The Religious Exchanges in Cross Strait Church-State Relations - A Case Study of Tzu Chi Pattern (1991-2008)

[[abstract]]我國自1987年開放大陸觀光探親後，兩岸民間交流活動日漸頻繁，宗教交流活動亦逐漸的開展，其中大甲鎮瀾宮搶先在政府正式開放大陸探親政策之前，即繞道日本前往湄洲媽祖祖廟進香謁祖，由此拉開了兩岸宗教交流的序幕。而慈濟於1991年正式進入大陸地區至2008年為止，與大陸方面開展出獨特的「慈濟」交流模式，異於其他台灣宗教團體與大陸的交流。本文以「慈濟模式」為研究個案，希望透過政教關係的脈絡來了解一個宗教色彩鮮明的佛教團體，如何進入無神論的大陸進行宗教交流？台灣慈濟團體到大陸實際交流的內容為何？並進一步從政教關係的角度，探討影響其交流的背後原因？從中建構兩岸政教關係的政治學理論芻型。 Since Taiwan government lifted the ban of communication with Mainland China in 1987, the activity of cross-strait civil exchange has became more frequent day by day and the cross-strait religious exchanges gradually developed as well. Da Jia Jenn Lann Temple was the one that made a detour around Ishigaki-gima in Japan and went on the pilgrimage to the ancestral Mazu Temple in Mei Chiou, China even before the ban. In this way, it became the prologue to the cross-strait religious exchanges. However, Tzu Chi formally entered China in 1911, using a unique ＂Tzu Chi pattern＂ of exchanges and interactions until 2008, which was quite distinct from the exchanges between other religious groups in Taiwan and Mainland China. This study intends to investigate the case of ＂Tzu Chi pattern＂, in order to understand how a Buddhist Organization with specific image could enter Mainland China, an atheist country, to build religious exchanges; moreover, to find out the composition of religious exchanges between them, and furthermore, to discuss the reasons of this interaction with the view of church-state relation. From these discussing,this study will construct church-state relation theory on the cross-strait,that will become one of the political science theories
