【摘要】 紫柏大师达观真可,是生活在明代的嘉靖到万历中前期的一位佛教界的著名高僧,他和莲池大师祩宏、憨山大师德清、藕益大师智旭,被并称为晚明四大高僧。紫柏大师还和著名思想家李贽一起被时人并称为“二大教主”。作为佛教界的高僧,紫柏大师一生很少开堂说法,也从未做过某个寺院的住持,但他通过云游天下,传道说法;主持方册《大藏经》的刻印;主持兴复十几处寺院等方式,振兴晚明佛教。在思想上,他主张三教会通并纠合禅、净。因而黄宗羲论其对振兴晚明佛教的贡献时说:“自楚石以后,佛法中衰,得憨山、紫柏而再振”。此外,紫柏大师还积极交结朝野上下,热心救世,他反对万历朝的矿监税使政策,最后因朝廷中的政争而被牵连入狱至死。紫柏大师虽为佛教界的高僧,但通过他的经历,不仅可以透视出晚明思想界的变迁,而且也是研究万历社会的一个独特视角。
