世界名人谈佛教 (9)
宗教革命
两千五百年前,印度经历了一场思想和宗教革命,并以推翻一神论和婆罗门权威而告终,从而建立了一个群众性宗教,一个新的思潮和觉悟思想体系,这就是被人们惯以称谓的佛法——哲学宗教。
——阿拏伽里加·达摩波罗《世界永远感恩佛陀》
Religious
Revolution
Twenty—five centuries ago India witnessed
an intellectual and religious revolution which culminated in the
overthrow of monotheism, priestly selfishness, and the establishment
of a synthetic religion, a system of light and thought which was
appropriately called Dhamma— Philosophical Religion.
