《坛经》的不二佛性

Non-duality Buddha Nature of Tan Sutra

《坛经》以见性成佛为宗旨,因此其佛性问题即是前提、是关键。对于佛性的论述,核心逻辑是不二中道理论,具体展开而有理事不二,常、无常不二,自他不二,皆有、或有不二等。正确理解不二中道理论,是对《坛经》的佛性理论进行正确理解的基础,需要明白这是立体的、辩证的逻辑,而不是平面的、形式的逻辑,否则就会产生种种机械的误解。

It is Tan Sutra's objective to see one's own nature and to accomplish buddhahood directly.So the Buddha nature is the premise and the key.In the discoursing of Buddha nature, the core logic is the non-duality theory.It is expanded concretely as follows:such things are non-duality as principle and phenomena,permanence and impermanence,self and other,the whole and the part,etc.It is the basis of understanding the theory of Buddha nature in Tan Sutra correctly to understand the non-duality theory of correctly.We need to understand the logic is not flat and formal but tridimensional and dialectical,otherwise it will produce a variety of mechanical misunderstanding.
