Taixu was one of the most important Buddhist leaders in the modern history of Chinese Buddhism. He attempted to carry out comprehensive reforms of Buddhism. In addition to Buddhist teachings and teaching methods, Taixu also proposed reform in the design of monastic robes. Hinting at his later reforms, Taixu made remarks on monastic robes in the early Republican period. After the Chinese victory of the Sino-Japanese War, Taixu was directed to reform Chinese Buddhism. In April 1946, Dongchu published an article entitled “Reforming Monastic Robes” in Haichaoyin, proposing reforms the monastic robe. At the same time, in his monastic training program, Taixu made the first attempt to reform the monastic robe. Although small in scope, this experiment led to controversy in the Chinese Buddhist community between conservatives and reformers. Cihang, who was in Singapore, furthered the controversy to a climax, even attacking his teacher and friends. The events were led by emotion rather than reason. In the end, Yinshun tried to find a reasonable resolution by looking to Buddhist history, and the reform controversy regarding monastic robes gradually subsided. |
