梁漱溟论儒佛异同与会通

面对中国文化的危机,梁漱溟超越文化上的夷夏之争和伦理矛盾的冲突,在广义的文化比较层面进行了深入的思考。梁漱溟认为,儒佛二学只是手段、途径、步骤的不同而已,二者本质上都是在解决人世间所面对的许多困惑与苦难,儒、佛对生命意义关怀的一致性,使其同为人类自己向内用功进修提高的一种学问。梁漱溟把大乘佛学的佛性说与儒家的仁心相沟通,在一定意义上,使佛家的“无我为本”与儒家的“有本不穷”会通了起来,这为其后的现代新儒家探讨心性开辟了重要的理路。由于梁漱溟思想上亦儒亦佛的二重性,儒家在相当程度上被佛化了。他的文化哲学带有浓厚的宗教气息。尽管如此,构成梁漱溟思想理论主体的仍是儒学。

Liang Shuming''''s Discussion of the Common Grounds and Dissimilarities between the Confucianism and the Buddhism

Facing with the crisis of Chinese culture,Liang Shuming,jumped out of the cultural arguments of Chinese nationalities and the ethical conflicts when he made his thinking in a broadly cultural level.He suggested that though both the Confucianism and the Buddhism are different in means,ways and procedures,they have been essentially attempting to solve the puzzles and hardships people have faced in the world.Both Confucianism and Buddhism concern the meaning of life,making it a learning for people's internal improvement.Liang Shuming connected the buddhatva of Dachen Buddhism with the benevolence of Confucianism.In a certain sense,he joined the Buddhism thought and that of Confucianism together,and he opened an important road for the modern Neo-Confucians to discuss the mind.Due to the dual character in his thought,that's to say,he's affected by both the Confucianism and the Buddhism and influenced most by the latter,his culture philosophy was of strong religious breath.For all this,the main thought of Liang Shuming is still the Confucianism's.
