Abstract

This chapter attempts to reorient the question of the origins of the Mahāyāna away from single-hypothesis explanations by turning toward a more nuanced appreciation of the way some authors of its earliest literature actively engaged in efforts to recruit new members to the bodhisattva fold and retain them once they were in. Drawing from the sociology of New Religious Movements, I show that two voices among the earliest texts assumed very different postures with regard to bodhisattva relations with their Mainstream brethren.
早期菩萨社团的招募与保留
本章试图重新定位Mahāyāna的起源问题,远离单一假设的解释,转向更细致入微的欣赏其早期文献的一些作者积极参与努力招募新成员到菩萨圈,并在他们加入后保留他们的方式。根据新宗教运动的社会学,我展示了早期文本中的两种声音在菩萨与他们的主流兄弟的关系方面采取了非常不同的姿态。
