在觉悟中成就的艺术——永觉法师觉照艺术的实证 / 四六文摘

▲朴成虎给永觉法师造像

有人说艺术是指尖上的灵感，这句话听起来似乎合乎道理，但仔细推敲，却并不符合逻辑。艺术的灵感，一定要在逻辑性哲理上展示艺术家思维的迹象，它不是单一的图像表现。从更深层次讲，在某种要求上说，不但要符合艺术家思维逻辑，更重要地是要符合艺术家对自然物象所觉悟和理解。随便画一张图画就认为是艺术作品，那么儿童画也能算作艺术作品了？

鉴于此，永觉法师曾说：“艺术之根在于追寻生命的意义”。其实，艺术是来源于心灵深处，把在觉悟中所察悟到的思想自由和意念快乐，以哲理性地思维体系，借助油彩颜料展示的自然美感。艺术是根植于生命里的，是融入到思维中的，长期浸泡于禅韵之内，允汲着佛法实证的乳汁，渗浸在艺术灵魂的高地。一切美地觉知，都是永觉法师内心流露出来的，契合宇宙自然之美和心灵觉照之性。

所有艺术属性，一定是以觉悟的途径才能观照到永恒的原始真性。一幅艺术作品不能反映出艺术家的内心世界，或者说是思维见谛，失掉的不仅是艺术家根本性的称呼，而更是对艺术理解的层次。永觉法师早已在禅悟里明了艺术归属于自然属性的觉知，照见了艺术真性的本质，体悟自然心性存在的意义。在他的笔下流出地是甘露，是琼浆，是玉液，更是觉知的永恒。

永觉法师在实修上觉照出的是“美既源于自然，更源于内心，源于宇宙”。从他的作品上看，他的觉照还源自于真性本体，也源自佛法真融，更源自于心灵真谛。因为，永觉法师在觉照内心世界的同时，他还不断深入到更幻化的生命底层，用艺术之性挖掘出属于他自己“自然艺术禅”的释义。

每一个艺术家的信仰，不仅在艺术上，而且也是在哲学上、思想上、觉知上，并且也会在文学上、思维上、宗教上去觉照领悟艺术的根本与意义。为此，永觉法师对这些完全具备，拥有着最优势的艺术创作阵地。看永觉法师的艺术作品，自然而然就感悟出他觉修实证的观照本能，完全融入进了他的艺术境界里了。

信仰的世界里，实证是检验一个修行者最基本的条件，艺术在信仰中是验证修行的方法，又是展现修行的成果。永觉法师在信仰层面验证的是艺术属性，在艺术世界里展示的是修行觉悟的灵性，所有的关联诠释了艺术是在觉悟中所成就的。实修的次第借助艺术而显现的。为此，真正的修行者，肩负艺术家头衔的同时，他的艺术涵养和艺术水平，必须把实修与艺术有效地结合在一起，并且走出艺术殿堂和禅修道场。永觉法师已经做到了，而且更完善地展示了，他把自然禅意所觉悟的意象艺术，用生命体现了实修的根本，证实着宇宙与自然、人与自然和人与宇宙的各种关系，于心灵深处传播人性原始之本。

艺术灵感的来源既触觉了实修觉悟的本体，成就了艺术灵魂的再现，其实是在延续着艺术家或是禅修者的思想及智慧。艺术作品在其内容上也一定是记录了体悟佛性的过程，体悟禅性的方式，体悟人性的法则，是三者在现实意义上的融入与永恒。艺术作品的美，在本质上，阐释地就是艺术家内心世界的真、善、美。艺术家心里的诗和远方，着重点不是艺术作品本身，更多地是通过实证，观照自身修行的状态。实修者的艺术作品，表现出的是“无我、无物、无形、无垠”的辽阔世界。

在实证中觉照艺术展现，以及突破常规思想的限制，是很多艺术家或禅修者都无法做到的。永觉法师在实修中做到了，而且用实修把艺术经过禅修，观照出了艺术的真性，并把抽象艺术与具象艺术，通过灵悟，让实像和虚像融为一体，重新组成艺术派系，也就是意象艺术的成熟。在永觉法师没有通过禅修观照的灵明时，很多自称意象艺术家的作品，其实是不堪入目的。

艺术家如果想更成熟地表现自己的艺术成就，一定要有实修的基本功夫；实修者如果想通过艺术展现自己的修行层次，就必须用艺术的成熟观照自己内心世界的真性。艺术是觉性的本体，实修是观照的对象，只有本性与对象明了，艺术才能在实修中成熟

“我之绘画是为了通过艺术这一形式，去追寻自我存在于宇宙世界的意义。当人类因科学发明的日新月异感叹、骄傲时，殊不知其实质是将人类带上了走向毁灭的快车道。此时只有回归自然，回归人之本源才是唯一出路。也正是人类存在的意义所在。我之艺术是为了通过绘画形式，通过追求美的历程把社会属性的心回归到自然属性的心，去体悟宇宙之精神。体悟神性、佛性的存在；而与之交融，合为一体；体悟存在的意义和道的永恒。我之艺术是探索美的根本，使宇宙、自然之原始的美能在人类视觉中呈显；人是宇宙、自然的部分，人心即宇宙心、自然心。放弃所有思想，抛开一切观念，打开心门，让宇宙之光芒照耀心田。 My art wants to pursue my meaning in universe through painting. When human are amazed by and proud of rapid changes brought by scientific invention, they fail to aware that it brings human to the fast lane of ruin. At such a time, returning to nature and the human origin is the only way out, which is also the meaning for human existence. My art wants to return the heart with social property to the heart with natural property, feel the universe spirits through pursuing beauty by painting. My art wants to feel the existence of divinity and Buddhata, integrate with them, and feel the meaning of existence and the eternity of Taoism. My art wants to explore the nature of beauty through painting, and make the original beauty of universe and nature present in the vision of human. Human is just a part of universe and nature, human heart is the heart of universe and the heart of nature. My art abandons all thoughts and all concepts, but open the heart and let the light of universe brighten the heart.

我之艺术，没有思想，没有形式。作画时看不到色彩，摸不着画布，是自心觉性而舞。我之作品不是绘画，是我在宇宙中呼吸时留下的气息。” （朱神光自述）

My art has no thoughts, no form. When I create, I see no color, and touch no canvas, but just my heart dances. My works are not paintings, but just the smell I left when I breathe in the universe. (ZhuShenguang’s self narration).
