台湾の国立政治大学の林鎮国（Lin, Chen-kuo）教授のプロジェクト「6-7世紀の中国におけるインド仏教思想」（Indian Buddhist Thought in 6th-7th Century China）の成果がハンブルク大学出版より出版されました。 A Distant Mirror: Articulating Indic Ideas in Sixth and Seventh Century Chinese Buddhism. Chen-kuo Lin & Michael Radich (eds.), Hamburg University Press, 2014. その序文にもある通り、本書のタイトルは歴史家バーバラ・タックマンの『遠い鏡』（A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century, 1978）に範をとりながら、インド仏教を映し出す鏡としての中国仏教の在り方に焦点を当て、いわば、〈方法としての中国仏教〉という視点から、インド仏教を考察する諸論考から成り立ちます。Lin&Radichは次のように述べています。 We intend out title to encapsulate a methodological intuition, which we believe runs as a common thread through almost all of the studies collected here – that scholars should seriously consider the possibility that a wider set of features of the Chinese tradition, treated carefully, might serve us a “distant mirror”, accurately displaying features common to Buddhism in India and elsewhere outside China. (p. 15f.) 中国仏教というと、インド仏教を継承しつつも、文化的背景の違いのために、独特の発展をした仏教というイメージがあり、また、サンスクリット語と中国語（漢文）では言語的にも大きな違いがあるため、インド仏教、特に認識論の分野での貢献にはあまり期待できないのではないかという先入観があるかもしれません。本書を読めば、そのような先入観は消え去るでしょう。むしろ、一面において中国仏教がインド仏教――特に唯識思想と認識論――のありえた姿を映し出す鏡であることが分かると思います。
