| 摘要 | A central figure in Dispelling the Darkness: A Jesuit's Quest for the Soul of Tibet, the Italian Jesuit priest Ippolito Desideri (1684–1733), is best known for two achievements. First, he arrived in Lhasa in March 1716 and reopened the Christian mission in Tibet after the first attempt to establish a mission there by António de Andrade (1580–1634) ended after only a brief time. Second, Desideri studied in monasteries in Ramoché and Sera and produced a number of writings on Buddhism and Christianity in Tibetan and European languages. Missionaries and Christians in Japan and China frequently discussed and criticized Buddhism in their writings, including, for example, Alessandro Valignano's Nihon no katekizumo 日本のカテキズモ (Catechism of Japan) and Matteo Ricci's Tianzhu Shiyi 天主實義 (The true meaning of the Lord of Heaven). However, according to an article by the Buddhist scholar Ocho Enichi 横超 慧日, the missionaries’ conceptions of important Buddhist terms, such as emptiness (śūnyatā) in Tianzhu Shiyi, are Confucianized, indicating that they had obtained their knowledge of Buddhism from Confucian literati.Footnote1 It appears that the missionaries in Japan delved into Buddhism at a deeper level than their colleagues in China because Buddhism had deeper roots in Japanese society than any other religion or philosophy. They used a variety of terms derived from Buddhism not only to criticize Buddhism but also to translate Christianity into the local language.Footnote |
