Abstract

Bodhisattva is practises who are under a vow to be relieve all sentient beings in Mahāyānist Buddhism. Bodhisattva want to relives all sentient beings in the World of life and death. Prajñā and Maitrī-karuṇā equivalent to two wings. This Paper's aim is to see on developing aspects on conception of Maitrī-karuṇā in Mahāyānist Buddhism Scriptures. When we analyses the meaning of a word on Maitrī-karuṇā. Maitrī is a happy which brings to all sentient beings and karuṇā is to get rid of unhappy for all sentient beings. When we say Mahā-maitrī-karuṇā or Mahā-karuṇā, it is a maitrī-karuṇā of the Bodhisattva and Buddha. Particularly a buddha's maitrī-karuṇā is to be called mahā-karuṇā of one body(同體大悲) or an open mahā-karuṇā(無蓋大悲). Bodhksattva's spirit is to realizes an unselfish actions. An unselfish actions is based on the maitrī-karuṇā. A maitrī-karuṇā is Buddha's essence, mahā-maitrī is to remove an uselessness, Mahā-karuṇā is to give immeasurable benefits and happiness. Then why do we practise four immeasurable spirits(四無量心)? It is to remove wrong thoughts and inequal feelings. It is difference between Buddha's mahā-maitrī-karuṇā and maitrī-karuṇā of an three saints of tri-yāna. A maitrī-karuṇā of an three saints of tri-yāna is small maitrī-karuṇā. It can not get rid of suppers, only take pity on all sentient beings. But Buddha's maitrī-karuṇā pray with all my heart for to get happiness, practically to give happiness, and can get rid of suppers. It emphasis maitrī-karuṇā of without the object among three maitrī-karuṇā in Mahāyānist Buddhism Scriptures. Ultimately it saw to equal to all beings. Because it acknowledge which all beings is śūnyatā, by well versed real aspects it calls without object maitrī-karuṇā(無緣大悲).
