以《坛经》“顿渐品”为中心看南北禅宗的异同

The Differences and Similarities between the Southern School and the Northern School of Zen by Focusing on the Chapter of “The Sudden and Gradual Approach” in the Platform Sutra

禅宗从五祖弘忍大师传到六祖惠能时,分为了南宗和北宗。对于南北禅宗的比较研究,众多先行研究较多是从南宗的"顿悟"与北宗的"渐悟"之间的区别来论述南北两宗的不同之处。文章通过以宗宝本《坛经》的"顿渐"品为中心,从"坐禅"、"戒定慧"两个方面分析南北两宗的"异",以及从"顿渐"的本质分析南北两宗的"同"。

Zen was divided into the Southern School and the Northern School during the transition from the fifth patriarch Hongren to the sixth patriarch Huineng.
