从“有无”看道家与禅宗——以老子、慧能为例

On Taoismand Zen from“Have or Not”--Taking Laozi and Huineng as Examples

慧能禅宗思想的发展深受道家思想的影响。《老子》是道家思想的重要代表著作,老子在其著作中多次描写了"有"与"无"思想,慧能禅宗的心性论思想也对"有"与"无"有不同程度上的吸收与发展,从而体现了道禅二者的相似性。因而,从"有"与"无"的角度来比较道家与禅宗的异同,对深入了解两者的思想旨趣是不无裨益的。

The development of Huineng zen thought was deeply influenced by Taoism.Laozi is an important representative work of Ta-oist thoughts.In his works,Laozi described the thoughts of“there”and“nothing”for many times.Huineng Zen’s thought of mind and nature also absorbs and develops“there”and“nothing”in varying degrees,thus reflecting the similarity between Taoism and Zen.Therefore,comparing the similarities and differences between Taoism and Zen from the perspective of“there”and“nothing”may be helpful to understand the ideological purview of the two.
