金代度僧制度初探

王德朋  

摘要：金代度僧制度是对唐宋以来度僧制度的继承和发展，具体包括恩度、试经、鬻卖、私度等几个途径。在度僧数量方面，金章宗承安元年才得以规范，但并未得到认真执行。在僧人受戒年龄方面，金代大体遵行了年满二十以上方可受戒的规定。金代度僧制度折射出了金代佛教发展的连续性、复杂性、独特性。

A Preliminary Study of the Regulations of Monk Ordination in the Jin Dynasty  

Wang Depeng

Abstract:The regulation of monk ordination in the Jin Dynasty inherited and developed the regulation since the Tang and Song Dynasties, including the ways of imperial decree, examination of sutras, sale of the certificate, and private ordination. The number permitted to be monks was standardized in 1196 during the reign of Emperor Zhangzong of Jin, but was not strictly executed. On the age to be initiated into monkhood, the regulation of twenty and over was generally abided throughout the Jin Dynast. The regulation of monk ordination in the Jin Dynasty reflected the continuity, complexity, and independency of the development of Buddhism during this period.
