心灵救赎与自我调适——两岸佛禅散文价值取向比较

Soul-saving and Self-adjustment:the Buddhist and Zen Prose Works across the Straits

主张明心见性的佛禅散文近年来在海峡两岸都较受关注。作为传统文化的表现文本之一,佛禅散文直接或间接地表达着作家理念、文化意志和社会情状。从两岸同题文本看,佛禅散文并非单纯表现佛理禅思,而多"佛儒相融",以特有的宗教关怀观照社会,传情达意。两岸佛禅散文虽然同样关注人生本质、境遇和归宿,却花开各异,具有不同的价值取向特点。台湾作家更关注社会众生,注重启发人心,大陆作家则更具个性色彩,注重自我心境的表达。

Sufficient attention has been paid to the Buddhist and Zen prose works across the Taiwan Straits for their engagement in introspection and perception of the true nature of one's being. As one of the genres to represent the gist of traditional culture, such prose works not only represent Buddhist ideas, but also Confucian ideas to express their religious social concerns. Although the Buddhist and Zen prose works across the Taiwan Straits don't differentiate from concerns about the true nature of being, existence, and the ultimate end, they demonstrate different characteristics in styles and values. Taiwan's such prose writers are more concerned with others' state of being for enlightenment and inspiration, while the Mainland writers are more individualistic and more concerned with personal introspection and meditation.
