摘要

佛教经典将流行病的兴起描述为宇宙的必然性，并规定了各种预防和治疗流行病的方法，主要集中在净化负面业力和驱除负责其传播的超自然生物。随着这些思想传入中国，中国佛教徒将其同化为本土信仰，这些信仰也将流行病描述为鬼魂对不道德行为的惩罚。

Epidemics and Plague in Premodern Chinese Buddhism

Buddhist scriptures describe the rise of epidemics as a cosmological inevitability and prescribe a variety of methods for preventing and treating epidemic diseases, which focus mainly on purifying negative karma and exorcizing the supernatural beings responsible for their spread. As these ideas were transmitted to China, Chinese Buddhists assimilated them to indigenous beliefs that also portrayed epidemics as retribution for nonvirtuous behavior, enacted by ghostly agents.

期刊介绍： Asian Medicine -Tradition and Modernity is a multidisciplinary journal aimed at researchers and practitioners of Asian Medicine in Asia as well as in Western countries. It makes available in one single publication academic essays that explore the historical, anthropological, sociological and philological dimensions of Asian medicine as well as practice reports from clinicians based in Asia and in Western countries. With the recent upsurge of interest in non-Western alternative approaches to health care, Asian Medicine - Tradition and Modernity will be of relevance to those studying the modifications and adaptations of traditional medical systems on their journey to non-Asian settings.
