禅“悟”与武“悟”——论少林武术的拳禅合一

"Zen"perception and "Wu"perception——On the combination of "Zen"and Shaolin Wushu

少林武术是从原始简单格斗的中国武技到具有厚重中国传统文化内涵的中国武术这一历程的体现。少林武术在发展过程中,受到中国化佛教的影响和渗透,并最终通过佛教的"悟",把以大慈大悲、普渡众生为主旨的佛教,同专门搏杀格斗,张扬着血光与暴力的少林武术融为一体。"悟"成为少林武术通向化境的必由之路,并载着少林武术逐步走向艺术的天堂,从而具有了对人格的塑造和道德的教化功能。这是少林武术在当代的重要表现形式,也是少林武术能够迎合当今社会需求的重要文化魅力之所在。

Shaolin Wushu was developed from the simple Chinese military technique to the martial arts with Chinese cultural tradition.In the process,it was affected and penetrated by Chinese Buddhism and ultimately combined the ＂perception＂ of Buddhist idea with the military fighting of Wushu.The ＂perception＂ was the necessary way for Shaolin Wushu to attain perfection and enter into the heaven of arts,with the function of personality molding and moral enlightenment.The above is the important representation of Shaolin Wushu in contemporary age and also the cultural charm of Shaolin Wushu in satisfying the social needs.
