梅原猛，生于1925年，京都大学文学部哲学科毕业。立命馆大学教授，京都市立艺术大学教授。曾任国际日本文化研究中心代所长，现为京都市立艺术大学名誉教授、国际日本文化研究中心顾问。1972年获每日出版文化奖，1974年获第一届大仏次郎奖，1992年获文化功劳者表彰。主要著作有《地狱的思想日本精神的一系谱》、《隐藏的十字架法隆寺论》、《水底的歌柿本人论》等。 关于闲暇应该怎么看？用哲学的考察来回答这个问题，是报社交给我的一个课题。闲暇问题将逐渐变成我们社会的重要问题，这是因为随着科学技术的发展，生产力的提高，人们劳动时间的缩短，不管是资本主义国家还是社会主义国家，都正在采用科学技术，这是现代文明所追寻的必然方向。不用说这是一件大好事，因为对人类来说，没有什么比让自己从衣食之忧中解放出来，拥有自由的时间更为理想的了。 从前，自由时间对人类来说堪称奢侈之物，除此之外它什么也不是。这是因为，当人类的大多数为了维持生存而不得不从事劳动时，那些无须从事这样劳动的人便因此而背负了罪名。因此，从事自由的精神工作的宗教家，只能自我断绝了对物质的欲望与性欲。也就是说，他们为了自由的精神生活而付出了禁欲的代价。在这里，闲暇完全是少数佼佼者才可能被允许的特权。我认为，人类原本一直生存在这种以劳动为中心的价值观中，尤其是这样的价值观为近代西方文明所强力推崇，而日本人则是在明治维新之后，才彻底拥有这样的价值观。在德川时代，对既劳动也玩乐的价值观，也曾有过予以肯定评价的观点。 但自从明治维新之后，当日本在下决心是否采用西方文明时，日本人就完全树立了以劳动为唯一价值的一元价值观。这是因为，日本人判断日本或者东方文明无论如何比不上欧洲文明，他们还洞察到，欧洲文明在拥有更强大的军事力量的同时，还拥有更高的生产力。在这里，日本人的洞察是不错的，欧洲的科学文明，是一种通过技术提高生产力，并将其作为文明原理的文明。 日本在欧洲诸国的军事压力下，感到自己到底无法与之匹敌，对欧洲的科学技术文明所产生的巨大生产力感到无比震惊。引进欧洲文明，建设强大富裕的国家，这就是过去百年间日本的目标。将自己全力倾注于这一目标的日本，从而成为一个比欧洲更加欧洲化的、创造了技术文明的国家，成为一个比欧洲诸国更加推崇技术文明价值的国家。在欧洲，科学技术文明存在于与传统的精神文明，特

《日语》第五册 课文翻译 第一课失明的高僧 公元8世纪中叶。 首都奈良，这里每天热闹非凡。东大寺这座大寺院修建的大佛终于完工。离庆祝大佛竣工的仪式——大佛开光的日子越来越近了。 但是，庆典将至，圣武天皇正期待着一个人的到来。 “但愿他能赶上这次庆典！” 这个人，圣武天皇几年前就一直翘首期盼他的到来。但是，不知什么原因，派去迎接她的是这几年来都杳无音讯。 “他到底会不会来？能来的话，一定要赶上这个盛大的日子啊！” 圣武天皇心里总惦记着这件事。到底是谁让天皇等得如此心焦呢？ 故事还得从十年前说起。 那时候，中国有很多僧人东渡日本。同样，日本每年也有一些留学僧飘洋过海到中国去。 “我希望你们能从中国带回一位高僧。” 有一年，圣武天皇委以两名留学僧这样的重托。因为当时的日本还没有一个够资格为众僧授戒的高僧，天皇希望能从中国请到一位这样的人。 所谓戒，就是在佛教中僧人必须遵守的戒律，修行的僧人，有一些事情是禁止做的。如果不严格遵守戒律，就不能成为一名合格的僧人。能够遵守这些戒律的僧人才可以受戒。 佛教在日本很盛行。有很多僧人已经具备受戒的条件，但是有资格给他们授戒的高僧却一个也没有。 来到中国的两位日本僧人，听说唐朝的扬州有一位名叫鉴真的高僧。要是能请到这位高僧就好了，带着这样的想法，他们跋山涉水、不顾路途遥远前去拜访鉴真，言辞恳切地请求鉴真去日本。 鉴真从孩提时就诚心信佛，18岁时，已经成为一名优秀的僧人。他看到这两位僧人不远万里，专程从隔海相望的日本前来邀请自己，被这份热诚深深打动，于是，决定东渡日本，前往那个遥远而陌生的国度。 当时鉴真已经50多岁。因为他要去日本，所以几个弟子也要陪同前往。他们马上动手做准备，第二年便扬帆起航，东渡日本。 但是，这次航行并非一帆风顺。他们的船好不容易扬帆起航，不料途中遇上了狂风巨浪，幸好获救，才得以死里逃生！可刚一回到岸上，他们马上又开始张罗船只，为下一次出航做准备。 很快，一切准备就绪，他们再次出航，不料这次却又遭遇海盗打劫，被掳去很多重要物品，无奈之下只好无功而返。麻烦还不止这些，妒忌鉴真东渡的人也开始百般阻挠。 由于接二连三的失败，一些人失去了东渡日本的信心，他们认为不应该继续这种无意义的旅行。同时因为困难太多，东渡日本的一行人内部也开始出现分裂、争吵，还出现了一些只顾个人利益的人。 即使是在这种时候，坚贞也毫不退缩，他默默承受着一切，不管任何时候脸上都带着微笑。只要看到他的微笑，大家的内心就会受到激励，重新鼓起继续东渡的勇气。 东渡日本屡遭挫折。 真可谓“祸不单行”。不久，从日本前来迎接鉴真的两位僧人中有一位因身染重病不治，最终死在旅途中。正当鉴真为失去这样一位重要人物悲痛不已的时候，像是要追随日本僧人似的，鉴真的大弟子也随之离开了人世。 两位得意弟子的去世，对鉴真无疑是一个沉痛的打击。由于年事已高，加上长期奔波劳
