| Summary: | This article presents a historical exploration of the concept of qili qiji 契理契机 (according with the [core] principles [of Buddhism] and the circumstances or capacities [of sentient beings]) in the context of Buddhist thought from the Eastern Jin era (317–420 CE) to contemporary times, examining its origins, development, and dissemination, and the progressive expansion of its definition. The study explores the significance of qili qiji in the writings and discussions of influential figures and organizations in the domain of “Buddhism for the Human Realm” (renjian fojiao 人间佛教), such as Taixu 太虚, Yin Shun 印顺, Sheng-yen 圣严, Hsing Yun 星云, Zhao Puchu 赵朴初, and the Buddhist Association of China. Lastly, the study investigates the adoption of this term beyond the Buddhist community, specifically its incorporation into the official discourse of governmental religious affairs departments and its usage within other religions such as Daoism. 本文首先对“契理契机”这一概念作了简要的概念史考察，梳理了自东晋到近代它从其起源、酝酿、产生、定型、传播、拓展的历史。在此基础上，进而考察了“契理契机”一词在太虚、印顺、圣严、星云、赵朴初、中国佛教协会等人间佛教代表性人物、团体相关论述中的用例，并分析其不同意涵、侧重和诠释面向。本文最后考察“契理契机”一词如何从佛教界外溢到政府宗教事务管理部门和其它宗教如道教的官方表述中。 |
