원측 敎體論의 사상적 지반

Abstract

The discourse on the nature of Buddha’s words(敎體論) is a discussion on the true nature of Buddha’s words. Woncheuk(圓測)systematically discusses the nature of Buddha’s words(敎體) in his work named Haesimmilgyeongso(『解深密經疏』). His discourse on it is worthy of notice in that it shows an interest and discussion level of Chinese Buddhism world on this topic at that times. This paper aims to confirm the philosophical basement supporting his discourse on it. For this purpose, this paper investigated how Xuánzhuāng(玄奘) and Kueichi(窺基) affected Woncheuk’s discourse on it. Woncheuk depends on Xuánzhuāng in the course of suggesting his discourse. Namely, he says by himself that his discourse takes Xuánzhuāng’s thought as its philosophical foundation. But it isn’t confirmed that Xuánzhuāng himself suggests systematically any discourses on the nature of Buddha’s words yet. Furthermore,Xuánzhuāng’s words quoted by Woncheuk isn’t directly shown in Kueichi’s works known as succeeding faithfully to the teachings of Xuánzhuāng, and it is also vague to make clear the order of Woncheuk and Kueichi. In conclusion, the source of Xuánzhuāng’s words passed down by Woncheuk isn’t confirmed yet. Therefore, it is assumed that Woncheuk’s discourse is made of common understandings that Xuánzhuāng shares with his contemporaries, and directly speaking, the ones that he synthetically arranges Xuánzhuāng’s translation. It can be also said that he depends on Xuánzhuāng in the course of invoking it.
