宗教友誼 —艾香德的《羅妙吉傳》.

In 1928, Karl Ludvig Reichelt (1877-1952) went to Taiwan to pay a special visit to the Venerable Luo Miaochi (1904-1930), the then Vice-abbot of Bangka Lungshan Temple, in Taipei. The two then established a memorable friendship and initiated a meaningful discussion on the possibility of a “New Religion.” The 2nd volume of Reichelt’s seminal writings, Fromhetstyper og Helligdommer i Øst-Asia I-III, is an invaluable account of their interactions and discussions on religious topics. Although Luo Miaochi stands as an indispensable figure in the history of Buddhism in Taiwan, research on him remains scarce and limited. This study aims to fill in this gap through a detailed descriptive analysis of the relationship and the communication between Reichelt and Luo, contributing to a better understanding of Miaochi, and of this significant inter-religious dialogue in the historical junction of world religions.
