【摘要】：美国佛教具有移民性和族群性的双重特点,亚裔佛教徒约占全美佛教徒的70%—80%,非亚裔佛教徒,主要包括欧裔、非裔和拉美裔佛教徒。佛教徒的身份,有助于彼此超越族群之间的界限。美国的华裔佛教徒,其佛教身份能淡化华人在美国的族群意识,拉近与美国主流社会的距离,同时强化了与中国文化的传统联系,并能借此形成复杂的社会关系网络。也就是说,在美国这样的移民社会里,宗教徒身份并没有加剧族群或宗教之间的矛盾与冲突。若能彰显宗教的文化内涵,淡化族群的政治色彩,在人口流动日趋频繁的全球化时代,宗教徒身份有利于构建多元一体的文化体系和社会结构。当然,宗教信仰代表某种价值观或道德伦理,外来宗教徒首先需要尊重当地的社会风俗或主流价值,否则难有立足之地。
[Abstract]:American Buddhism has the dual characteristics of immigration and ethnicity. Asian Buddhists account for about 70- 80 percent of the Buddhists in the United States. Non-Asian Buddhists include mainly European, African and Latino Buddhists.Buddhists help each other transcend ethnic boundaries.The Buddhist identity of Chinese Buddhists in the United States can desalinate the ethnic consciousness of Chinese in the United States, draw closer the distance from the mainstream society of the United States, at the same time strengthen the traditional connection with Chinese culture, and form a complex social relationship network.In other words, in an immigrant society like the United States, religious identity does not exacerbate conflicts between ethnic groups and religions.If we can show the cultural connotation of religion and desalinate the political color of ethnic groups, in the era of globalization with increasing population mobility, religious identity is conducive to the construction of a pluralistic cultural system and social structure.Of course, religious belief represents a certain value or moral ethics, foreign religions must first respect the local social customs or mainstream values, otherwise there is no place to stand.
