民间佛道融合现象考察

佛教理论的世俗化和道教教义的民间化,为佛道二教的融合提供了可能。信众只从自身需求出发、不分教派的信仰行为使佛道二教界限趋于模糊。观音与慈航、地藏与药王等＂兼职＂现象,进一步强化了佛道二教彼此的融合。这种融合表现在：寺庙和道观的建筑规制高度一致;民间信众佛道不分;民间佛道二教的宗教活动内容基本相同。

Research on Fusion of Civilian Buddhism and Civilian Taoism

The secularization of Buddhist theory and the popularization of Taoist doctrine provide chances for the fusion of Buddhism and Taoism.Based on their own concrete situations,believers made their own decisions on choosing specific religion to believe in.It is this phenomenon that blurs the differences between the two religions.In reality,between Avalokitesvara and Cihong as well as Ksitigarbha and Yaowang,there are alike duties.It is this phenomenon that reinforces the fusion of these two religions.The fusion is manifested in the following ways: the building regulations of the Buddhist monastery and Taoist temple are highly consistent;in believing,folks think no difference in Buddhism and Taoism;the religious activities of civilian Buddhism and civilian Taoism are roughly the same.
