禅宗著名的云门三句之一“截断众流”源自汉译佛经,解释为“切断修行者的烦恼妄想”比较恰当。进入中土文献后,演变为“识见超群而能力排流俗”之义。汉译佛经和中土文献“流”认知基础的不同促使了“截断众流”意义的演变。 One of the three sentences of Zen Buddhism, Cloud Truncation, originated from the Chinese Buddhist scriptures, which is interpreted as “cutting off the worry and delusion of practitioners” is more appropriate. Into the soil after the literature, evolved into “superior knowledge and ability to drain the vulgar ” meaning. The differences in the cognitive basis of the Chinese-Buddhist scriptures and the Middle-earth literature “flow ” led to the evolution of the meaning of “cutting off the crowd ”.
