扩大中国文学版图 建构中国佛教诗学——《中国佛教文学史》编撰刍议

中国佛教文学史就是中国佛教徒创作的文学的历史,就是佛教实践即佛教修持与佛教弘传过程中产生的文学的历史,就是用汉语、西域胡语、藏语、蒙古语、傣语等语种写成的大中华佛教文学的历史。"中国佛教文学史"的书写应该禀持民族本位立场和教派史视野,全面清理中国佛教文学的历史进程,并进而提炼民族精神、建构宗教诗学。"中国佛教文学史"的书写特别要关注印度佛教在中国各民族地区的本土化进程以及汉语佛教在东北亚、东南亚地区的本土化进程,在民族互动和国际交流中探讨宗教实践对社会和谐、文明演进的重大贡献。

Modest Proposal on the Compilation of A History of Chinese Buddhist Literature

The history of Chinese Buddhist literature is the history when Chinese Buddhists produce literary works,the history when in the procedure of Buddhism practice and dissemination Chinese Buddhists produce literary accomplishments,and is the history of the Great China Buddhist literature written by Chinese,"Hu" language of western region,Tibetan,Mongolian,Dai and other branches of languages.The position of national culture and the sight of sects ought to be kept when writing A History of Chinese Buddhist Literature,and meanwhile the historical course of Buddhist literature is to be straightened all sidedly,helping to extract the national spirit and to construct religious poetics.When writing A History of Chinese Buddhist Literature,two points should be paid close attention that the localization of Indian Buddhism in all localities and all ethnic groups of China and the localization of Buddhism written in Chinese in northeastern Asia,and also that the significant contribution to the social harmony and the progress in the civilization achievedby,Southeasten Asia,ethnic interaction and international communication investigating religious practices.
