 Prof. Sun Yinggang: As we know, the rise and spread of Buddhism across Asia is a monumental event in human civilization. Buddhism evolved from a local faith into a world religion, playing a profoundly important role in the course of human development. After entering China, Buddhism also became an indispensable component of Chinese culture. To this day, Buddhism continues to play a vital part in the Belt and Road Initiative and the integration of diverse civilizations. This resonates with history: the ancient Silk Road was not only a route for material exchange but also a path of faith.  
 
 今天，我们有幸请到两位重量级嘉宾，围绕“佛教和一带一路”的关系，进行较为深入的探讨。两位嘉宾，一位是资深学者魏道儒教授，出生于上世纪五十年代；一位是当代高僧济群法师，出生于上世纪六十年代，他们的个人经历和接触佛教的心得都不同。魏教授是中国社科院学部委员、中国社科院佛教研究中心主任，主编了《世界佛教通史》，这是重要的大部头著作。济群法师是戒幢佛学研究所所长，学修并重的高僧，也对学术倾注了很多精力。两位分别是学界和教界的代表，对这个问题最有发言权。  
-Today, we are honored to have two distinguished guests for an in-depth discussion on the relationship between Buddhism and the Belt and Road. One is the veteran scholar Professor Wei Daoru, born in the 1950s; the other is the eminent contemporary monk Master Jiqun, born in the 1960s. Their personal experiences and encounters with Buddhism differ greatly. Professor Wei is a member of the CASS academic committee and Director of the CASS Buddhist Research Center, and chief editor of *A Comprehensive History of World Buddhism*, a major scholarly work. Master Jiqun is the director of the Jiechuang Institute of Buddhist Studies — a monk who emphasizes both study and practice, and who has devoted considerable energy to academic work. As representatives of the academic and monastic communities respectively, they are the most qualified to speak on this topic.

 我们先从个人经历谈起。我想代表听众请问：两位是怎么接触到佛教的，对佛法有什么感悟和思考？不论作为研究对象还是信仰来说，相信你们的经历会对大家有所启发。
 Let us begin with their personal experiences. On behalf of the audience, I would like to ask: How did our two guests first encounter Buddhism, and what insights and reflections has the Dharma brought them? Whether approached as an object of study or as a living faith, I believe their experiences will be illuminating for us all.

 所以我在1987年报考了世界宗教研究所的博士研究生，学习中国佛教，导师是杜继文和杨曾文两位先生。博士毕业以后，我就留所工作，一直以佛教为自己的专业研究对象，没有左顾右盼，没有瞻前顾后。走到今天，算来已有38年，虽然没做出什么像样的工作，但对佛教有了一些肤浅的认识。  
-So in 1987, I applied for the doctoral program at the Institute of World Religions, to study Chinese Buddhism under the guidance of Professors Du Jiwen and Yang Zengwen. After earning my doctorate, I stayed on at the Institute and have devoted myself to Buddhist studies ever since — never wavering, never looking back. To date, it has been thirty-eight years. While I cannot claim to have produced impressive work, I have gained a modest understanding of Buddhism.

 在我看来，作为中印文化交流结晶的世界宗教，佛教最大的特点，是有旺盛的生命力，广泛的适应力，能随着历史发展的脚步与时俱进，不断向不同民族和地区发展。尽管我们把佛教看作一种世界宗教，其实在2500多年的历史中，它90%的时间是亚洲宗教，成为世界宗教只有大约200多年的历史。这给我们一个启示：随着人类文明的进步，佛教向外传播的速度正在加快，向外传播的地域更为辽阔，影响的民族不断增加。所以我认为，佛教不仅在今天影响着许多地区和大众，未来也会在构建人类命运共同体的过程中发挥积极作用，拓展更大空间。
