Abstract

The success or failure of indigenization, or the high or low level of indigenization, determines the different fate of Buddhism and Christianity in China. In a sense, the success of Buddhism indigenization is the failure of Christianity indigenization. So, why is the indigenization of Buddhism successful in China while the indigenization of Christianity has not yet been realized? What factors have had a critical impact on this? Many scholars have studied this problem and put forward different views. In this paper, I summarize the views of scholars and put forward my own opinions.
