Record of Lay Practitioners' Transmission of the Lamp (居士分燈錄)


儒佛配合
儒佛二教聖人,其設化各有所主,固不必岐而二之,亦不必強而合之。何也?儒主治世,佛主出世。治世則自應如《大學》,格致、誠正、修齊、治平足矣,而過於高深,則綱常倫理不成安立;出世則自應窮高極深,方成解脫,而於家國天下不無稍疎,蓋理勢自然,無足怪者。若定謂「儒即是佛」,則六經、《論》、《孟》,諸典燦然備具,何俟釋迦降誕、達磨西來?定謂「佛即是儒」,則何不以《楞嚴》、《法華》理天下,而必假羲農堯舜創制於其上?孔孟諸賢明道於其下,故二之合之,其病均也。雖然,圓機之士,二之亦得,合之亦得,兩無病焉,又不可不知也。
