Interflow of Buddhist Culture between China and Southeast Asia During the Sui & Tang Periods

隋唐时期中国与东南亚的佛教文化交流,无论在深度和广度上都较之于前代有更大的发展。其中最为显著的特点之一,就是这一时期海外交通的发达为中国与东南亚的佛教文化交流提供了必要的物质条件,众多的中外僧侣途经东南亚诸国前往印度取经或东来中国译经传法,构成了这一时期佛教文化高度繁荣的重要组成部分之一。The interflow of Buddhist culture between China and Southeast Asia during the Sui and Tang periods was more extensive and deeper than during the previous dynasties. One of the most remarkable features was that the developed overseas communication during these periods provided the essential conditions for the interflow of Buddhist culture between two sides. The numerous Chinese monks going to India for learning from Buddhist scripture and their Indian counterparts coming to China for translating Buddhist scripture via Southeast Asian countries during these periods made up an important component part of the highly prosperous Buddhist culture during these periods
