. Advocating the human nature of Buddhism in Chinese mainland is to return to the true character of Buddhism. It is not only the need of spreading Buddhism, but also the sustenance and expectation of the whole society to Buddhism to utilize the abundant Buddhist resources and carry forward the extensive and excellent Buddhist culture. Moreover, It is practicing the Buddha's decrees purpose and cherished desire. Properly open Buddhism to the society and make social use of Buddhist resources, there are four types macroscopically: religion, culture, service and philanthropy. Each type can have several practical and feasible subtypes for development and utilization. With the development of the times, more ways will be created and promoted. South Korea, Japan and our Taiwan province have made important contributions in these aspects and accumulated a lot of experience for reference. Their intellectual ideas and achievements are good teachers and friends for our practice and exploration.
