巴哈伊信仰與佛教
佛教是巴哈伊信仰承認的曾在宗教經典中預言巴哈歐拉(彌勒佛)出現的九大宗教之一。佛陀被認為是連續出現的上帝的顯示者之一。而最近佛教背景的巴哈伊信徒的數量也呈現增長的趨勢。[1]
概念上的區分
佛教和亞伯拉罕諸教中不同的宗教概念,在巴哈伊信仰有關的學術研究中引起討論。Jamshed Fozdar指出佛教有關於不可知的實在的教義即對應者巴哈伊信仰中上帝的概念,[1]如《小尼柯耶》中的《自說經》有經文道:「諸比丘!無生亦無物,無造亦無作。諸比丘!若無生、無有、無造作者,則所生、所有、所造、所作者,當不出現。諸比丘!無生、無有、無造、無作為者故,生者、有者、能造者、作為者當不出現。[2]學者莫門(Moojan Momen)關於上座部佛教與巴哈伊信仰的倫理觀總結出許多相似之處,並認為哲學層面的差異主要由與文化緊密相關的術語的不同所造成。[1][3][4]
