汲井漱寒齒，清心拂塵服《晨詣超師院讀禪經》柳宗元

《晨詣超師院讀禪經》

【原文】

汲井漱寒齒，清心拂塵服。

閒持貝葉書，步出東齋讀。

真源了無取，妄跡世所逐。

遺言冀可冥，繕性何由熟。

道人庭宇靜，苔色連深竹。

日出霧露餘，青松如膏沐。

澹然離言說，悟悅心自足。

《晨詣超師院讀禪經》註釋

註釋:

２、冥：暗合；

３、繕：修持。

４、膏沐：本指潤發的油脂。

５、澹然：寧靜狀。

【簡析】：

寫出晨讀禪經的情景和感受，曲折地表達了埋藏在心底的抑鬱之情，如同蘇軾所說：「寄至味於澹泊。? 這是一首抒寫感想的抒情詩。詩的內容是抒發了詩人的哲學見解。前半部寫他到

禪院讀經，指責世人追逐的乃是那些荒誕的事情，而不去瞭解佛經的真正含義。後半

部寫他認為佛家的精義與儒家之道有相通之處，但如何修養本性，卻難以精熟。然

而，他對禪院的清靜幽雅卻流連玩賞。

? READING BUDDHIST CLASSICS WITH ZHAO

AT HIS TEMPLE IN THE EARLY MORNING

I clean my teeth in water drawn from a cold well;

And while I brush my clothes, I purify my mind;

Then, slowly turning pages in the Tree-Leaf Book,

I recite, along the path to the eastern shelter.

...The world has forgotten the true fountain of this teaching

And people enslave themselves to miracles and fables.

Under the given words I want the essential meaning,

I look for the simplest way to sow and reap my nature.

Here in the quiet of the priest's templecourtyard,

Mosses add their climbing colour to the thick bamboo;

And now comes the sun, out of mist and fog,

And pines that seem to be new-bathed;

And everything is gone from me, speech goes, and reading,

Leaving the single unison.
