论岑参的佛教情结

On Buddhist Complex of Cen Shen in the Tang Dynasty

岑参的涉佛诗歌,充满浓厚的佛教意趣。岑氏家族的灾难以及岑参祖上与佛教的结缘,对岑参心向佛禅产生了一定的影响。求取功名、宏扬祖先伟业的抱负,使岑参一生奔波于仕途;世道多变,仕途坎坷,忧谗畏讥的心态和多愁善感的性格,又使岑参渴求皈依佛门,解脱世俗烦恼和精神痛苦。因此,岑参一生都处在禅心与尘惑的矛盾之中。

The poems by Cen Shen were full of Buddhist color, because his ancestors who believed in Buddhism had influence on him. However, Cen Shen＇s Confucian thoughts made him seek for success and fame, but the social conditions and his sentimental personality brought about his failure. And at last he believed in Buddhism and escaped the troubles in the society. So we can say that Cen Shen was in the contradiction of Buddhism and worldly life.
