Suffering and Its Relief: A Buddhist Approach to Religious Pluralism 苦难及其救济:宗教多元化的佛教方法
C. Ives
A fruitful Buddhist approach to religious pluralism is to step away from viewing the plurality of religious traditions as different ways of getting at the Real or śūnyatā (à la John Hick and Masao Abe) and construe the plurality of religious traditions as different responses to core human problems, including what Buddhism designates as “suffering.” Along these lines, the Four Noble Truths can provide a template for encountering (and perhaps analyzing and categorizing) various religious traditions—for theorizing religious pluralism. At the practical level, with this approach Buddhists can build on dialogue with adherents of other traditions and engage in collaborative action with them in response to problems like violence and the climate crisis.
佛教对宗教多元主义的一个卓有成效的方法是,不再把宗教传统的多元性看作是达到真实或śūnyatā的不同方式(参见约翰·希克(John Hick)和阿部正雄(Masao Abe)),而是把宗教传统的多元性解释为对人类核心问题的不同回应,包括佛教所称的“苦难”。沿着这些思路,四圣谛可以提供一个模板,用来面对(也许是分析和分类)各种宗教传统,从而理论化宗教多元主义。在实践层面上,通过这种方法,佛教徒可以与其他传统的信徒建立对话,并与他们一起采取合作行动,以应对暴力和气候危机等问题。

The Dalai Lama and Religious Diversity 达赖喇嘛与宗教多样性
Abraham Vélez de Cea
The chapter introduces the Dalai Lama’s approach to religious diversity as formulated in Towards True Kinship of Faiths: How the World’s Religions Can Come Together. The first part explains the Dalai Lama’s ideal of interreligious harmony and the means to achieve it. Interreligious harmony requires various types of dialogue and the acknowledgment of fundamental differences among the religions. In order to achieve the ideal of interreligious harmony it is also necessary a balance between respectful acceptance of religious diversity and faithful commitment to one’s own tradition. The means to attain such balance is to uphold with integrity two distinct perspectives: the exclusivist perspective “one truth, one religion” in the context of individual practice, and the pluralist perspective “many truths, many religions” in the context of social interreligious relationships. The second part provides a sympathetic yet critical assessment of the Dalai Lama’s approach to religious diversity. It is argued that while the Dalai Lama’s proposal offers a robust foundation for accepting religious diversity, such acceptance is problematic because it is limited to the level of ethical teachings and confined to the context of social interactions.
本章介绍了达赖喇嘛在《走向信仰的真正亲缘关系:世界宗教如何走到一起》一书中阐述的宗教多样性的方法。第一部分阐述了达赖喇嘛的宗教间和谐理想及其实现途径。宗教间的和谐需要各种类型的对话和承认宗教之间的根本差异。为了实现宗教间和谐的理想,还需要在尊重地接受宗教多样性和忠实地致力于自己的传统之间取得平衡。实现这种平衡的手段是完整地坚持两种截然不同的观点:个人实践背景下的排他性观点“一个真理,一个宗教”,以及社会宗教间关系背景下的多元主义观点“许多真理,许多宗教”。第二部分对达赖喇嘛处理宗教多样性的方式进行了同情而又批判的评价。有人认为,虽然达赖喇嘛的提议为接受宗教多样性提供了坚实的基础,但这种接受是有问题的,因为它仅限于伦理教义的层面,局限于社会互动的背景。

