| Summary: | This article studies the practices of meditation and generosity among Chinese Buddhists in 2020 during the COVID-19 outbreak to provide insight into the interplay of religion, faith, well-being, and the pandemic more broadly, as well as to understand the specific ways in which Chinese Buddhists may draw on their faith to combat the ill effects of the pandemic. In particular, we trace the experience of Chinese Buddhists in mainland China, Taiwan, the United States, and other countries, identifying two popular Buddhist practices: meditation and generosity. We study their motivation for those practices, and the different ways Buddhist sites have sought to remain active in offering services to followers. We explore the role of faith in nurturing resiliency in the Chinese Buddhist community and conclude with specific recommendations for the prosperity of Chinese Buddhism during a pandemic and for leveraging specific tenets of the faith to reduce pandemic risks. ben wen yan jiu le zhong guo fu jiao tu zui jin de shan ding he bu shi xiu lian huo dong. wo men yan tao le zhong guo fu jiao tu zai 2020 nian xin guan bing du yi qing qi jian de jing li, yi geng guang fan de shen ru le jie zong jiao､xin yang､fu zhi he yi qing zhi jian de xiang hu zuo yong, yi ji zhong guo fu jiao tu dui kang yi qing dai lai zhi fu mian ying xiang de ju ti fang shi. you qi, wo men zhui su le zhong guo da lu､tai wan､mei guo he qi ta guo jia de zhong guo fu jiao tu de jing li, zhi chu le zai yi qing qi jian liang zhong liu xing de fu jiao xiu lian huo dong: shan ding he bu shi. wo men yan jiu le ta men jin xing zhe xie xiu lian huo dong de dong ji, yi ji fu jiao si miao zai yi qing qi jian yi bu tong de fang shi bao chi wei xin tu ti gong zong jiao fu wu. wo men tan tao le xin yang zai pei yang zhong guo fu jiao jie de ren xing fang mian de zuo yong, bing jiu yi qing qi jian zhong guo fu jiao de fan rong yi ji li yong xin yang de te ding xin tiao jiang di yi qing feng xian ti chu le ju ti jian yi. 本文研究了中国佛教徒最近的禅定和布施修炼活动。我们研讨了中国佛教徒在 2020 年新冠病毒疫情期间的经历，以更广泛地深入了解宗教、信仰、福祉和疫情之间的相互作用，以及中国佛教徒对抗疫情带来之负面影响的具体方式。尤其，我们追溯了中国大陆、台湾、美国和其他国家的中国佛教徒的经历，指出了在疫情期间两种流行的佛教修炼活动: 禅定和布施。我们研究了他们进行这些修炼活动的动机，以及佛教寺廟在疫情期间以不同的方式保持为信徒提供宗教服务。我们探讨了信仰在培养中国佛教界的韧性方面的作用，并就疫情期间中国佛教的繁荣以及利用信仰的特定信条降低疫情风险提出了具体建议。 |
