Chan Buddhism During the Times of Venerable Master Yixuan and Venerable Master Hsing Yun: Applying Chinese Chan Principles to Contemporary Society
Linji Venerable Master Yixuan 臨濟義玄 (d. 866) and Fo Guang Venerable Master Hsing Yun 佛光星雲 (1927–), although separated by more than a millennium, innovatively applied Chan teachings to the societies in which they lived to help their devotees discover their humanity and transcend their existential conditions. Both religious leaders not only survived persecution, but brought their faiths to greater heights. This paper studies how these masters adapted Chan Buddhist teachings to the woes and conditions of their times. In particular, I shall review how Venerable Master Yixuan and Venerable Master Hsing Yun adapted the teachings of their predecessors, added value to the sociopolitical milieu of their times, and used familiar language to reconcile reality and their beliefs.
臨濟義玄與星雲大師之中國禪宗理念在其當代社會的應用
臨濟義玄(?-866)與佛光山星雲大師(1927-)的年代雖然相隔逾千年,但他們在社會裡,同樣創新地應用禪宗教義幫助發掘人的良善本性,並為當前的生存境況創造超越的價值。二位宗教領袖不僅在迫害中倖存,也將自己的信仰推向了更高的境界。本文研究二位大師將禪宗教義落實在他們所處時代的困境和因緣條件的歷程,尤其著重在回顧義玄、星雲大師如何運用前輩的教誨,改善當時的社會政治環境,並以大家聽得懂的語言,融合現實生活與信仰。
東京大學柳幹康教授來山講學 從禪宗《燈錄》看禪宗的歷史觀
宋《天聖廣燈錄》與《建中靖國續燈錄》的編者或護持者均與皇家有密切關係,藉此顯赫所屬宗派的昌隆。由仁宗皇帝駙馬李遵勗所編的《天聖廣燈錄》,則極力刻畫臨濟宗的繁榮歷史,強化從馬祖道一、百丈懷海、黃檗希運至臨濟義玄的傳承法脈。由佛國惟白編的《建中靖國續燈錄》,由駙馬張敦禮上呈,取得徽宗御製序文,雖呈現臨濟與雲門「兩宗並立」,實則推崇雲門宗。 時至南宋,《聯燈會要》編者晦翁悟明對大慧宗杲高度尊崇,輯錄其語錄,引述臨濟時代即有預言宗杲降世之說,藉此神聖化其宗門地位。《嘉泰普燈錄》則記錄雲門、曹洞、臨濟「三宗鼎立」格局,進而建構「三家六宗」法脈框架。 柳教授提到,南宋《五燈會元》首創「五家七宗」框架,雖客.....
