Q: When we adopted Buddhism in the T'ang dynasty it seems to have made Chinese culture stronger and richer, but when Christianity arrived in the Ming and Ching our culture seems to have experienced a crisis in confidence. Do you think there is any relationship?
問：由唐代的佛教和明末基督教在中國傳教過程來看，基督教的影響力似乎小得多；不過就文化上來看，佛教傳到中國，顯然豐富壯大了中國文化，但明清基督教的來臨，卻似乎帶來了此後文化自信上的懷疑？
