<正>一、胡适的困惑"顿悟成佛"是禅宗的核心教义。在禅宗史上,人们之所以推六祖慧能为禅宗的实际创始人,而不是早期的其他祖师,就是因为慧能开创了"直指人心,见性成佛"的"顿教"法门。所谓"南能北秀"或"南顿北渐",反映的正是以慧能为代表的南宗"顿悟"禅和以神秀为代表的北宗"渐悟"

Insight enlightenment is the core conception in Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism emphasizes enlightenment rather than knowledge, regarding enlightenment as the fusion of subjective and objective. It also considers that the cognition of subjective and objective aims at gaining nothing (无所得)which means the knowing of knowing nothing(不知之知)and the breaking of an obsession. The goal Zen Buddhism pursued is not about the positive knowledge, but the state of ignorance(无所得).The characteristics of negative thought(负的思维)and moral cognition(德性之知)possessed by the insight enlightenment of Zen Buddhism are unique to Chinese traditional culture, which at some degree have reflected the characteristic of inner sageliness(内圣)in Chinese traditional philosophy.