Religious Diversity and Dialogue: A Buddhist Perspective 宗教多样性与对话:佛教视角
A. Tilakaratne
With the understanding that one’s views on religious diversity shapes one’s attitude to interreligious dialogue, in this chapter I try to articulate how the Buddha perceived the phenomenon of religious diversity and then to discuss how this perception could inform the Buddhist practice of interreligious dialogue. I begin this discussion with reference to the diversity of views held by the Roman Catholics themselves on interreligious dialogue and the Colonial and more recent history of dialogue in the local context of Sri Lanka. Next I move on to discuss Buddhism’s own self-understanding as a non-theistic system. In order to support the non-theistic claim of Buddhism I produce two arguments, one philosophical and the other experiential, both derived from the discourses of the Buddha. Having supported the non-theist stance of Buddhism, I propose that the Buddhist attitude is to be open to religious diversity while upholding the position that nirvana is the ultimate goal irreducible to any other similar goals. The discussion shows that to accept diversity is not necessarily to accept pluralism in religion, and that this position does not preclude Buddhists from engaging in interreligious dialogue.
了解到一个人对宗教多样性的看法会影响他对宗教间对话的态度,在本章中,我试图阐明佛陀是如何看待宗教多样性现象的,然后讨论这种看法如何影响佛教对宗教间对话的实践。在开始讨论时,我要提到罗马天主教徒自己对宗教间对话以及在斯里兰卡当地背景下的殖民地和较近的对话历史所持的不同观点。接下来,我将讨论佛教作为一种非有神论体系的自我理解。为了支持佛教非有神论的主张,我提出了两个论点,一个是哲学的,另一个是经验的,两者都来自佛陀的话语。在支持佛教的无神立场之后,我建议佛教的态度是对宗教多样性持开放态度,同时坚持涅槃是最终目标,不能简化为任何其他类似目标。讨论表明,接受多样性并不一定要接受宗教的多元主义,这一立场并不排除佛教徒参与宗教间对话。

Buddhism and the Religious Other: Twenty-First Century Dambulla and the Presence of Buddhist Exclusivism in Sri Lanka 佛教与宗教他者:21世纪的丹布拉与斯里兰卡佛教排外主义的存在
E. Harris
Buddhism is sometimes characterized as having an inclusivist attitude to the religious Other. In the second decade of the twenty-first century, however, an exclusivist approach to the religious Other emerged in Sri Lanka. Using the case study of a Buddhist temple in Dambulla, this chapter examines the conditioning factors behind this phenomenon. It is divided into four sections. The first examines recent theoretical approaches to Buddhism and inter-religious encounter, and argues that a spectrum of Buddhist approaches to the Other has long been present in text and tradition. The second offers background information about the Dambulla temple and its leading monk, Inamuluwe Sumangala Thero. The third explores three representations of the mosque attack, those of Sumangala, the Hindus of Dambulla, and secular analysts. The fourth suggests three conditioning factors for the dominance of Sumangala’s representation and the emergence of what could be considered an uncharacteristically exclusivist Buddhist approach to the religious Other within South Asian Buddhism.
佛教有时被描述为对宗教他者持包容态度。然而,在二十一世纪的第二个十年,斯里兰卡出现了一种对宗教他者的排他性态度。本章以丹布拉佛寺为例,探讨了这一现象背后的制约因素。它分为四个部分。第一部分考察了佛教和宗教间相遇的最新理论方法,并认为佛教对他者的一系列方法长期以来一直存在于文本和传统中。第二部分提供了关于丹布拉寺庙及其主要僧侣Inamuluwe Sumangala Thero的背景信息。第三部分探讨了清真寺袭击的三种说法,分别是苏曼加拉、丹布拉的印度教徒和世俗分析人士的说法。第四个部分提出了三个制约因素,这些因素导致了苏曼加拉的表现占主导地位,并在南亚佛教中出现了一种可以被认为是对宗教他者的非典型的排他性佛教方法。

Buddhism and Beyond: The Question of Pluralism 佛教及其以外:多元主义问题
D. Duckworth
This paper draws out some implications of the difference between Buddhist exclusivist and pluralist stances. A key difference rests on the interpretation of ultimate truth, and in particular, whether the ultimate truth of emptiness is interpreted as the indeterminate nature of reality or its undetermined nature. The difference between these interpretations marks a difference between a distinctively Buddhist view and a view that reaches beyond Buddhism.
本文对佛教排他主义与多元主义立场的差异进行了分析。一个关键的区别在于对终极真理的解释,特别是,空性的终极真理是被解释为实相的不确定本质还是不确定本质。这些解释之间的差异标志着一种独特的佛教观点和一种超越佛教的观点之间的差异。

