First, in modern times, China criticized many Buddhist theories as feudal superstitions in the process of learning from the West and the East, so that people's impressions of Buddhism are only Buddha statues, monks, "Amitabha" and> Yes.

Second, when you say people, you mean two kinds of people: ignorant people. They don't know the phenomenon of "Buddhism" in China. At present, there are five institutions that study Buddhist thoughts: 1, religious circles, China Buddhist College, etc. 2. Non-governmental academic groups; 3. The religious administration of the government; 4. Scientific research institutions, Buddhist Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, etc. 5. Institutions of higher learning, China Renmin University, Institute of Buddhism and Religious Theory, etc. People who are not good at thinking. I don't analyze and distinguish many Buddhist superstitions and mistakenly think that those Buddhist superstitions are Buddhism.

In recent years, there has been an upsurge of studying Buddhism at home and abroad, and various theories have emerged one after another, which fully shows that Buddhist thought is indeed profound!
