摘要

微嘉法師是19、20世紀之交福建省莆田市梅峰光孝寺的重興祖，他早年自原鄉福建仙遊縣南遊英殖民時代的馬來半島，是馬來西亞怡保市南郊廣福巖寺的開山祖師，更在原籍地重興祖庭，其續字所成的梅峰曹洞法脈，迄今仍在莆田市梅峰光孝寺傳沿不輟，該寺也成為東南亞微嘉法師一系法脈的祖庭。微嘉法師在馬來西亞的出身道場廣福巖寺，迄今雖然仍有住持僧，但已無常住僧人。然廣福巖寺是迄今所知馬來西亞漢傳佛教最早由僧人創立的正規佛教道場，歷史意義重大。本文擬在既得史料與文獻的基礎上，辨析相關的信息所反映的時代與發展過程，來進一步釐清有關微嘉法師出家與廣福巖寺開山的歷史，以彌補微嘉法師與廣福巖寺在馬來西亞漢傳佛教研究中「被遺忘」的遺憾。
