从现有研究与倪氏著作本身来看,说他“有禅宗的风味”
## 说“有禅宗风味”的几个根据
– 强调“内里”的直观与经历
倪氏相当注重内在生命、直观的属灵感觉与“灵里”的领会,
– 重体验、轻系统神学
学者指出,倪柝声有意识地把系统神学放在次要地位,
– 使用中国宗教语境作反思
倪氏在《属魂的能力》等著作中,专门点名佛教、道教的修炼方式,

倪氏的“看见”、“启示”、“异象”,不是指自性顿悟,
## 对“禅宗风味”说法的综合评价
– 若“禅宗风味”仅指:
– 讲话多用内在体验、心灵图谱;
– 重视“看见”、“实际”的生命,而不喜抽象系统;
那么,在“宗教现象学”的层面,可以说有某些“家族相似”,
– 但若暗示:
– 倪氏接受禅宗的空性观、悟道观;
– 或其神学本质上已被禅宗“禅化”;
