温庭筠禅思想论析

The Interpretation of Wen Ting-yun’s Zen Thought

温庭筠游历佛寺,广结佛缘,与宗密禅师瓜葛颇深,明显受到了主张“直指知见”的荷泽宗禅思想的影响。文人对宗教思想的诠释是自由的。温庭筠还广泛接受了《庄子》、《涅槃经》和洪州宗的影响,旗帜鲜明地反对坐禅,重视直心自得的体证,认为人在世俗生活中就可能得到心灵的自由与解脱,使他的禅思想向“自然适意”的方向发展。但是,温庭筠执著于“诸行无常”的“生灭法”,始终无法臻于“寂灭为乐”的禅理的终极境界。

Wen Ting-yun visited Buddhist temples and made friends with many Buddhist disciples. He had a close relation with Zen master of Zong-mi and was apparently affected by the thought of “straight speech of intellection”of He-ze Zen Sect. He also was influenced by the books of Master Chuangtse, Nirvana Sutra and Hong-zhou Zen Sect. He apparently opposed “sit in meditation” and set a high value on“ perceiving intuitively and straightforwardly”. He thought people could gain freedom and detachment of mind in the secular world. But because of his persistence in the nirvana method of impermanence, he couldn’t come to the ultimate realm of Zen thought which takes nirvana for pleasure.
