一条关于达摩入华的另类资料

An Unusual Material about Bodhidharma Entering China

依据唐道宣《唐高僧传》载,南北朝时,菩提达摩入华传播禅法,创立禅宗,曾受到当时部分佛教僧人的"讥谤",但所谓"讥谤"的详情不清。本文依据在敦煌遗书中发现的8世纪上半叶写本《成唯识论述记解前杂叙》(拟)来探讨这一问题。指出当时僧人"讥谤"达摩的方法之一,可能是质疑达摩传法的合法性。或许正因为有类似的质疑,达摩不得不以"教外别传"应之,并为早期禅宗的传法特点提供一个新的解读视角。

According to the Biographies of the Eminent Monks of the Tang Dynasty by Dao Xuan of the Tang dynasty, when Bodhidharma came to China to preach the law of meditation（dhyana） and founded the School of Chan in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he was derided by some Buddhist monks, though what he was criticized for remains unclear. This paper attempts to discuss this problem according to the Chengweishilun Shuji Jieqian Zaxu（Commentaries on Vijnaptimatratasiddhi-sastra） preserved in a manuscript of the first half of the 8 th century in Dunhuang documents. These commentaries explain that doubting the validity of Bodhidharma＇s preaching is a form of slander, which may be the reason that Bodhidharma＇s ＂ special teaching from Buddha（without the aid of words）＂ was met with such a negative response. This gives new context to interpreting the dharma-preaching characteristics of the early Chan School.
