摘要
作为智顗生前的助手及其圆寂后的接班人,灌顶在天台宗发展史上举足轻重。可以说,天台宗创始于智顗,但却成熟于灌项,这有三方面的表现:他将智顗一生所宣讲的“天台学”整理结集成文字流传后世,使天台宗有了自己的文字经典;他为智顗集史作传,使天台宗有了自己的教主;他将还不太为人所熟悉的“天台学”与当时在社会上有广泛群众基础的“涅槃学”进行融通,引导大批“涅槃学”的信徒皈依于天台宗,使天台宗有了自己的组织体系。这最后一个方面体现了灌顶在佛学上的创新以及对智顗的超越,并最终使天台宗成为一个强有力的既有理论体系又拥有较多信徒的有组织的佛教宗派。
Guan Ding, Zhi Yi＇s aide and successor, plays an important role in the development of Tiantai Sect. Tiantai Sect is established by Zhi Yi and Guan Ding helps to reach its maturity： first, he collects and edits what Zhi Yi has preached and makes it classic of Tiantai Sect; second, he writes a biography for Zhi Yi＇s works, and Tiantai Sects thus has its own founder; lastly, he mixes ＂Study of Tiantai＂, unfamiliar to people at that time, and prevailing ＂Buddhism＂, which makes many followers of ＂ Buddhism＂ converted to Tiantai Sect and Tiantai Sect thus owns its organization, which shows Guan Ding＇s bringing new ideas in the Buddhism and his surpassing. Tiantai Sect consequently turns into a forceful Buddhism organization with many followers and its own theoretical system.
