【摘要】：在批评家看来,汤婷婷通过《第五安乐之书》支持美国20世纪下半叶的反战和平运动。本文认为,这一作品并不是一部传递反战和平思想的政治宣言,而是通过汤婷婷本人和越战老兵的经历演绎一种源于东方的、释一行禅师所宣说的"正念"佛教哲学,旨在为那些寻求和平反战的美国人提供心理慰藉:内心的安乐无需苦苦追寻,可以通过正念来获得,即保持对当下有意识、无分别的觉知。同时,正念也为遭遇1991年奥克兰大火灾和饱受"创伤后应激障碍"(PTSD)摧残的人们疗愈心理伤痛,帮助他们找到蕴藏于人生每一步的安乐。
[Abstract]:According to critics, Kingston supported the American anti-war peace movement in the second half of the 20 th century through the book of the Fifth Anchorage.This paper holds that this work is not a political manifesto that conveys the idea of anti-war peace, but through the experience of Kingston and the Vietnam War veterans, the Buddhist philosophy of "mindfulness" proclaimed by the Buddhist master Shih Heng, originated from the East.The aim is to provide psychological comfort to Americans seeking peace and anti-war: inner happiness is not hard to pursue, but can be achieved through mindfulness, that is, to maintain a conscious, indistinguishable awareness of the present.Mindfulness also heals psychological pain for people devastated by the 1991 Oakland fire and PTSD, helping them find comfort in every step of their lives.
