南泉普愿与中国禅宗的转型

Master Nanquanpuyuan and transformation of China ’s Zen Buddhism

作为马祖道一门下三大士之一的南泉普愿是洪州宗的重要人物,他在继承与弘扬马祖道一"平常心是道"思想上不遗余力,贡献最大。他提出的"不是心,不是佛,不是物"、"向异类行"、"心不是佛,智不是道"、"拟向即乖"等思想具有从祖师禅向分灯禅过渡的特点,从佛性论、修养论等方面拉开了中国禅宗由前期向后期转型的序幕。

Nanquanpuyuan, as one of three best students of Master Mazudaoyi, is an important figure of Hongzhou sehool of China＇s Zen Buddhism. He inherits and develops Mazudaoyi＇s thought of Ordinary-mind-is-dao,and makes greatest contribution. His thought, such as no mind-no buddha-no being, has the characteristics of transformation from Zushi Zen to Fendeng Zen, and unveils the prelude of transformation of China＇ s Zen Buddhism from previous period to later period.
