见道与参禅

Darsanamarga and Meditation

据大乘经论,佛教"见道"的涵义就是证悟般若波罗蜜多,也即证悟第八识阿赖耶识的清净性。考达磨著述和《六祖坛经》可知,禅宗是因应大乘"见道"而设立的行门。亲证本心自性是禅宗也即大乘佛教"入门"的标的。参禅是为了"见道","参禅"便是参究自性本心之所在。禅宗开悟祖师大多尚未成为初地菩萨,但已然进入了见道位。禅史上,石霜楚圆和大慧宗杲的道场,是案例和明证。解读"话头"和参究"话头禅"的体验,"见道"之意义有三。

According to Mahayana Buddhism, the path of darsana-marga means to realize prajnaparamita,which is also to realize the pureness of the eighth consciousness--alaya. Writings of Bodhidharma and thePlatform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch both suggest that Zen school was established in order to practice darsana-marga of Mahayana. To realize one＇s own nature （svabhava） and original mind is the prerequisite for studyingboth Zen and Mahayana Buddhism. The aim of meditation is to find one＇s own nature and original mind. Most ofChan masters had not become the Great Joy （the first ground）Boddisattva yet, but they had already entered thepath of darsana-marga. In the history of Zen, teachings of Shishuang Chuyuan and Dahui Zonggao can beregarded as two good examples. Also, this article discusses the Zen practice of huatou （word head）.
