南宋初期的士大夫张九成是著名禅师大慧宗杲的居士弟子,虽然遭受秦桧一党的迫害,他们仍保持以法为重的心境交流禅法。张九成礼敬宗杲,却也不盲目崇信,甚至提出异议;宗杲肯定张九成的证境,但仍继续教示,甚至严辞批评他的不周之处。这些事迹从侧面反映了他们的交流氛围和心态,是了解当时禅师与士大夫弟子关系的鲜活一例。 In the early Southern Song Dynasty, doctor-in-charge Zhang Jiucheng was a lay disciple of the famous Zen master Daizong Zongluo. Although he was persecuted by a party of Qin Hui, they still maintained the dignity of law-centered exchange of Zen Buddhism. Zhang Jiucheng, however, did not blindly believe in or even raise objections. Zong Xun confirmed the permit of Zhang Jiucheng, but he still continued to teach and even criticized his ill-posedness. These stories reflect the atmosphere and mentality of their exchanges from the side and are vivid examples of the relationship between the master and the scholar-officials at that time.
