宜春与江湖禅宗的关系及其地位刍议

A Study of Yichun and Jianghu Zen

江湖禅宗是慧能法孙江西马祖道一、湖南石头希迁两人及其法嗣法孙所开创的禅系。在中国禅宗的发展史上,马祖道一和石头希迁开创的两派成为当时南宗禅的主要代表,而地处湘赣要冲的宜春,成为连接马祖道一和石头希迁两家的重要基地,故而宜春在江湖禅宗的形成和发展过程中具有非常重要的地位。从某种意义上说,宜春是禅宗湘赣基地成功的重要纽带,进而也是中国禅宗发展最关键阶段的重要基地,以致于在当时形成了"走江湖"的佛教文化交流景观。文章对江湖禅宗的概念形成、产生过程和发展轨迹进行了简明阐述,突出梳理了宜春与江湖禅宗的密切关系及其重要地位,以期对这一时期江湖禅宗的发展脉络有清晰的勾勒。
