簡介

一貫道(無處不在的合一之道),此項具綜攝性與千禧年主義特質的宗教運動,是民國時期其中一個主要的「救世團體」。該派在1930年代到1940年代之間發展十分迅速,且吸引了百萬之眾的跟隨者。在中華人民共和國建立以後,一貫道遭到嚴厲打壓,但是卻成功在其他地方繼續生存並重新部屬,尤以台灣為甚。如今,它已成為亞洲規模最大且最有影響力的宗教運動之一,同時也是其中一個鮮為人知悉、乏人瞭解的宗教運動。從其最為強大的基地台灣,一貫道已然拓展至世界各地,包括官方仍然予以禁止的中國大陸在內。《天道開荒》一書立基於持續十餘年之久的民族誌研究工作,提出香港一貫道社群作為台灣、澳門、中國、其他地方之間流通中樞角色的深入研究。畢遊塞探討該團體擴張動能的因素:生存適應與鞏固信仰的方法;卡里斯馬領袖的重要性;儒學的角色,使得一貫道與中國當權者之間的張力能夠緩解,有時甚至可以與之合作;最後則是一貫道結構完整的擴張策略及其駛過海峽兩岸政治驚濤駭浪的準外交努力。

A syncretistic and millenarian religious movement, the Yiguandao (Way of Pervading Unity) was one of the major redemptive societies of Republican China. It developed extremely rapidly in the 1930s and the 1940s, attracting millions of members. Severely repressed after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, it managed to endure and redeploy elsewhere, especially in Taiwan. Today, it has become one of the largest and most influential religious movements in Asia and at the same time one of the least known and understood. From its powerful base in Taiwan, it has expanded worldwide, including in mainland China where it remains officially forbidden. Based on ethnographic work carried out over nearly a decade, Reclaiming the Wilderness offers an in-depth study of a Yiguandao community in Hong Kong that serves as a node of circulation between Taiwan, Macao, China and elsewhere. Sébastien Billioud explores the factors contributing to the expansionary dynamics of the group: the way adepts live and confirm their faith; the importance of charismatic leadership; the role of Confucianism, which makes it possible to defuse tensions with Chinese authorities and sometimes even to cooperate with them; and, finally, the well-structured expansionary strategies of the Yiguandao and its quasi-diplomatic efforts to navigate the troubled waters of cross-straits politics.
