摘　　要：《西游记》并非只是一部消遣娱乐的小说,或者以理学为核心的文学作品,其谋篇布局和叙述技巧都体现了大乘佛教救赎论的思想内核。《西游记》将佛法巧妙地融入小说中,是对传统宗教文本的延伸与发展,同时它还运用独具匠心的文学技巧解决了佛教教义和宗教实践中的主要问题———大乘佛教世界观下本体论上的连续性与认识论上的不连续性之间的矛盾,这些都意味着可以从佛教文学的角度重新审视这部著作。《西游记》成功地以救赎论为核心形成了文本和吸引了读者,实际上就是证明了,文学文本本身就是无上佛法的具象化,也就是佛教意义上的“方便法门”。The Journey to the West is not only a novel for entertainment,or a Neo-Confucian work.The structure and literary techniques of the Journey to the West embody its doctrinal content of Mahayana soteriolo⁃gy.The skillful embodiment of Buddhist ideals in the novel extends the records of the previous texts.At the same time,it also solves the central problematic of the Buddhist doctrines and religious practices with literary techniques,that is,the ontological continuity conflated with epistemological discontinuity in Mahayana cos⁃mos.It means that we can see the Journey to the west as a Buddhist religious text in which content and form in⁃termesh on a new level.The Journey to the west successfully form the text and captivate the readers with the Buddhist soteriology,which means that the text itself is a concrete embodiment of the supreme Buddhist virtue of skillful-means.
