石头希迁与禅宗解缚公案之探究

Study about Shitou Xiqian and Unfasten bound Gong-an of Chinese Chan sect

禅宗历来盛传的"解缚"公案,有三祖僧璨和石头希迁两个版本。通过爬梳佛教典籍,可以发现三祖寺解缚石所承载的僧璨为道信"解缚"的故事极有可能是以石头希迁解缚故事为原型,而石头希迁的解缚公案又可上溯至《佛说转女身经》中舍利弗与无垢光女的对话。石头希迁解缚公案所蕴含的深妙禅学思想,与六祖惠能"心性本净"的心性论思想是一脉相承的,反映了佛教解脱观的核心内容。

The unfasten bound Gong-an of Chinese Chan sect has two different versions about Seng Can and Shitou Xiqian. By probing the Buddhist classics,it can be found the story that Seng Can help Dao Xin release himself on the unfasten bound stone of the third patriarch temple is very likely to the story of Shitou Xiqian. The unfasten bound Gong-an of Shitou Xiqian contains profound thought of Chinese Chan sect which is with the same strain of the theory of heart mind of Hui Neng,and it reflects the core content of outlook of release in Buddhist.
