세친 정토론의 정토사상과 유식불교의 상관성 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to focus on looking into Vasubandhu's thought of pure land[唯心淨土] of Yogācāra, which can be compared with traditional theory of pure land. His thought of pure land is trying to seek after pure land in one mind, not in other place, allowing us to make a new interpretation of the joining of Buddhism of pure land and Yogācāra. As a first attempt, making an observation of Vasubandhu's basis of realization and principles of formation on the pure land of Buddha, Sukhāvatīvyūha-sūtra places a great deal of weight on the purity of cause of praṇidhāna of Dhamākara(法藏) bodhisattva, while Vasubandhu mainly focuses on the purity of effect of pure land. In this regard, it is evident that he is on the side of Yogācāra. There is another proof of his point of view in the theory of pure land, consisting of 29 kinds of magnificence of pure land. He has especially suggested 29 kinds of magnificence of pure land and interpreted them as tathātā, and so forth. He has also considered pure land as a realm where all mankind can be saved from delusion and hardships. When it comes to the notion that the pure land is supposed to save ankind contaminated with delusion, the fulfillment of the magnificence of pure land means the completion of a religious truth of bodhisattva. Therefore, it is summarized that 29 kinds of magnificence of pure land be materialized in four knowledge such as the completion of a religious truth of bodhisattva and the enlightenment of mahāyāna as the attainment of ten bhumi. On the basis of this, we can look into the interrelation between four knowledge by Yogācāra and 29 kinds of theory of pure land. As a result, mahā-ādarśajñāna can be compared with 17 kinds of magnificence of pure land. 17 kinds of magnificence are the realization of mahā-ādarśajñāna as Buddha's knowledge. Next, 8 kinds of magnificence can be compared with samata-jñāna. Lastly, 4 kinds of magnificence of bodhisattva can be compared with pratyavekṣāna-jñāna and kṛtyānuṣṭhāna-jñāna consecutively. Mahāyāna bodhisattva is eager to carry out Buddha's teachings, while 4 kinds of magnificence of bodhisattva show the real aspect of right ascetic practices of Buddha. In conclusion of comparing four knowledge with the land of Buddha, the Buddha, and 29 kinds of magnificence of bodhisattva, it is clearly understood that Vasubandhu's magnificence of pure land shows the contents of pure land of Yogācāra, the completion of a religious truth of bodhisattva and the attainment of enlightenment.
