本体智慧与日用工夫——作为禅宗悟禅活动中心的顿悟

Ontological Wisdom and Daily Practice——An Interpretation of Sudden Enlightenment Zen Buddhism

顿悟是禅宗"见性成佛"的不二法门。顿悟的实现就其忽然默契来看,是刹那间的当下体验;就其修行的过程来看,却是极其艰难的。在顿悟中参禅者获得了生存智慧,它是在日常工夫中才体现出的涅槃般若。顿悟作为本体智慧与日用工夫的合一,它不是参禅的结束,而是刚刚开始;它也不单单是个人的解脱和精神逍遥,而是指向着一个开悟的世间状态。

Sudden enlightenment is perceived as the sole approach to ″discovering the nature and attaining the way of Buddha″.The realization of enlightenment is,on the one hand,an instantaneous experience of sudden revelation,and a hard-won process of Buddhist practice on the other.By achieving sudden enlightenment,a Zen worshiper gains wisdom of existence,which is the so-called highest nirvana wisdom embodied in daily practice.Sudden enlightenment is an integration of ontological wisdom and daily practice,which is not the culmination of Zen practice,but a beginning,which signifies not only personal liberation and spiritual freedom,but also a direction toward a newly enlightened world.
