| 摘要 | This paper aims to expand the understanding of Guanyin’s reception in the West outside of immigrant and convert Buddhist communities by examining her role in the apologetics of Filianism—a new religious movement that first appeared in England in the 1970s. Although this religion participated in some of the same currents of thought that birthed contmporary feminist and Goddess spiritualities, it has historically defined itself against these and displays more commonality with its Roman Catholic origins. This study therefore focuses on how the symbolism of Guanyin has served Filianic writers as a touchpoint for mediating their relationship with Roman Catholicism, not only by explicating and legitimating their distinctive re-reading of Marian iconography, but also through leveraging Western receptions of Buddhism as a proxy for a criticism of the Second Vatican Council. Although Filianism is far from being the only movement originating in Europe to accord Guanyin a prominent place in its teachings and self-presentation, its thealogical focus on the nature of the bodhisattva in dialogue with received traditions of popular Marian veneration distinguishes it notably from the majority of non-Buddhist Western receptions of Guanyin, which have tended to employ her as a more generically “feminist” figure with comparatively minimal engagement with specifically Buddhist teachings. As a case study, Filianic readings of Guanyin therefore appear to offer the clearest example of a genuinely syncretic exchange in a Western context, expanding our perspective on the influence of Buddhist thought and culture within a reciprocal process of religious globalization. |