The Buddha and the Diversity of Spiritual Paths 佛陀与精神道路的多样性
Bhikkhu Bodhi
This chapter contends that the historical Buddha is best understood as advocating an exclusivist view of other religions. Contrary to common belief, the Buddha, as represented by the Pali Nikāyas and their parallels, did not subscribe to the view that the ultimate goal of the spiritual life could be attained through diverse spiritual paths but rather that the ultimate goal is accessible solely through the noble eightfold path, the distinctive discovery of the sammā-sambuddhas, those who attain perfect enlightenment. Nevertheless, through the centuries Buddhism has displayed an impressive tolerance in its relationship to other faiths. The chapter explains this apparently paradoxical attitude on the basis of a dual perspective that the Buddha adopts on the diversity of spiritual paths. On the one hand, he asserts that the eightfold path is the sole means to the final goal of the spiritual life, irreversible release from the cycle of repeated birth and death. At the same time the cosmology of Early Buddhism allows a more accommodative stance according to which the provisional goal of the spiritual life, the achievement of a blissful rebirth, is not exclusive to the Buddha’s teaching but can be reached through other faith commitments.
本章认为,历史上的佛陀最好被理解为主张对其他宗教的排他主义观点。与普遍的信念相反,以巴利语Nikāyas及其相似之处为代表的佛陀,并不认同精神生活的最终目标可以通过多种精神道路达到的观点,而是认为最终目标只能通过崇高的八正道,即sammā-sambuddhas的独特发现,即那些获得完美启蒙的人。然而,几个世纪以来,佛教在与其他信仰的关系中表现出了令人印象深刻的宽容。这一章解释了这种明显矛盾的态度的基础上的双重视角,佛陀采取的精神道路的多样性。一方面,他断言八正道是通往精神生活最终目标的唯一途径,从重复的生死循环中不可逆转地解脱出来。与此同时,早期佛教的宇宙观允许一种更宽容的立场,根据这种立场,精神生活的临时目标,即实现幸福的重生,不是佛陀的教义所独有的,而是可以通过其他信仰承诺来实现的。

Paths of Liberation? Theravāda Buddhist Approaches to Religious Diversity 解放之路?Theravāda佛教对宗教多样性的看法
Perry Schmidt-Leuikel
Distinguishing between “tolerance” and “appreciation”, this chapter asks to what extent Theravādins are able to appreciate other religious traditions as means or paths of liberation/salvation. After clarifying the conditions of enlightenment as taught in classical Theravāda, and the three types of enlightened persons that Theravāda admits, the chapter presents and discusses exclusivist, inclusivist and pluralist stances as they are taken from a Theravāda background. It argues that the doctrinal presuppositions of classical Theravāda (especially the idea of only one Buddha and saṅgha at a time) have a strong tendency toward exclusivism which was apparently the dominant position of the past. Further, the chapter looks at the arguments of some Theravādins who, in the twentieth century, moved toward an inclusivist understanding of non-Buddhist religions, and finally presents the position of Buddhadāsa as an example of a Theravāda pluralist.
区分“宽容”和“欣赏”,本章询问Theravādins在多大程度上能够欣赏其他宗教传统作为解放/救赎的手段或途径。在澄清了古典Theravāda所教导的启蒙条件,以及Theravāda所承认的三种开明人士之后,本章从Theravāda的背景出发,提出并讨论了排他主义、包容主义和多元主义的立场。它认为,古典Theravāda的教义预设(特别是一次只有一个佛陀和saṅgha的想法)有一种强烈的排他主义倾向,这显然是过去的主导地位。此外,本章着眼于一些Theravādins的论点,他们在20世纪走向了对非佛教宗教的包容主义理解,并最终将Buddhadāsa的立场作为Theravāda多元主义者的一个例子。

