摘要
中古早期南方地区的普通僧人,主要依靠向原有地方神庙争夺资源与信众、向商贾求取布施、乞食等方式,以维持生计;特别着意于在滨海、河湖地带以及山区活动,以得到渔人、山民的供养。南方佛教寺院较少得到君王贵族布施的田产,故普通僧人一般亦不从事耕作。北、南方地区僧人生计的差别,根源于北、南方地区政治经济与社会文化环境之差别,对于佛教的传播、影响及其派别的形成与演化也产生了深刻的影响。
The ordinary monastics in Southern China during the early medieval period obtained the necessary resources for livelihood and dissemination of Buddhism mainly in the following ways: competing for resources and devotees with existing local temples; seeking alms and charities from local merchants; or simply begging for sustenance, especially among local fishermen and mountain people. And they particularly emphasized activities in the coastal and mountainous areas. The ordinary monastics in Southern China generally did not engage in agricultural work, because their usually boasted less farmland in the form of donations from the monarchy, the nobilities and other wealthy landowners, as their northern counterparts fellows did and had. This distinction in the livelihood of southern and northern monastics was rooted in the disparities in the political, economic, social and cultural circumstances between South and North, which produced profound effects in the transmission of Buddhism, the formation and evolution of different sects or schools of Buddhism in the upcoming Sui - and - Tang Period.
