The Study of Master Huang‐Long‐Huei‐Nan

[[abstract]]黃龍惠南為宋代臨濟宗第五代宗匠，開黃龍宗，於中國禪史上，地位極為顯赫、重要。現代黃龍惠南研究，一般而言，對於較完整惠南文獻之掌握，頗不足夠。他們所能取得關於惠南生平、思想的研究成果，往往，遂顯得過於簡略、不夠完備。本文共參考三種現代禪宗書目提要工具書：會性法師之《大藏會閱》、李淼之《中國禪宗大全》，與佛光山《禪藏》之《附錄》，調查、掌握較完備惠南古今文獻，共27種。以此為基，對惠南之生平、思想，進行較客觀之文獻分析。關於惠南生平，我們對於他人生約共五階段歷史，可得到一個較客觀、完備的理解。另關於惠南思想，我們對於他說佛道之義涵、接引學人悟道的方法，以及著名「黃龍三關」思想，亦可得到一較客觀、完備之理解了。 Huang-Long-Huei-Nan was the fifth generation of representative master of Lin-Chi-Zong in the Song Dynasty. He possessed a significant position in the Chinese Zen history. Contemporary research on Huang-Long-Huei-Nan, in general, lacks a thorough apprehension of Huei-Nan literature. Their studies on Huei-Nan's lifespan and thoughts appeared to be overly simplistic, unsophisticated and incomplete. With references to three categories of Zen abstract index literature, involving Huei-Xing Sutra Master's Da-Zhang Digha Nikaya, Li-Miao's Chinese Zeng-Zong Overview, and appendices included in the Fong Guong Shan's publication of Zeng Collections, the intended study undertakes a more complete investigation of Huei-Nan's literature, totaling 27 items. Hence, the study attempts an objective analysis of Huei-Nan's life and thoughts, depicting a succinct understanding of five phases of Huei-Nan's life tracks. Also, the study furthers our comprehension of Huei-Nan's Buddhism ideology which prompts scholars' epiphany, and his thoughts of ＂Huang-Long Three Thresholds＂
