摘　　要：语言是万物的尺度,是存在的家园。禅宗佛法明心见性,语言只是支离末节,诸法空相。佛法在世间传播,对空相和假有采取并存的思路,成为一种佛法传播的方法。《坛经》语言所著一切文字都是假有,认识到此,《坛经》只是读者成佛的注脚。《坛经》所作之人固然明晰语言难以承担表达实相的功能,主张不立文字、明心见性。但语言成为存在表达的必然,禅宗在语言与佛性的紧张中采取简化、棒喝等消极使用语言和间接限制否定语言,采用话头机锋隐喻的方式,最终使得语言与佛性达到妥协与合作。Language is the yardstick of all things as well as the home of Being.The mind can be understood and the disposition can be seen in the zen Buddhism.Language is the fragmented detail and all scriptures are empty.Buddhist doctrines spread in the world;taking the coexistent approach to emptiness and false being has become a means to disseminating Buddhism.All the words in The Sutra of Hui Neng are false being,fromwhich we knowThe Sutra of Hui Neng is only footnotes for Buddha readers.The author of The Sutra of Hui Neng makes it clear that language is hard to express truth and advocates that words shoud not be written down and that the mind can be understood and the disposition can be seen.However,language becomes the necessity of expressing Being;in the language and Buddha’s nature of zen Buddhism,language is negatively used as in simplification and koan,and language is restricted indirectly or even negated,and sometimes,metaphorical ways are used in the Buddhism,which leads to the compromise and cooperation between language and Buddha’s nature.
