论中国佛禅的诗学方向

On the Poetics Orientation of Chinese Zen

中国佛学的感受———体验的过程,是老庄的大路;其终结与原点(本性/自性),是孔孟的原型。中国佛学(禅宗)是中国儒道哲学的新产品。隋唐之后,禅性是中国人思维方式中的一根特有的敏锐"神经",既充满音响节奏,亦充满诗的色彩和光辉。"参禅"成为贤者圣人萌发智慧的契机。王维以禅入诗,拓开了"禅"与"诗"之间的通途,把禅性智慧与诗性智慧直接地融合起来,成为中国诗学的奇观。

Chinese Buddhism, though following the road set by Laotzu and Chuangtzu in its process of receptionexperience, starts from and ends at the prototype established by Confucius and Mencius in terms of nature vs. personality. Chinese Buddhism, its Zen Sect in particular, is a new product that unites Confucianism and Taoism. Since Sui and Tang Dynasties, Zen, overflowing with music rhythm and poetic color and brilliance, has always been a particularly sensitive nerve in Chinese thinking. The Zen style meditation has provided a chance for the sages to produce new wisdoms. Wang Wei brought Zen to his poems and thus found the connection between Zen and poetry, integrating Zen wisdoms into poetic wisdoms, which gives rise to a marvelous spectacle of Chinese poetics.
