方以智易学思想在中五道场之表达

Expression of Fang Yizhi's Thought on the Changes in the Central Five-Oriented Temple He Designed

方以智将精深的易学思想贯注到中五道场中,从而使得佛教建筑渗透着河洛精蕴。中五道场总体布局依照《洛书》,核心中五为坐落法王三身的大雄殿;金刚上师居西北乾位,以烹雪堂为参禅之最上乘;始终敦止为东北艮,以呼觉堂表人心之佛即净土;九宫旋八之五位,任何一室均是中五之现身,此为华严境界。总之,中五道场合佛教之宗、教、律而统一切法,暗合《洪范》九畴,体现了方以智易学思想统摄下的儒佛会通。

Fang Yizhi （1611-71） infused his insights on the Changes into the designing of the Central Five-oriented temple, permeating this Buddhist site with the quintessence of the He tu （Yellow River Map） and Luo shu （Luo River Chart）. The overall arrangement of the buildings of the temple was based on the Luo shu and the center corresponding to Five was the location of the Great Buddha＇s Hall. As a place expected to he the most advanced level of meditation, the Peng Xue Hall （com- memorating the famous Song [960-1279] Buddhist priest Xue Dou affiliated with the Chan Sect of Buddhism） was located in the northwest corresponding to trigram Qian [ ] ; a place expected to demonstrate that Buddha in man＇ s heart/mind is nothing but Pure Land, the Hujue （lit., calling for enlightenment symbolizing the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism） Hall was ar- ranged in the northeast correlated with trigram Gen [ ] which symbolizes the beginning and end, honesty, and stillness. In addition, based on the He tu and Luo shu theory, any room of the temple can be an embodiment of the Center at Five which designates the Great One （or Supreme Ultimate）, this manifests the realm of the Huayan Sect of Buddhism. In short, being in alignment with the nine palaces theory, this site incorporated all sects of Buddhism into one and embodies the union of Buddhism and Confucianism merged under Fang Yizhi＇s thought on the Changes.
