three-types of (1) "icchantiaka" (2) "anicchantika"
and (3) "aatyantika", which are considered to be the
new theories of Kuei-chi.
For these reasons, Kuei-chi explains that the
"icchantika" means the one who desires the
"sa^msaara" (生死轮回 ). This explanation is the
same as that the Fu-sin-lung (佛性论, TTP 31, p.797c
)said; and the "an-icchantika" means the one who
undesires the nirvaa.na. From this meanings,these
two, the "icchantika" and the "anicchantika" are
common to the other two: the one who has "breaking
good roots", and the "mahaakaru.na-bodhisattva". In
other words Kuei-chi selects the two "icchantikas"
from LAS for his first two " icchantika " and
"anicchantika", and he finally selects the
"atyantaapari nirvaa.na-dharma" from the MSA for his
third one, the " aatyantika " which means that the
one who is absolutely without getting nirvaa.na.
And Kuei-chi in his conclusion says that the one
who is without the [buddha]gotra, the "agotra", can
also named the first two names, the "icchantika" and
the "an-icchantika", who will attian the enlightment
in a long time; but the last one, the "aatyantika"
can not attain the enlightment. From this statement,
we understant that Kuei-chi claims that the
"agotra", the Fifth Nature, has three tipes of
"icchantika", "anicchantika" and "aatyantika". But
in the same text, he claims that the "icchantika"
has three kind types of (1) :breaking good roots",
(2) "mahaakaruna", (3) "agotra", which tells us that
the "agotra" becomes one of the "icchantika" and
named "agotrecchantika" (无性阐提 ), in which the
cause and result are in-complete in becoming a
buddha.11
Anyway, Kuei-chi selects the theories of LAS and
MSA and accepts that the Fifth Nature is "agotra"
or "icchantika", but he coins the new theories
for claiming that both of "agotra" and "icchantika"
separately have their own three types as meantioned
before, the first two types of them will finally
attain the
nirvaa.nas, but the only last types of the
