摘要

The Venerable Monk Xuyun (1840?-1959), although generally thought of as a Chan monk, studied the Tiantai system of Buddhism under the renowned Master Rongjing for many years, and was also an advocate for the Pure Land method of Buddha recitation. Indeed, it has been stated that he was considered for the title of Thirteenth Patriarch of the Pure Land School however that title went to Xuyun's contemporary, the Venerable Monk Yinguang (1861 - 1940). This article will look to consider Xuyun's thoughts on, advocation of, and cultivation practices of the Chan and Pure Land Dharma Doors. It will also explore Chan / Pure Land advocates throughout Chinese Buddhist history, in addition to examining other important monks throughout Xuyun's lifetime, and will survey the history of Buddhism in China during Xuyun's lifetime.

儘管虛雲法師（1840?-1959）通常被視為一個禪僧，他曾隨榮景大師研習天台教理多年，也是淨土念佛法門的積極宣導者。的確，據說他也是淨土宗的第十三祖，但是這個頭銜真正的歸屬是虛雲大師的同輩，印光大師（1861-1940）。本文將研究虛雲關於禪淨法門的思想和弘揚，也將探討禪淨二宗在中國佛教史上的弘傳，此外它也將概論虛雲時代的中國佛教及其他重要的僧人。
