牛头禅与天台宗之关涉——兼论南朝灭亡后江东佛教之特色

On the Connections between the Zen of Mount Niutou and the Buddhist Sect of Mount Tiantai

虽然,天台宗为佛语宗,牛头禅为心宗,然而同在江东的人文地理环境中,他们却发生种种关涉:如都提倡禅教并重;都主张无情有性说;都推崇傅翕思想。这种种关涉也就构成了南朝灭亡后江东佛教之特色。

The Buddhist Sect of Mount Tiantai was concerned with the sacred literature of Buddhism, while theZen of Mount Niutou was concerned with deep meditation. However, certain connections developed between them inthe particular human and geographic environment of southeast China. Both of them stressed that equal importanceshould be given to beth the Zen and Buddhism, both advocated that people should have feelings but not love betweenthe sexes, and both held in esteem the thought of Fu Xi. All these connections constituted the characteristics of theBuddhism in southeast China after the fall of the Southern Dynasty.
