초기불전에 나타난 無礙 정신의 기원과 그 의미

Abstract

The research begins to pose some problems on the existing approaches to the implication of ‘Wonyungmooy[圓融無礙]’ in the perspective of Mahāyāna Buddhism. The aim of the research is primarily to illuminate how the meanings of ‘Wonyungmooye’ would be understood through the light proof. That is to say, the research aims to understand the origin of ‘Wonyungmooye’ thought, one of the important axises in Eastern Asia Buddhism from the early Buddhist canons. It would not easy to illuminate the meaning of 'Mooye', being without obstacles, from Wonyungmooye on the base of early Buddhist canons. It is difficult to connect the terms with those of the languages of Pāli and Sanskrit. Therefore, it is possible to suggest both the meanings of the concept, comparing and contrasting the contents of Pāli Nikāya and Chinese Agamas in order to find out the original initiation. First, it is the meaning of ‘Mooye’ as the process of practice without obstacles or resists. It is possible to recognize the currency of ‘Mooye’ and to emphasize the practice of 'eight fold noble path'. Second, it is nearly the meaning of mokṣa. In the concept 'Mooye' has almost similar meaning of it. It is emphasized as the meaning of practice of meditation. As the emerge of Mooyejung[無礙定] it would indicate that the whole process of meditation can be practiced without any obstacle, which means to suggest the being of Mokṣa.
