Abstract

Aihua Zheng is Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Religious Studies and the Department of History at the University of Iowa. This article examines how the Japanese Buddhist delegates to the World’s Parliament of Religions in 1893 prepared in Japan for their task of representing Japanese Buddhism to the West. From the late 1880s to the early 1890s, the Japanese Buddhist community was connected through the popular press, print media, and private organizations, which facilitated their resource sharing. The national network empowered the Japanese to collaborate with Buddhists in South Asia and with supporters in the West and participated in their pan-Asian networking. Through these networks, a group of internationally minded Japanese Buddhists helped the delegates gain information and resources to prepare a version of Japanese Buddhism acceptable to most domestic sects. Moreover, the delegates decided to portray their faith as a Japanese-style Mahāyāna tradition in line with the Western view of Buddhism. Their popularity in Chicago contributed to the globalization and revival of Japanese Buddhism.

佛教网络:1892年至1893年日本为世界宗教大会所做的准备
郑爱华是爱荷华大学宗教研究系和历史系的客座助理教授。本文考察了1893年参加世界宗教议会的日本佛教代表是如何在日本为他们向西方代表日本佛教的任务做准备的。从19世纪80年代末到19世纪90年代初,日本佛教界通过大众媒体、印刷媒体和私人组织建立了联系,这促进了他们的资源共享。国家网络使日本人能够与南亚的佛教徒和西方的支持者合作,并参与他们的泛亚网络。通过这些网络,一群具有国际思想的日本佛教徒帮助代表们获得信息和资源,准备一个大多数国内教派都能接受的日本佛教版本。此外,代表们决定将他们的信仰描绘成符合西方佛教观的日本式Mahāyāna传统。它们在芝加哥的流行为日本佛教的全球化和复兴做出了贡献。
