从70年代后期到90年代的今天,新时期文学已经走过了近20年的历程。在这一段不算太长的历史时期里,文坛“现象”迭出,流派纷呈。佛教与文学的融合似乎也可以算作现象之一。当然,如果把佛教作为一种文化来看,这一现象或可归入“寻根文学”之列;但是如果从独立的宗教角度着眼,将佛教与文学的融合作为新时期的一种文学现象,其实也算不得标新立异,何况它在内涵与外延上与寻根文学又都有着诸多的区别。佛教与文学的融合固然不似众多的流派和现象那样来得轰轰烈烈,却也不象它们的转瞬即逝,而是在悄无声息地发生后又自甘寂寞地发展着,直到今天。 From the late 1970s to the 1990s, the literature of the new period has gone through nearly 20 years. In this period of not too long period of history, literary “phenomenon” after another, various genres. The fusion of Buddhism and literature seems to be counted as one of the phenomena. Of course, if we look at Buddhism as a culture, this phenomenon may fall into the category of “root-seeking literature.” However, if we consider the integration of Buddhism and literature as a literary phenomenon in the new era from an independent religious point of view, In fact, can not be regarded as unconventional, not to mention its connotation and extension and root-seeking literature also has a lot of difference. The fusion of Buddhism and literature, though not as spectacular as many schools of thought and phenomena, is not as fleeting as theirs, but quietly and lonelyly developed until today.
