Abstract: Since introduced into China in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism has experienced a long process of attachment, conflict, adaptation, and convergence and formed the sinicization of Buddhism eventually in Sui and Tang dynasties and became a ma-jor part of Chinese traditional culture. The process, from sinicization of Buddhism to Buddhism of sinicization, can not only be consid-ered as openness and embrace of Chinese traditional culture to different other culture, but also regarded as supplement and perfection of Buddhism to Chinese traditional culture. Buddhism promotes the faith of Chinese traditional culture from fuzziness to establish-ment, makes ideal world from the other shore here, and urges socialized personality from the external oppression to the inner freedom.
