答︰现在祇有四个,若从前即有七、八十啦,现在因为太少了
,所以接待很不周至。
在此记游中,值得注目的是,除了能印证《年谱》中所记载的虚云老
和尚的改革是属实外,关于此时鼓山的佛教素质,作者说︰「唉!鼓
山是台湾佛教的源流,而鼓山现在的佛教徒,又岂不是和台湾一样的
吗?」在此说的「不是一样吗?」大概是指僧徒的佛学知识素养吧!
虽然虚云在民国十八年任职该寺方丈之后,锐意改革,但效果似是不
彰。如以上叙述的寺制改革,就遭到强力的反弹,幸好在道风整理上
有些成就,恢复了鼓山禅的声望,并与金山寺、高旻寺成鼎立三足之
势。(注176) 但提升僧侣佛学素养的佛学院经营,却似失败。(注177)
兰阳行脚僧的〈鼓山纪游〉,道出当时台湾佛教的现况与鼓山差距不
太远的心声,可能不为过。本来提升僧侣佛学素养的资质,也就是教
育的功能,不可能立竿见影的。虚云的经营鼓山佛学院,不过短暂的
五、六年而已,而台湾佛教僧侣的接受现代教育,也不过早自大正六
年(1917),迟自大正十一年

(1922)以后的事,短暂的十几年间,岂能改变已有三百多年痼疾的
台湾佛教或鼓山佛教呢?在此不觉想到古人说的「百年树人」,教育
的工程毕竟不是一蹴可成的。不过谈到台湾佛教僧侣的教育,它不是
来自鼓山佛教的影响,而是因为台湾成为日本的殖民地,尤其是大正
四、五年间爆发的西来庵事件也就是□吧年事件、余清芳事件的关系
。

The Interaction of Fukien's and Taiwanese
Buddhism in Late Ming and Early Ch'ing Dynasty
Ven. Hui-yen
Associate Researcher,
Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies
Summary
This paper is a follow-up study to my paper "Early History
of Buddhism in Taiwan" which was published on Issue No.8 of
this journal. In the introduction, I quoted "most schools
came from Fukien. The robe and bowl were handed down from
Huang-po." Then, I investigate the rise and fall of Huang-po
Monastery in Tainan and its relationship with political and
military figures. I also extend my research to the monasteries
in Fukien in the context of the exchange betwenn Taiwan and
Fukien's Buddhism. For example, (1) Huang-po Monastery in
Fu-ching, (2) Ch'ang Ching Yuan Monastery, or Hsi-ch'an, in
Yi-shan, and (3) Yuon-ch'uan Monastery in Ku-shan. After
examining the history of their establishment, and analyzing
their lineage, it is confirmed that Huang-po Monastery in
Fu-ching and Hsi-ch'an in Yi-shan belong to Lin Chi School
while Yuon Ch'uan Monastery in Ku-shan belongs to Ch'ao Tung
School. Furthermore, Taiwanese Buddhism mostly originated
from Yuon Ch'uan Monastery in Ku-shan. Therefore, this paper
bases on the sangha of Kai Yuan Monastery to have a look at
the exchange of Buddhist sangha between Taiwan and Fukien
since 19th century as well as the situation of Yuon Ch'uan
Monastery at that time. Later on, due to the decline of the
strength of Yuon Ch'uan Monastery, although many Taiwanese
sangha to receive ordination, the modernization movement of
Taiwanese Buddhism could not but wait until the Hsi Lai An
Incident. Then, a turning point emerged.
