人生／人身難得——次仁羅布小說的時空意識與身體象

Spatial Temporal Awareness and Body Images Within the Novel by Ci Ren Luo Bu

一九九二年，次仁羅布發表了第一篇小說〈羅孜的船夫〉，這篇小說的題材與結構相當明確簡單，卻彰顯了一個二元對立的時空結構與文化情境。此外，次仁羅布的小說深受佛教基本教義的影響，顯現了一種世俗的肉身與靈魂的二元觀。在此觀念中，心識或靈魂的掌握與修持才是最為重要的，肉身不過是暫居的臭皮囊。無論美儀與陋相，都是身體成住壞空的一個暫定的階段。全文按照上述的兩個問題依次展開，第一部分先以文本分析的方式解讀〈羅孜的船夫〉，確立此篇小說當中的時間與空間的二元對立結構，再援引其它小說內容作為佐證與論述依據。第二部分則討論身體書寫的相關篇章片段，並從佛教基本教義中的身體觀協助讀者理解身心二元對立下的身體形象。

In 1992, Ci Ren Luo Bu published his first novel, The Boatman of Luo Zi. With a relatively clear and simple theme and composition, the novel presents a space-time structure with a clear binary opposition along with an opposing cultural context. Furthermore, Ci Ren Luo Bu’s novel was deeply influenced by the basic teachings of Buddhism, revealing a type of dualism between the secular body and soul. With this concept, the understanding and cultivation of the heart or soul is the most important, while the physical body is but a temporaryhusk. Regardless of beauty or ugliness, the body is just a temporary stage in the cycle of formation, existence, destruction, and emptiness. This thesis expands upon the two problems described above. The first section utilizes a textual analysis to interpret The Boatman of Luo Zi, establishing a binary structure of opposition between time and space in the novel. The author draws evidence from other novels to support his thesis. The second part is a discussion of articles related to body writing. Through the lens of Buddhism, the author guides readers to comprehend the concept of the body within the context of a binary structure of opposition between time and space.
