THE PROBLEMS OF THE "AATYANTIKA" IN KUEI(14)

分享到:

      In  this  case, the  opposite  name  of "agotra"

     means   "without-bija",  or   without-dhatu"   etc.,

     therefore  the people  live in "agotra"  means  that

     they  absolutly   can  not  become  buddhas.   These

     "agotra"'s  theories  of Indian vij~naanavaada  were

     not easily accepted  by the Chinese buddhist  during

     the  Tang  Dynasty.  It  is a well-known  fact  that

     before   Hsuen-tsang   (玄奘  ) went  to  India  for

     researching Buddhsim, there were many buddhist texts

     holding   the   theories   of   the   "ekayaana",

     " buddha-dhaatu ( or Gotra ) " (佛 性), "tathaagata-

     garbha"  (如来藏 ), "amala-vij~naana"  (阿摩罗识  ),

     such  as Mahaaparinirva.na-suutra  (大般涅盘经  )and

     saddhar-mapu.ndariika-suutra  (  妙法莲华经   )   ,

     Avata^msaka-suutra (华严经 )Ta-cheng-chi-hsin-lun  (

     大乘起信论 )etc are translated and studied by Indian

     and  Chinese  buddhist  scholars.  Therefore,  after

     Hsuen-tsang  had completed his studies in India, and

     before he returned to China, he wished to delete the

     theory  of "agotra"  from  MAS  etc., but  his Great

     Teach  'Silabhadra  ( 戒贤, A.D.529-645 ) would  not

     permit this.  This episode was mentioned by Tun-lun(

     遁伦 )in his commentary of YCBH.36

      From the above statements,I think that  not only

     Hsuen-tsang, but also Kuei-chi, the Chinese Buddhist

     Scholars, understand  that Chinese buddhists wish to

     become  the  buddhas,  and  like  to  research   the

     buddhist suutras or 'saastras which teach the people

     how to become  the Buddhas.  Therefore, Kuei-chi  in

     PPHV  has  his  special  theories  of not  noly  the

     Avalokite'svara-bodhisattva   appearing   as   the

     Mahaakaru.na-bodhisattva,  but  also   both   Eighth

     Vij~naana  and  Seventh  Vij~naana  possessing  good

     natures,  which   are  different   from   YCBh   and

     Tri^m'sika  etc.  For these reasons, I would like to

     say  that  it is a problem  for Kuei-ch  ino put the

     "atyantika"  as the Fifth Nature in PPH stead of the

     Fourth Pudgala "agotra" in YCBh.
