불교 연기론에 의한 통일교 원죄론의 조명

Abstract

Unificationism, just like any other religion, considers original sin as a cause of pain and crime; The sinful nature derives from original sin and human beings suffer the consequences of the sin. Therefore, the redemption of all men is attainable only when people escape from original sin. It is essential to fully understand the cause of original sin. The concept of original sin in Unificationism was based on the understanding of the event involving the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in Genesis. Salvation from original sin begins with the understanding of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. According to Buddhism, a cause of bad karma and pain is established through Pratītyasamutpādā and vimutti can be obtained by dismantling the conditions which cause the PratītyasamutpādāPratītyasamutpādā is a clue to understanding the conditions for the development of original sin and the process of the liberation from original sin in Unificationism. Pratītyasamutpādā help us understand Dhrama that caused original sin and Dharma that follows from it. Understanding these, We break away from the heredity of original sin. This paper discusses original sin in Unificationism from the perspective of Pratītyasamutpādā in Buddhism.
