『判批量論』 제10절 심식 논변 고찰 - 법상종 해석에 대한 비판을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This paper scrutinizes the logic and implications of Wonhyo’s critique of Vijnaptimātratāsiddhi-Śāstra’s discussion presented in section 10 of Critical Discussion of Inference, arguing that “Alaya-consciousness and manas have bases, with faculties serving as shared bases.” The section 10 introduces five syllogisms employing techniques like modifying the reason clause to generate different yet valid reasons leading to contradictory conclusions (viruddhaavyabhicārin), and illustrating the contradiction of a specific subject aspect (dharmiviśeṣaviparītasādhana) to reveal opponents’ errors. The central debate contrasts “the eighth consciousness has shared bases due to inherent characteristics in consciousness” (Argument 1) with “it lacks shared bases because they are fundamental” (Argument 2). This is followed by Wonhyo’s assertion: “the seventh and eighth consciousnesses lack faculties serving as shared bases” (Argument 3). The arguments revolve around mental factors, basis, and its faculty. To reinforce his argument, he introduces additional inferences regarding the relationship between manas, sixth consciousness and mind-mental factors (Argument 4), and the semantic paradoxes of Xuanzang lineage’s claim about manas (Argument 5). Wonhyo’s core argument, Argument 3, asserts that the faculty serving as support corresponds to the characteristics of the sixth consciousness, but it lacks subjectively apprehending character due to the absence of further supporting faculties. Alaya-consciousness also has a support but lacks a base-serving faculty to rely on. Things included in the dharmāyatana, such as mental factors, do not depend on faculty either. Similarly, the base-serving faculty has mininal pervasion within the six consciousnesses and doesn’t relate to the mental factors or the 7th and 8th consciousnesses, which have a wider range. Therefore, there is no faculties serving as shared bases in the manas and Alaya-consciousness. Likewise, Wonhyo reveals Dharma Characteristics School’s interpretation errors in a comprehensive manner, focusing on issues pertaining to the shared basis of the eighth consciousness and the faculties of the seventh and eighth consciousnesses.
