摘　　要：本文从六祖法统之争入手,指出神会北上与北宗相互争夺本宗才是正统传承的过程中,双方都借助了亲近本宗的外护力量,使本来应该是辩理正源的祖位之争,演变成双方外护力量势力的较量。因为时局的变幻,让双方的外护力量发生了此消彼长的强弱变化,从而使神会最终从祖位之争当中胜出。从居士外护的重要性回看达摩祖师与梁武帝会面,反证了祖师要广度有情行菩萨道,离不开居士外护的强力支持。This paper begins with the contest for the Dharma lineage of the Sixth Patriarch,pointing out that it was in the process of orthodox transmission that Master Shenhui ascended northward,engaging in mutual competition with the Northern Sect.Both sides sought the support of external forces close to the main sect,turning what should have been a debate over the rightful source of the patriarchal lineage into a power struggle between the external forces of both sides.Due to the changing circumstances,the external support on both sides experienced fluctuations in strength,ultimately leading to Master Shenhui’s victory in the contest for the patriarchal position.Looking back at the significance of lay supporters,it is evident in the meeting between Patriarch Bodhidharma and Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty,which demonstrates that even the Patriarch,in his quest to widely propagate the Bodhisattva path for the benefit of sentient beings,relied heavily on the strong support of lay supporters.
