摘要
在"垮掉的一代"的信仰之路上,东方宗教思想,特别是佛教思想,占有举足轻重的地位。本文通过对凯鲁亚克的小说《达摩流浪者》的文本分析,考察凯鲁亚克对佛教思想的接受。凯鲁亚克宗教思想的来源主要是天主教、超验主义和佛教,他在这些不同的宗教或哲学思想中看到了相通之处。凯鲁亚克对佛教思想的吸收主要体现在三个方面:其一是佛教四圣谛(苦集灭道),其二是般若思想(般若"空"慧),其三是如来藏思想(众生皆有佛性)。小说《达摩流浪者》中雷.史密斯的求佛问道之路,实际上是凯鲁亚克的精神之路。"人生如梦"和"一切都是好端端的"这两个看似矛盾的命题,神奇地交汇于"空",反映了凯鲁亚克精神追求中的深刻矛盾。凯鲁亚克对东方佛教思想的接受,已然是植根于西方思想传统中的一种"拿来主义"。
Oriental religious thoughts,Buddhism in particular,played a crucial role in the spiritual pilgrimage of the Beat Generation.This paper attempts to examine Kerouac＇s reception of the Buddhist thoughts through a close reading of his novel The Dharma Bums.Kerouac derived his religious ideas from Catholicism,Transcendentalism and Buddhism,and in these various beliefs or philosophies he found something in common.His absorption of the Buddhist thoughts mainly concerns the Buddhist ideas on suffering,void,and divinity.The Buddhist pursuit of Ray Smith in the novel The Dharma Bums represents Kerouac＇s spiritual quest.The two opposite statements Ray has drawn from his preoccupation with ＂void＂,namely,＂Life is a dream＂ and ＂Everything is all right＂,expose Kerouac＇s contradictions in his pursuit of spiritual truth.In conclusion,Kerouac＇s reception of Buddhism is a kind of borrowing rooted in the Western intellectual tradition.
