论《聊斋志异》的禅学层次

A Study on "Liao Zhai Zhi Yi" in Terms of the Doctrine of Zen Buddhism

《聊斋志异》的相关篇章表明:当时世俗社群在禅学的理解上的深浅之别,构成了该书之禅学思想的内部层次。《聊斋志异》中,禅学所处的外在层次,则是在佛教内其他宗派的题材和与佛教有关的民间信仰题材的衬托下凸显出来的。禅学思致在《聊斋志异》艺术结构里的布局,可依其存在形式大致分为全体式、部分式、点缀式三类。烛照《聊斋志异》的禅学思致,当有益于古代小说研究境域的拓展。

It has been indicated in some articles that the doctrines of Zen Buddhism （Chan） included in ＂Liao Zhai Zhi Yi＂ can be seen at two levels, namely, the inner level and the outer level. The former is how the ordinary people at that time interpreted about the Zen Buddhism, while the latter is made obvious in being compared with literatures of other religions and beliefs. The doctrines of Zen Buddhism embodied in ＂Liao Zhai Zhi Yi＂ can be divided into three categories with regards to their existing forms： existing as a whole, as a part and as a decoration.By studying them, this paper helps to enlarge the research fields of the ancient fictions.
