文明发生的必要条件是宗教信仰和神话观念,而不是理性与哲学。宗教信仰的人类普遍性与信仰内容(一神、多神、拜物教、人格神)和形式(偶像、禁绝偶像)的文化差异性,成为认识每一个文明特质的关键所在。玉教在东亚绵延数千年的偶像崇拜传统,成为成功接引佛教东传的内在引力。而以禁绝偶像崇拜为特色的犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教统治下的西亚、中亚地区则有效阻挡着佛教的传播,使得这个产生于南亚的宗教只能向东传播,不得向西传。
Necessary conditions for the occurrence of civilization are religious beliefs and mythological concepts, not rationality and philosophy. The cultural differences of the human universality of religious belief and the content of faith (one god, multiple gods, fetishism, personality God) and forms (idol, idol banning) have become the key to understanding the qualities of each civilization. Jade religion in East Asia stretches thousands of years of idol worship tradition, become the successful attraction of Buddhism eastward gravity. In Judaism, Christianity and Islam under the rule of banning idolatry, West Asia and Central Asia effectively blocked the spread of Buddhism, making this religion, which originated in South Asia, spread only eastward and could not be spread to the West.
