马来西亚华人的三一教信仰考察

早期,三一教在兴化人中传播。作为一个小的方言群,兴化人具有较强的凝聚力,但与此同时,马来西亚的三一教也因为兴化人的这一特征而呈现封闭保守的特征。直到近来,以芙蓉志元堂为代表的三一教堂,才开始注重对自身、对三一教的主动宣传与发扬;也有更多其他方言群尤其是闽南人的信众纷纷加入三一教。三一教教堂的宗教特色和活动有其独特之处。

A Study of the Belief in Three-in-One-Doctrine of Malaysian Chinese

In the early period,Three-in-One-Doctrine was spread among Xinhuanese.Though it was only a small dialect group,Xinhuanese had a strong cohesive force.As a result,Three-in-One-Doctrine in Malaysia presented the character of closure and conservativeness.However,Zhiyuan Tang,the representative church of Three-in-One-Doctrine,which locates in Seremban City,begins to focus on propaganda actively for itself and Three-in-One-Doctrine recently.In the meantime,there are also some other dialect groups joining in it,especially people from the southern Fujian province.The religion character and activities of Three-in-One-Doctrine have their own special characteristics.
