『승만경』 일승장에 대한 원효의 해설

Abstract

This article analyzes the characteristics of the Wonhyo(元曉)’s commentary on the Śrīmālā-Sūtra. Among 15 chapters, the format and contents were reviewed based on the 5th One Vehicle(一乘). The basic materials for this study are extracts of quotations from the Gyōnen(凝然)’s Shōmangyō-sho-Syōgenki(『勝鬘経疏詳玄記』), which was edited by KIM, Sang-hyun(김상현) in 1993 and Fukushi J.(福士慈稔) in 2013, are the critical editions. Prior to the discussion, I compared the two editions with the three aspects, namely the content itself is omitted, adding or deleting of contents, and changing the paragraph system. From a formal point of view, Wonhyo’s commentary largely follows the tradition of East Asia’s commentators. In the case of interpretation of words, Because he explains the dictionary meaning of a word, and then it is connected with the phrase that contains the word and interprets the enlarged meaning in a spiritual interpretation in accordance with the original purpose of the text. In the aspect of contents, I first analyzed Wonhyo’s commentary on the embrace of the illustrious doctrine, and then focused on the following two points. One is that the six basic topics are reconstituted by the Mahāyāna. and the other annotates what is called ‘Nirvāṇa’ is a means belonging to the Tathāgatas.
