論文呈現了粵東梅州客家佛教香花從民國至當代的發展歷程,描述了香花在佛教屬性的限定下所經歷的諸多變化,特別提示出佛教香花出現的職業化現象和香花儀式作為文化遺產的趨向,這無疑與佛教傳統在梅州的重新接值、宗教人員及其生活制度發生變異是相關的。筆者認為,佛教香花在百年的變化,是佛教制度、政治制度以及相伴而行的宗教政策及其影響在梅州客家力量消長的結果,香花在當代梅州客家的發展需要這種格局的和諧、穩定、適度。
The paper presents the history of the Buddhist ritual of xianghua
in Meizhou of eastern Guangdon from 1911 till the present time. It deals
with the transformation of xianghua in the Buddhist context. The professionalization
of xianghua and its status as part of the cultural legacy are
given special attention. The development of xianghua had much to do with
the repeated revival of Buddhism in Meizhou. It was also closely related to
the religious practitioners and their changing ways of life over the years. The
transformation of the xianghua ritual was also the result of the interaction
among Buddhist and political systems as well as religious policies. Harmony,
stability, moderation of these systems and policies are required to ensure
prosperity of the xianghua ritual in Meizhou Hakka.
