摘 要: 纵观基督教、佛教、道教三种宗教的传教历史,从权柄、权力与道场、市场各自在宗教传播中所起的作用可以看出,权柄、权力可以兴教,却不必然兴教,权柄、权力可以是一个兴教的"方便之门",然而,无此方便,却不可以说教不可兴。历史上的许多宗教派别,是因为得了权力而兴了教,却因此而失了市场,最终衰落了;同样,有的宗派从来没有得到权力,却得了市场,最后兴盛了。道场、市场,乃是兴教的方向,也为宗教的土壤。如果说传道者的眼睛需要朝上看,就更需要朝下看,那才是人间正道。 Taking a general survey of the missionary history of Christianity, Buddhism, and Daoism, from the role of sceptre, power, monastery, and market which play in the spread of religion respectively, we can see that sceptre and power may make a religion prosperous, but do not necessarily. Sceptre and power could be convenient tool to make a religion prosperous; however, without such convenience we cannot say that the religion may not become prosperous. Many religious sects in history led their religion to prosperity because they assumed power, but they also lost markets and even declined for the same reason. Similarly, some sects never came to power, but got market, which also led to their prosperity. In this sense, sceptre and market are key factors in the development of a religion. If transmitters need to look upwards to seize power, they also need to look downward to win market, which is the fight way.
