知礼的解行事业：以寺院住持为前提

摘要

北宋佛教思想家知礼，将追求觉悟解脱的个体生命活动，落实到传持天台宗的具体事业中，研习教典，讲论宗义，如理观修，精心撰述，始终禀持天台宗所倡解行一体的实践原则。他对天台圆宗哲学思想的如实阐发，不仅回应了时代提出的一些佛学问题，更令智顗所创汉语思维的精致模型得以焕发与延续。这让他成为佛教思想史、中国哲学史研究不能绕过的人物。知礼自觉担负的使命须依托合适的寺院环境才能真正达成，故在此从寺院住持或管理维度综观其毕生解行事业。%Zhi Li,a Buddhist thinker in North Song dynasty,applied the pursuit of consciousness and extrication in individual life activities to the specific undertakings of abotting the Tiantai Sect,studied the classics of the religion, preached its doctrines,cultivated his original nature faithfully,and composed elaborately,abiding by the practical principle of Tiantai Sect———exegesis and practice as an integrity.His elucidation of the philosophical thoughts of Tiantai Sect not only responded to some current Buddhism questions,but also made glow and continue the delicate model of thinking-with-Chinese created by Zhi Yi.He thus became a person cannot be neglected in the history of Buddhist ideas and the history of Chinese philosophy.The mission undertook by Zhi Li can only be accomplished in the appropriate conditions of a temple,which makes it necessary to study his life-long career of Buddhism exegesis and practice from the dimension of temple management or of his position as a temple abbot.
