死心悟新禪法的承襲與融會

宋代佛教是一個轉折期的佛教，各宗派面臨的時代性的課題，即是如何在此轉折期的時代下發展與融合。死心悟新禪師（1043~1115），為臨濟宗黃龍派第二世晦堂祖心禪師之法嗣。本文藉由文獻整理，先敘述死心悟新禪師所處之時代背景、介紹禪師生平。接著，探討死心禪師禪法之承襲與融會。簡要言之，死心禪師所承襲的禪法包含以下五點：直指本心；不拘一格；不執著文字、強調實修；黃龍三關的流變；以無學之學的精神融通內外經典，吸引士大夫禪悅風氣。此外，死心禪師並將雲門宗活句與頌拈古的特色，以及念佛可定心亦可升淨土的概念，融會至自己的禪法之中，使其禪法進一步圓融和諧。黃龍派自慧南禪師起，即有融攝諸宗的的精神，無怪乎慧南下二三世時期，黃龍派已是當時最盛行之宗派，本文之研究結果，即還原死心悟新禪師在當時具代表性的歷史地位與重要性。
