明珠香海禅师 (1628-1715) 生活于越南后黎朝时代(1427-1789)末期。这是一个历史 大变动的时代。此时的后黎王朝虽然在形式上仍是一个统一国家，但实际上国家的实权已 经分属于两个互相敌对的势力——郑氏(郑主)和阮氏(阮主)。当时国家被分割成两个 部分地区，以峥江为界限，峥江以北叫北河，归黎王郑氏管辖，峥江以南叫南河，由阮氏 统治，国家陷于内战，郑氏与阮氏经过七次交战(1627—1672)而不分胜败，从而形成南 北分治的局面。 当时佛教传承除延续越南本地法脉以外，还接纳了中国的禅宗。中国禅宗的名僧赴越 南各地弘法，特别是临济宗与曹洞宗已经开始在越南南河积极地活动起来，而明珠香海禅 师的法脉就来源于属于中国临济禅派突空智板支派的碌湖圆景禅师与大深圆宽禅师。 明珠香海禅师出生于名门世阀，祖先四代都在越南南河为官，深通儒学，十八岁乡试 中举，入阮主府做文职，之后被任命为肇豊知府。黎神宗庆德四年，即戊辰年(1652)他 先后受教于两位中国禅师——碌湖圆景禅师与大深圆宽禅师，三年后，他于二十八岁辞官 出家。 得法之后，他建立道场、讲经说法，弘化一方，对越南南河和北河佛教弘传都有极大 的影响，而他最突出的贡献当数在越南北河开创佛经注解与诗文创作(1682-1715)，时人 论佛必称明珠香海。据记载，其作品有二十部三十卷(现存四部五卷)。他得到了南河、 北河两边的统治者的敬重与支持，帮助他广开弘法事业，在越南佛教历史上有突出的地位。 本文以明珠香海禅师作为研究对象，考究其从南河到北河的弘法过程以及对越南佛教传播 的影响作用。 本文可分为以下四个部分:绪论。首先论述了选题缘起、研究目的和创新点等方面;然 后对已有研究成果以及新进展进行综述。 第二部分，明珠香海禅师的生平事迹与越南当时 的社会历史背景以及越南佛教和禅宗的发展脉络。第三部分，明珠香海禅师的诗文著作及 其禅法思想。这部分首先列述其诗文著作的情况，然后详细论述其禅学思想及禅修方法。 第四部分，明珠香海禅师的后世传承与影响。对明珠香海禅师“真”、“如”“性”字辈 等历代法子及其法脉传承进行梳理;进一步从越南佛教和国家民族文化两个方面，对其历 史贡献和影响进行了详细阐述。
