摘　　要：明清易代之际,士大夫逃禅成风,为禅宗的弘扬增添了新鲜血液。天然函昰禅师在这样的时代背景下出家弘法,于岭南大振曹洞宗风,摄受数千僧俗,使丛林为道德所属,缙绅遗老云集礼归,于乱世得一安庇之所。在肃杀的文化氛围中,造就一个传统文化光芒闪烁的亮点和传递文化的驿站,并给清朝统治者以震撼和影响,加强了汉族文化对满族文化的同化作用,文化趋同的过程得以产生和延续。禅宗既有对社会的超越,也要回应时代的需求,以便用此种宗教之超越来净化人心、安顿生命,这是在任何时期都不可回避的问题。抚古思今,如何将禅法的弘化与时代之需求衔接,亦当是天然和尚留给当代岭南佛教中最值深思之财富。During the Ming-Qing dynastic transition many Ming loyalists converted to Zen in order to avoidthe social turmoil, in this way they also promoted the spreading of Zen. Tianran Hanshi was one of these Chanmasters. He attracted thousands of monks and laymen and revived the Caodong sect of Zen in Lingnan area. Inthe harsh cultural atmosphere, Tianran Hanshi established a glorious posthouse to deliver Chinese traditionalculture as well as impressed the Qing rulers and promoted the assimilation of Manchu culture into Han culture.Zen was not only extramundane but also capable of responding to the need of the reality and to purify one＇sspirit. How to combine the spreading of Zen teachings with the need of the times, is the profound question left byMonk Tianran to modern Lingnan Buddhism.
