内容简介《印度的智慧》内容为:这是一部林语堂精心编撰的印度文化手册。 印度文学里展现出来的东西,可以让人们一窥这个国家的思想和社会思潮,三千年来,这些内容一直在激活和塑造着这个民族。只有看到印度思想的丰富性及其本质精神,我们才能理解印度,才能奢望分享其各民族的自由和平等,而这些正是我们试图从这个道德和政治上都混乱不堪的世界创造出来的东西,尽管显得有些蹩脚和踌躇。

序言One morning in 19o5, or the 3tth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu ofQing Dynasty, two brothers set out by boat from their hometown Boa-ah, amountain hamlet in Fujian Province on the southern coast of China, for theport city of Xiamen, some sixty miles away. The boys were full of excitementand chatter, especially the younger one. Yutang was ten years old, and today, hewas taking leave of his hometown and going with his brother to study in Xiamen.They were sons of Pastor Lin Zhicheng, who was born in the poor village ofWulisha. Pastor Lin was sending his sons to free missionary schools in Xiamen.
The Pastor was not a follower of convention, so the boys did not wearqueues. Yutang was a little guy, deeply tanned, with a prominent forehead, apair of sparkling eyes, and a narrow chin. Six miles later, when the skiff cameto Xiaoxi, the boys changed to a five-sail junk, and sailed toward Zhangzhouon West River. There were paddy fields and farmhouses on either side ofthe river, and tall mountains stood behind them, clad in grey-purplishhues. Yutang thought it inexpressibly beautiful. After a day's journey, the junkwas tied up against the bank under some bamboo trees. Yutang was told to liedown, cover himself with a blanket and go to sleep.
But sleep was the last thing on the boy's mind. The boatman sitting at the junk's stern was sucking at his pipe, and between gulps of bitter tea, telling stories about the Empress Dowager Cixi, who ruled the court today, having put the Emperor Guangxu under house arrest for supporting the reformers at the palace. Another junk was tied up on the opposite bank, brightly lit by lanterns. A soft breeze wafted sounds of merrymaking and music from a lute across the water. Oh, what a beautiful scene!
文摘II The Counsel of Agastya
"Pleased am I," so spake Agastya, "in these forests dark and wild,Thou hast come to seek me, Rama, with the saintlyJanak's child,But like pale and drooping blossoms severed from the parent tree,Far from home in toil and trouble, faithful Sita follows thee,True to wedded lord and husband she hath followed Raghu's son,With a woman's deep devotion woman's duty she hath done!How unlike the fickle woman, true while Fame and Fortune smile,Faithless when misfortunes gather, loveless in her wicked wile,How unlike the changeful woman, false as light the lightnings fling,Keen as sabre, quick as tempest, swift as bird upon its wing!Dead to Fortune's frown or favour, Sita still in truth abides,As the star of Arundhati in her mansion still resides,Rest thee with thy gentle consort, farther still she may not roam,Holier were this hermit's forest as the saintly Sita's home!""Great Agastya!" answered Rama, "blessed is my banished life,For thy kindness to an exile and his friendless homeless wife,But in wilder, gloomier forests lonesome we must wander still,Where a deeper, darker shadow settles on the rock and rill.""Be it so," Agastya answered, "two short yojans from this place,Wild is Panchavati's forest where unseen the wild deer race,Godavari's limped waters through its gloomy gorges flow,Fruit and root and luscious berries on its silent margin grow,Seek that spot and with thy brother build a lonesome leafy home,Tend thy true and toil-worn Sita, farther stdl she may not roam!Not unknown to me the mandate by thy royal father given,Not unseen thy endless wanderings destined by the will of Heaven,Therefore Panchavati's forest marked I for thy woodland stay,Where the ripening wild fruit clusters and the wild bird trills his lay,Tend thy dear devoted Sita and protect each pious rite.
