Title: Self-reliance, Buddhism Nature and Art Psychology On Buddhism Influences upon Ancient Chinese Art Psychology
Abstract: Watching Buddhas image and conducting self-reflection in Buddhism cultivation is, in fact, to induce religious fancy and hallucination with the believer awe of Buddhist figure. It can become objectively a sort of figurative thought training method, therefore shares some similarities with literary and artistic creation in terms of methodological principles. Besides, what Chinese Buddhism embraces is not idealized deity. This leads to the advancement of self-reliance arguments, namely the cultivation does not take deity as the core, but the cultivator himself; everyone is possessed with somewhat Buddhism nature; the point is how to expand it. This self-reliance in Dowtherm and Zen has strengthened the tendency in ancient Chinese art psychology to value subjects activity, hence deserving further researches at present for the values of some original ideas.
