摘要：  随着上海经济社会的高速转型，新兴的白领中产阶层与社会精英群体在个人财富与生活水平方面均有了显著的提升，改革开放30年过程中的强烈的利益追逐冲动已经得到了基本的满足。但在这样的转型背景下，中产阶层与社会精英阶层又开始面对各种新的心理危机，如高强度竞争环境下的意义危机感，以及生活富足之后生命目标的迷失等等，这些成为新兴社会阶层在“幸福感”方面的主要关心内容。在这样的背景下，佛教开始进入他们的视野，并得到了广泛的接受。但是这种盲目急切的信仰投入却同时带有世俗化与泛文化的特色，并且具有强烈的功利性，形成了当代上海佛教信仰的主要性格。

Abstract: With the highspeed social and economic transition in Shanghai, the new MiddleClass and Elite stratums have acquired considerable wealth and social status, and their strong "impulse to pursue material interest" has been satisfied during the past 30year reform and opening up. Against the background of rapid social change, however, they now find themselves confronted with new psychological problems including the confusion about value in keen competition and the loss of goal in wealthy life, which have largely influenced their measurement of personal "happiness". Suffering such psychological crisis, they start to try some experience of religion such as Buddhism. Nevertheless, their blind involvement in religious life is not only secularized and pancultural but utilitarian and superficial, which are also the main characters of metropolis Buddhism in Shanghai.

Key words: Happiness, metropolis Buddhism, secularization
