发挥佛教在中印文化交流中的纽带作用--以戴季陶访印期间的两块碑志为例

摘要

1940年11-12月，戴季陶访印期间在中国学院和中华佛寺勒石为记，强调佛教之于中印双方文化交流的历史与现实意义，这两块碑志已成为中印两国抗战时期文化交流的重要见证。我们将以这两块碑志为例，进一步探讨近代中印双方以佛教作为文化交流纽带的共识是如何形成的，而且这种在特定时期形成的共识是否还具有当代价值等问题。%In order to emphasize the significance of Buddhism for the history and reality of China-India cultural engagement, Dai Jitao erected two monuments in Cheena Bhavan and Chinese Temple in November-December 1940. The two monuments are eye-witness of Sino-Indian cultural exchanges in the WW II. This paper will pay special attention to how the consensus on perceiving Buddhism as a bridge of cultural engagement between both was reached, as well as its relevance today.
