| 摘要 | This dissertation examines the life of the Chinese Buddhist monk Fa-jung (A.D. 594-657), the "first patriarch" of the Ox-head Ch'an school, from the perspective of local social history. Fa-jung was involved in the development of a new form of southern Buddhism which arose during the period A.D. 550-650. The information from local gazetteers, imperial histories, and Buddhist sources provide the materials for a study of the relationships between Liang, Ch'en, and Sui dynasties society and southern Buddhism. These changing "church-state" relationships are examined from both the Buddhist and imperial perspectives. The overthrow of the aristocratic classes by the han-men social class is a major development in sixth century southern society and provides this study with its major social focus. The development of new forms of southern Buddhism is considered in relationship to this new social change in the South.After evaluating the socio-religious pattern of southern Buddhist history during the sixth century a study is made of Fa-jung's social background which determines that his family belonged to the han-men class. A chapter is devoted to the religious geography of Fa-jung's residence on the Mount Niu-t'ou range. The following chapter examines his Buddhist affiliations through an indepth study of the meditation traditions pursued by members of the southern San-lun school. Two chapters are then devoted to an investigation of Fa-jung's own religious behavior in terms of meditation and exegesis. Fa-jung's career as an exegesis master was closely involved with the Ta chi ching. The role of the Ta chi ching in Fa-jung's religious life and in late sixth and early seventh century Chinese Buddhism is studied.In general, this dissertation views the emergence of Sui-T'ang Buddhism in south China as the product of that region's contemporary social and religious trends. Fa-jung, a member of the South's most important social class and a student of a major new Buddhist school in the South, represented the interaction of these new forces in southern China during the early T'ang dynasty. |
