“慧能偈”与“神秀偈”

"Huinen's Verse" and "Shenshu's Verse"

20世纪以来,围绕慧能"嗣法三偈"所展开的禅学和禅宗史研究,角度不同,见仁见智。文章对其中的代表性观点予以扼要的梳理,并认为包括"神秀偈"在内的四首偈子,与《坛经》中的传法故事,是慧能后人为"禅宗南宗"思想的发展需要而虚构的;"神秀偈"并没有如实反映出神秀的禅学思想;慧能"嗣法三偈"不是落于"有",就是落于"空",同样没能准确地把握住慧能超越二元对立的般若佛性的思想核心。

Since the 20 th century, the study on Zen Buddhism and Zen school history surrounding the ＂ Sifasanji＂ have been researched by many scholars from different angles with different views. The purpose of this text is to organize and analyze briefly some primary views among them, then offer another kind of thinking, that is： four verses including ＂Shenshu＇s verse＂ and the story about successor in （ Tanjing ） are made up by the Huineng disciples who want to develop the thought of ＂Nanzong＂. Moreover, ＂Shenshu verse＂ has not reflected the Zen thought of Shenshu, and Huinen＇s ＂Sifasanji＂ either falls on the ＂You＂ or falls on the ＂Kong＂ that has not reflected exactly the thought of Huinen＇s ＂Borefoxing＂ which is beyond duality.
