当头棒喝

from 成语典故

当头棒喝 【释义】棒喝:指佛家禅宗,祖师促人领悟佛理时,常一棒击下。比喻为了促人醒悟,给予严正警告或打击。 【出处】宋·道原《景德传灯录》 唐代和尚慧能,悉心研修佛理,一天忽然悟道,知道一个人只要有诚心,一心向佛,就能得到超生,升人佛境,不必日日夜夜念经打坐,苦用功夫。由此创立佛教禅宗的又一门派——南宗顿悟派。所谓“顿悟”,意指一下子悟道,与“渐悟”(逐渐地悟道)相对而言。 根据此理论,传佛教道理的禅师在接待初学者或求教者时,就不再用喋喋不休地对来者讲解佛理的做法,而往往用木棒当头一击或大喝一声,以促其领悟。如有一位叫希运的禅师,接待来求教之人,总是先不问情由地给对方一棒,或大喝一声,而后提出问题,要对方不假思索,当即回答,以此来检验此人对佛教是否虔诚,对佛理是否有所认识和认识到什么程度。后来,这种棒喝成了佛门传教的主要方法之一。
