老庄玄学、小乘实有还是大乘真空——僧肇《物不迁论》辨析

An analysis of Seng Zhao's The Immutability of Things

关于僧肇《物不迁论》自唐宋以来即存在诸多误解。事实上,该论既非老庄玄学“主静论”的孑遗,亦非小乘“性住说”的翻版,它通篇贯彻了中观般若本旨,论证诸法自性本空、不去亦不来的“物不迁”真义,无愧于其“解空第一”、“玄宗之始”的历史评价。

There has been much misunderstanding on Seng Zhao's The Immutability of Things.In fact,the thesis is neither a reminder of Neo-Taoism's theory which lays emphasis on quiescence,nor another version of Hinayana Buddhism's theory of Pakati Fixedness.The whole book fully exerts the motif of Mādhyamaka and prajā and tries to make an analysis on the significance of the theory of the immutability of things,which is really worth the historical evaluation of the 'Founder of Sanron School'.
