文益禅师在闽参桂琛的年代、因由、地点与卓庵处考辨

佛教史籍对禅宗法眼宗创立者清凉文益入闽参学等活动的记载互有出入。本文通过考辨认为,《景德传灯录》文益传在这方面的记载是可信的,《宋高僧传》文益传有些差错,《禅林僧宝传》、《联灯会要》、《五灯会元》的文益传所载多失实;所谓文益在漳州地藏院或罗汉院参桂琛之说不能成立;所谓文益因“阻雪而参桂琛”是南宋禅僧编造的假公案。文益禅师是于五代后梁开平末至贞明初之间入闽,在福州参慧棱禅师,贞明年间或贞明末拟往湖湘,因大雨溪涨受阻,暂寓闽城西石山（今福州市郊）地藏院而参桂琛,并一度卓庵于侯官县甘蔗洲（今福州市闽侯县甘蔗镇一带）,后移锡江西。     

挂羊头,卖狗肉

《晏子春秋·内篇杂下》曾说到"君使服之于内,而禁之于外,犹悬牛头于门而卖马肉于内(市)也"一语,但形成现代流行的这则(挂羊头,卖狗肉)谚语,则是佛教禅宗.《五灯会元·卫州元丰院清满禅师》     

好事不如无

“好事不如无”是很多禅宗祖师在启发弟子悟道时,经常说的一句禅语。如《五灯会元·赵州本传》记载：一次,赵州从谂禅师的侍者文远,正在大殿中拜佛,被赵州禅师看到了,禅师用禅杖打了他一下．问道：“你在干什么呢？”     

对谢重光先生《也谈文益禅师参桂琛的地点和年代》的回应

本文阐述了《禅林僧宝传·文益传》有关文益在“漳州石山地藏院”参桂琛的记载不可靠的理由,并指出,在桂琛传法的年代,福州有数所保福院,试图以漳州有保福院来证明“石山地藏院”同在漳州是徒劳无益的。文章从探寻桂琛最初驻锡的“石山地藏院”在何处入手,以探讨文益参桂琛的地点,同时对《也谈文益禅师参桂琛的地点和年代》作回应,从而进一步阐述了《文益禅师在闽参桂琛的年代、因由、地点与卓庵处考辨》一文中有关文益参桂琛的地点和年代的观点,特别是以佛教史籍、地方志记载和田野调查三重证据确定桂琛最初驻锡的“石山地藏院”在“闽城(福州)”。

曹山本寂禅师出家地考

曹山本寂禅师出家地考王荣国本文通过佛教史籍与福建地方志史料相应证，认为《祖堂集》、《景德传灯录》、《禅林僧宝传》等有关曹山本寂禅师出家“福州（福唐县）灵石山”的记载是可靠的，《宋高僧传》有关本寂出家“福州云名山”记载中的“云名山”，属鲁鱼亥豕，应为“...

福建比丘尼

尼众丛林与大德三国吴、晋之际，佛教传入福建。寺院的创立，始于西晋太康年间（２８０－２８９），当时福建有绍因寺、延福寺、林泉院等５座寺院。尼众的寺院始于南朝梁大通元年（５２７），位于闽县（属今福州）的法林尼寺是福建第一所尼众道场，“闽中尼寺自此始”［１］。南朝陈太建二年（５７０），怀安（属今福州）又增建一所景星尼院。据宋梁克家《（淳熙）三山志》记载，在今福州地区范围内（还包括古田、宁德、霞浦等处）一共有尼院９３所。其中建于唐代的４所，它们是位于长乐的金砂尼院与禅林尼院，分别建于唐咸通五年（８６４）…     

“勇立潮头·浙江宗教工作重点专题”系列之九 浙江衢州 推进佛教重点寺院改造提升

正衢州佛教历史悠久,约在三国时期传入,以南北朝和唐宋时代最为兴盛。历史上很多高僧在衢州潜心研究佛理,留下著述,例如唐代的大彻禅师、永明延寿禅师(曾驻锡天宁寺,完成禅宗论著《宗镜录》100卷)、明代传灯法师等。被收入《高僧传》《五灯会元》《传灯录》《明一统志》《两浙明贤外录》等史书的衢州高僧有21人。1923年衢县佛教会成立时,近代高僧弘一法师曾来衢主持其事,赠送玉佛及大藏经,     

唐伊阙伏牛自在禅师及其文学创作

伏牛山自在禅师系唐代著名禅师马祖道一(709-788)法嗣,也是河南佛教圣地伏牛山的实际开创者,亦是将洪州禅法自南方传入京洛的重要人物,然而传世文献对其记载并不多。最早收录伏牛自在禅师的资料是编于南唐时的《祖堂集》,可惜记载不详;《景德传灯录》、《宋高僧传》、《鉴诫录》及《云岩寺记》碑文,对伏牛自在禅师也略有提及。通过以上文献大体可勾勒出自在禅师的生平事迹及禅法。     

From the fixity of the past to the fixity of the independent

There is an old but powerful argument for the claim that exhaustive divine foreknowledge is incompatible with the freedom to do otherwise. A crucial ingredient in this argument is the principle of the “Fixity of the Past” (FP). A seemingly new response to this argument has emerged, the so-called “dependence response,” which involves, among other things, abandoning FP for an alternative principle, the principle of the “Fixity of the Independent” (FI). This paper presents three arguments for the claim that FI ought to be preferred to FP.

     

On the interaction of the subject and the experiment in the matching model

Two types of matching designs, static and dynamic, are differentiated. While all matching designs are logically the same in terms of the probability model which determines chance level of performance, an attempt is made to demonstrate that there is an interaction between the tactics, strategies, and actual knowledge ofS and the type of design used which will, in turn, lead to different results even whenS's knowledge is held constant. It is suggested that analogous situations may exist within the framework of the traditional psychometric model.The work reported in this paper was supported by a National Science Foundation Undergraduate Research Participation Grant (NSF-G15797) to the senior author. The authors are indebted to Joel E. Greene for his advice and criticism.     

In the beginning was the doing: the premises of the practical syllogism

If practical reasoning deserves its name, its form must be different from that of ordinary (theoretical) reasoning. A few have thought that the conclusion of practical reasoning is an action, rather than a mental state. I argue here that if the conclusion is an action, then so too is one of the premises. You might reason your way from doing one thing to doing another: from browsing journal abstracts to reading a particular journal article. I motivate this by sympathetically re-examining Hume's claim that a conclusion about what ought to be done follows only from an argument one of whose premises is likewise about what ought to be done.     

城市化与道德嬗变

从 1 9世纪开始的大规模城市化进程是和工业化、商品化、市场化密不可分的。它带来了社会人际关系的变化和道德嬗变。它使业缘道德取代血缘道德成为社会道德的中心 ,并通过交换行为和交换价值促进道德发展和更新 ,还进一步确立了竭诚服务的社会理念。城市化是人类社会的进步 ,是现代社会文明。
