摘要

This paper examines, on a religious and institutional basis, the evolution of the Puhua si 普華寺, a Chinese Buddhist temple in Prato (Tuscany, Italy), taking into account local aspects as well as its relationship with China. It presents the history of the temple, its ritual practices and doctrinal traditions. In addressing the questions of its changing religious identities and institutional affiliations, the paper shows that both local and global factors are involved, namely, Puhua si's own board, the Union of Italian Buddhists, as well as Longquan si and the Buddhist Association of China.

本文以宗教和制度兩方面為出發點，考察義大利托斯卡納大區普拉托市的中國佛教寺院普華寺的發展歷程，在考量其地域特色的同時兼論其與中國的關係。首先回顧普華寺的歷史，並對其儀軌與教義傳統加以介紹。而在探討關於該寺處於變化當中的宗教身份與組織隸屬問題時，本文提出其中所涉及的本地與國際因素，包括普華寺本身的管理委員會、義大利佛教協會、龍泉寺與中國佛教協會等主體都扮演著相應的角色。
