“轮回”的虚妄与人生之空

Fantasy of Samsara and Emptiness of Life

《丰饶之海》是三岛由纪夫最后一部长篇巨著,共分为四部:《春雪》《奔马》《晓寺》和《天人五衰》。其中第四部《天人五衰》在为小说收尾的同时,也为三岛由纪夫本人的创作和人生收了尾。佛教中"轮回"的概念是从第一部《春雪》开始就涉及到的贯穿整个《丰饶之海》的主线。虽然有轮回的主题贯穿始终,可是贯穿四部小说的主人公本多繁邦穷其一生都在确认一个谜题:是否真的有轮回一说?这成为本多挥之不去的心病,并且为此而奔波。可以说,这也是作家三岛心里的疑问。对《天人五衰》进行解读,找到三岛由纪夫文学写作的主题,可以为我们的人生提供借鉴。
