问：当时思想界的情况怎样？

赵朴初答：

和我国春秋战国时代相仿佛，当时印度思想界也正处在一个百家争鸣的时期。总的说来，当时思想界有两大潮流，一个是正统的婆罗门教思想的潮流，一个是异端的反婆罗门教思想的潮流，佛教属于后者。

Q：What was the situation in the ideological domain in India at that time？

A：

Similar to the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Period in Chinese history，there was a period of a hundred schools of thought in contention。Generally speaking，there existed two major ideological trends:one was the school of orthodox Brahmanist thought，and the other，various schools of heretical anti-Brahman thought. Buddhism belonged to the latter.
