论庄子“无常”理念

On the Thought of Zhuangzi's “Impermanence”

在佛法看来,观诸行无常,能让世人破执、对现实生厌离心而出世间,终得悦心解脱。中国古代哲学家庄子也具有类似的看法。不过,与佛法有所不同的是,庄子洞悉世间万有皆是无常,但并不提倡人们遁世、出世,而主张"陆沉"于世,指出如果人们意欲彻底化解痛苦,那么,其必由之路乃是顺道而行,高扬以审美的心胸对待生活、观照人生、憧憬未来,役使或驾驭外物而不被外物所役使或驾驭,让人之所为与天道协和一致,惟有如此,才能真正享受到人生的"至乐"、逍遥于天地之间。

From the view of Buddlaa dharma, everything is uncertain, which would eliminate people＇s obsession of things and then stay far away from realistic life. In the end, people would free themselves. In ancient times, there was a Chinese philosopher called Zhuangzi, who had a similar opinion about uncertainty. However, Zhuangzi did not encourage people to escape from real life and become a monk or nun. In fact, he claimed that if you want to ex- punge a miserable life completely, then you should live in the downtown area. It is necessary to go by the way it is. He believed that if people can hold aesthetic attitude to life in the present and future, without being driven by worldly possessions, then people could enjoy the happiness of their life.
