| 摘要 | This annotated translation of an early ninth-century essay by the Hua-yen and Ch'an scholar Kuei-feng Tsung- mi (780-841) provides the nonspecialist a window through which to survey the landscape of medieval Chinese Buddhist thought. Unlike other more technical expositions of Buddhist teachings, Inquiry into the Origin of Humanity (Y=FCan jen lun) does not presuppose a detailed knowledge of Buddhist doctrine. In a brief and accessible fashion，it presents a systematic overview of the major teachings within Chinese Buddhism. The organizational framework used by Tsung-mi，moreover，illustrates one of the primary methods devised by Chinese Buddhists to organize and make sense out of the diverse body of eachings they received from India. Finally，Tsung-mi's essay is especially noteworthy in that it sheds light on the interaction of Buddhism with the indigenous intellectual and religious traditions of Confucianism and Taoism. The modern commentary tries to bridge the temporal and cultural gap separating contemporary Western readers from the text's intended medieval Cinese audience. |
