日本近代几位禅师法演观评述

A Review of Views of Fayan by Modern Japanese Buddhist Masters

众所周知,宋代禅门五家最盛者乃临济宗,临济宗在石霜楚圆以后又分化为杨岐、黄龙二支分头并进。杨岐派宗风劲健,三传至五祖法演更能充分展示自己的生命力。一般说来,五祖法演对宗门的意义在于能结合自己的时代背景,自觉反思、对话、总结禅门各家先贤的优点,淡化门派壁垒,开启了"看话禅"的新势头,从而能与"默照禅"一起,共同构成禅在宋代发展变化的新格局。法演以"看话"所传递临济的精髓,一直是他之后历代禅学追随者考论、感悟临济乃至体证禅之真精神的坐标之一。二十世纪以来,日本几位禅学家对之均表现出广泛的兴致和深刻的描述。
