在南宗禪特徵性思想中培養的中國傳統思想考察

Abstract

As we all know, as a part of Chinese traditional culture, the formation of Chinese traditional thought is more or less affected by the mainstream religion of China. Among them, as the most influential mainstream religion in China, Buddhism, especially the Southern Zen in Chinese Buddhism, has a great influence on the formation of Chinese traditional thoughts. In a broad sense, Southern Zen refers to the general name of Chinese Zen sects after the Sixth Patriarch Huineng. It is the authentic Zen sect. Since Zen was introduced into China, it has absorbed Chinese traditional thoughts, such as Confucianism and Taoism metaphysics, which are more inclusive of Chinese traditional ideology and culture. Therefore, Chinese Zen has a very strong vitality.From the perspective of practice methods and doctrines, Southern Zen advocates the "  self-directed epiphany ", emphasizing "self-sufficiency in nature". Everyone has Buddha nature, which is more suitable for the religious belief needs of the Chinese people. It has become an irreplaceable representative sect of Buddhism in the hearts of the Chinese people. In the long historical development and evolution, the Southern Zen, together with Chinese traditional culture and traditional thought, has shaped the Chinese people's character of "peace is the most precious", inspired the Chinese people's independent self of "Spontaneity and unconcerned", made up for the shortcomings of Chinese traditional thought, affected the Chinese people's thought and aesthetics, and played a very important role in promoting the Chinese society.Although Southern Zen has a certain foundation of believers, in the current Chinese society, Southern Zen is not paid attention to, and its ideological characteristics have not been well developed, which is extremely unfavorable to Chinese traditional thought and culture. The rapid development of Chinese society can not be separated from the support of strong spiritual beliefs, and Southern Zen is one of the indispensable spiritual forces.This paper innovatively places the Southern Zen in the traditional Chinese thought for investigation. Based on the spread and influence of Southern Zen in the traditional Chinese social thought, it analyzes the important role that Southern Zen can play in the traditional Chinese thought. Through the way of historical literature research, it seeks to use the characteristic concept of Southern Zen to enhance the connotation of traditional Chinese thought, and explores the path of rapid development of Southern Zen in the new era of China, Make it better serve the spiritual and cultural life of Chinese people.
