王船山的“辟佛”与“传佛”

Wang Chuanshan's Criticizing Buddhism and Communicating Buddhism

船山先生的佛学因缘始之于"辟佛"以"习佛",终之于"习佛"以"传佛"。其"辟佛"的目的旨在扭转那种在明代已与"浮屠"之说相"窃附"的阳明之学返归于儒学正道——张子横渠《易》学;而其"传佛"的成就则集中凝聚在他别具匠心地妙用了华严宗的"判教"之法、善于因袭明末诸家法师"融会性相二宗"的习佛时风而撰写的《相宗络索》一书。

Chuanshan＇s karma on Buddhism started from criticizing Buddhism to learning Buddhism, and ended from learning Buddhism to communicating Buddhism. His criticism of Buddhism aimed at transforming the doctrine of Yangming, which fell into chime with Buddhism, into the doctrine of Yi, which derived from ZhangZai. His achievement of communicating Buddhism focused mainly on the book called XiangZong LuoSuo, in which he both felicitously used the method of classifying the teachings from Huayan, and elaborately followed the custom of learning Buddhism of incorporating Dharma-nature into Dharma-character, which prevailed in most of monks in Ming Dynasty.
