加里·斯奈德诗歌中的禅宗意识

Consciousness of Zen in the Poetry of Gary Snyder

美国后现代性思潮受到了禅宗特别是"离两边"思维与"空无"理念的重要启发。兴起于1950年代的美国后现代主义诗歌普遍沾染了强烈的禅宗意识。加里·斯奈德是这一派诗人最为重要的代表之一。作为禅宗"平常心是道"的具体体现,斯奈德诗歌大多来源于日常生活,体现出一种身心合一的生活态度。其次,斯奈德诗歌少有自我主体意识,缺少西方传统诗歌中的内在理性逻辑,结构松散,这种"无我"之空性意识使得万事万物在斯奈德诗歌中自然呈现。

American postmodernism has been influenced by Zen,especially aspired the idea of'be away from two sides'or'emptiness'.The American postmodernism poetry which arose in the 1950s was strongly infected with the consciousness of Zen.Gary Snyder was one of the most important poets of this school.As an embodiment of the Zen principle'ordinary mind is morality',most of Snyder’s poems come from the daily life,and are an expression of life attitude of unity of mind with body.Additionally,Snyder’s poems,with slack structure,are short of the consciousness of self subject,and lack the intrinsic rational logic.This empty consciousness'self-voidance'leads to the natural presentation of things in Snyder’s poetry.