Was the Buddha an Exclusivist? 佛陀是排他主义者吗?
Abraham Vélez de Cea
This chapter challenges exclusivist interpretations of the Buddha, and proposes alternative readings of early Buddhist texts that allow for the existence of the ultimate goal of the spiritual life outside Buddhism. The chapter clarifies the differences between exclusivist and non-exclusivist exegesis of the Buddha and suggests that exclusivist readings of his thought are a later scholastic development in the history of Buddhism. The main thesis of the chapter is that the Buddha cannot be considered an exclusivist because he did not understand the Dhamma and self-enlightened beings (paccekabuddhas) in sectarian terms as being the monopoly of any school. What the Buddha excludes from being paths to the final goal of the spiritual life are specific teachings incompatible with the Dhamma and the Noble Eightfold Path. This exclusion of specific teachings rather than of entire schools entails “specific exclusivism,” which is different from holding a sectarian “exclusivist view” of all non-Buddhists traditions anywhere and at any time.
本章挑战了对佛陀的排他性解释,并提出了对早期佛教文本的其他解读,这些解读允许佛教之外精神生活的最终目标的存在。本章澄清了排他和非排他释经的区别,并指出排他释经是佛教史上较晚的学术发展。这一章的主要论点是,佛陀不能被认为是一个排他主义者,因为他不理解佛法和自证众生(paccekabdhas)在宗派方面是任何学派的垄断。佛陀排除的通往精神生活最终目标的道路是与佛法和八正道不相容的特定教义。这种对特定教义的排除,而不是对整个宗派的排除,需要“特定的排他主义”,这不同于对任何地方、任何时间的所有非佛教传统持有宗派的“排他主义观点”。

Finding the Right Questions about Religious Diversity: What Buddhist Could Contribute to Discussions of Religious Diversity 寻找关于宗教多样性的正确问题:佛教对宗教多样性讨论的贡献
Rita M. Gross
This chapter argues that all current theologies of religion share the presupposition that differences among religions are a problem, even a mistake, and that unity or agreement would be preferable to difference and religious diversity. But theologians of religion need to start at the other end of the puzzle, conceding from the get-go that religious diversity is here to stay, is inevitable, normal, natural, and, therefore, not the major problem or issue. The important questions are not about them, the others who are different from us, but about us. Why do we dislike diversity so much? Why does it make us so uncomfortable? Why does difference so frequently elicit the response of ranking the different options hierarchically? And, most important of all, how can we cure our own discomfort with diversity? The chapter also suggests that we need to practice the spiritual disciplines that help us overcome our egocentric preferences for a world in which everyone else would be just like us and can, instead, live comfortable in a world that accommodates vast differences.
本章认为,所有当前的宗教神学都有一个前提,即宗教之间的差异是一个问题,甚至是一个错误,统一或一致比差异和宗教多样性更可取。但是研究宗教的神学家需要从困惑的另一端开始,从一开始就承认宗教多样性是不可避免的、正常的、自然的,因此不是主要问题或议题。重要的问题不是关于他们,那些与我们不同的人,而是关于我们自己。为什么我们如此不喜欢多样性?为什么它让我们如此不舒服?为什么差异总是引起人们对不同选择进行等级排序的反应?最重要的是,我们如何才能治愈自己对多样性的不适?本章还建议,我们需要练习精神训练,帮助我们克服以自我为中心的偏好,在这个世界上,其他人都和我们一样,可以在一个容纳巨大差异的世界里舒适地生活。

Openness towards the Religious Other in Buddhism 佛教对宗教他者的开放
C. Roloff
This chapter argues that in Buddhism—irrespective of the religious other’s understanding of ultimate reality—there is potential for fruitful exchange and common ground with other religions. For the peaceful and respectful coexistence of religious communities it is crucial to address—and not to exclude or minimize—the different views of their respective religious truths. Cultivating an inner attitude of benevolence and openness will prove advantageous for our interaction with others. Three central Buddhist teachings are analyzed in view of their potential for openness towards the religious others in theory and in practice: the Four Immeasurables, the Skill in Liberative Technique and the Two Truths. These teachings, although not explicitly spoken about, still have the potential to generate openness towards and elaborate on the religious other with reference to modern societies in the 21st century.
本章认为,在佛教中,无论宗教他人对终极现实的理解如何,都有可能与其他宗教进行富有成效的交流和共同基础。为了宗教团体的和平与尊重共存,解决——而不是排斥或最小化——对各自宗教真理的不同看法是至关重要的。培养一种内心的仁慈和开放的态度将有利于我们与他人的互动。本文分析了佛教的三个核心教义,从理论和实践的角度分析了它们对宗教他人开放的潜力:四无量、解脱技巧和两谛。这些教义虽然没有被明确提及,但仍有可能在21世纪的现代社会中产生对宗教他者的开放和阐述。
