《坛经》版本与南禅思想演变关系考论

A Study of The Sutra of Hui Neng Version and Evolution of Southern Zen Thoughts

《坛经》版本繁多,但真正有代表性的主要是三个本子,即法海本、惠昕本和契嵩本。三个本子在演变过程中形成了复杂的关系。梳理这三个主要版本之间传承、演变的关系,可以揭橥《坛经》思想重心演变的轨迹,从而为理解南禅宗思想的发展提供一个重要视角。概而言之,法海本主要体现了惠能及其以下二代弟子的思想;惠昕本主要体现了由"顿悟法"向"见性法"转移的思想变化;契嵩本则体现了"儒佛会通"、"融合空有"的思想趋势。《坛经》版本的演变一方面取决于其自身理论的逻辑展开,一方面又折射了佛教自身地位的升降及其与其它社会思潮的互动关系。

Tanjing has many versions, but the real representative ones just three, that is, Fahaiedition, Huixin- editionand Qi songedition. Three books formed a complex relationship in the evolution of its edition history. Studying the relationship between the three major versions, will be not only help to understand the changingof the center thoughts of Tanjing , but also to provide an important perspective to understand the developments of Zen thought. In general, FahaieditionmainlymanifestedHuineng and his disciples＇ idea; Huixineditionmainly reflect- edthetransitial tendency from insight theory to see heart theory; and Qi song edition mainly highlighted the trend of integration of BuddhismandConfucianism.
