“无有众苦,但受诸乐”──从《受戒》看汪曾祺的佛教文化意识

"No People have Suffered, but All are Living Happily"──Buddhist Cultural Awareness of Wang Zeng-qi from Initiated into Monkhood

和尚恋爱在中国传统文学中是一个禁区。汪曾祺的《受戒》却将宗教与爱情,佛性与人性和谐地融为一体。《受戒》消解了佛教作为信仰的严肃性,漠视佛教的清规戒律,张扬人性,倡扬人们充分地享受生活,回到"人间佛教"中,构建了一个"无有众苦,但受诸乐"的美好世界。这是《受戒》中体现的佛教文化意识,也是中国传统思想文化以儒家为主流,儒道佛教精神共同构成的艺术化的人生。

The monk＇s love is forbidden in Buddhism and a restricted area in traditional Chinese literatui＇e. In Wang Zeng-qi＇s novel Initiated into Monkhood, however, religion and love, Buddha-nature and human nature are merged harmoniously. Initiated into Monkhood clears up the belief of Buddhism seriously and ignores the disciplines of Buddhism by publicizing the human nature and advocating people to enjoy the life fully. It returns to the ＂Humanistic Buddhism＂ and constructs a better world in which no people have suffered, but all are living happily. It is the Buddhist cultural awareness from Initiated into Monkhood and is also the spirit of the artistic life which constituted by the main Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism together.
