善财童子是《华严经》所塑造的一个人物,他出身优渥,但是后来经过文殊菩萨的引导,经过五十三参,历尽千辛万苦,最后成佛。方东美在他讲授"华严宗哲学"时,多次提到善财童子,多次提到善财童子五十三参的修行道路。分析方东美对善财童子五十三参修行路径的描述,我们感受到了善财童子五十三参的意象具有崇高、壮美、和谐的美学意蕴。

Shan-cai-tong-zi(Sudhana) is one character in Hua-yan-jing(Avatamsaka Sutra) from a well-to-do family who eventually becomes a Buddha with Bodhisattva Manjusri's instructions after many hardships with 53 visits to acquire different knowledge. Thome H. Fang mentioned him many times when he lectured on Hua-yan-jing,especially about his 53 visits. By analyzing his 53 visits,we can get the aesthetic implications,such as sublimity,magnificence and harmony.
