the purpose of understaning that Kuei-chi in PPHV
does not hold the Indian"atyantaaparinirvar.na-
dharma" (毕竟无涅盘法 ).
In CONCLUSION, I offer two keys to solve the
above problems: (1) The "atyantika" can connect with
either "agotra" or 'gotra"; the "atyantikaagatra" (
具毕竟无种姓 )and "atyantika-gotra" (具毕竟种姓 ),
The "aatyantika" in PPHV has these two meanings.(2)
The " 颠 " of "aatyantika"( 阿颠底迦 )can be
interpreted as a misprint of the " 颠 "of
"anicchnatika" (阿阐底迦 ). Aside from these two
keys, should it be suggested that "agotra" be
retrieved as the Fifth Naturs, which contains
"icchantika", "anicchantika" and "aatyantika",
claimed by Kuei-chi in his VMSVy [c-k]( 枢要 ).
THE PROBLEMS OF THE " AATYANTIKA" IN KUEI-CHI'S PPHV
(Praj~naapaaramita-hrdaya-suutra-vyakhyaana)
Kuei-chi (窥基 A.D.632-682) and his Great
Teacher Hsuen-tsang (玄奘 A.D.600-64) are the famous
founders of the Chinese Vij~naanavaada's school,
Fa-hsiang tzung) . The VMS [h]
[vij~naptimatratasiddhi, 成唯识论 ] is an important
basic text of this school, which introduced some
special theories of Vasubandhu (世亲. A.D. 320-400)
and Dharmapaala (护法 A.D. 530-561) to Chinese
Buddhist scholars as the new Chinese vij~naanavaada
1 in the Tang Dynasty, of these the doctrines of the
three vehicles and the "five distinctive natures"
(FDN, wu-chung-hsing-peih, 五种性别 )are very famous
theories.
The FDN only appears once in VMS [h] 2, but its
five names [bodhisattva( 菩萨 ),pratyeka-buddha (独
[ 缘 ] 觉 ), sraavaka (声闻 ), anityata( 不定
),agotra( 无种性 )] are introduced by Kuei-chi in
his VMSVy [s-k]3 (述记 ), vol.1. first, and next in
vol.11, he enumerates the LAS (La.nkavataara-suutra,
入楞伽经 ) vol.2, Wu-shang-I-chin (无上依经 )vol.1,
Suvikraanta- vikramipariprccha-PP( 善勇猛般若经
)vol.1., Mahaapraj~naa-paaramita-suutra( 大般若经 )
