    东瀛散记——序

    2004-5-11记

     

        中国古代有个传说,浮现在渤海上的蓬莱山,是长生不老的仙境。我觉得,古人与其说向往浮现在渤海上的中国岛屿,不如说是憧憬浮现在更遥远的东海上的日本。隋唐时代,日本与中国之间开始交流,但是那时候人们还是认为日本在很遥远的海上,千里迢迢越过海洋抵达日本的中国人要晋京须通过濑户内海。看到那风景,蓬莱岛的形象大概会清晰的浮现在他们的脑海里。


         唐代的鉴真和尚在距今1200多年前,应新兴佛教国家日本的邀请,经历了无法想象的千辛万苦,终于来到了日本。据说,行程用了近12年的时间,不消说,他的到来,给这个国家传来了正统的佛法,其意义是重大的。但是,另一方面从森本长老的谈话中也可一窥见另一曾意义,那就是他推测鉴真也有这种心情,即要到传闻风光美丽的日本饱览一番。


         遗憾的是,鉴真和尚到达日本时,双目已经失明,看不到日本的风景了……
         我没有想到过自己到的祖国以外的第一个国家竟然是日本,如果抛开近代历史和政治因素,怀着当年鉴真和尚那样的期待踏上这个新兴却又处处残留着佛教与礼教的国家,看着樱花雨点般的飘零在这片干净的土地上、人们甜美的笑容边时,会觉得日本的确是一个美丽而古老的国度。


         我只想以我所能理解的脑海中的一幅幅场景,来用语言描绘这个国度和它的国民。


         “既然人类的心灵是可以彼此相通的,那么我的风景就可以成为我们的风景。”我想就用东山魁夷的这句话来结束这篇序言吧。
