탐진치 관점에서 보는 불교의 성격발달

Abstract

This paper seeks to clarify two things. First, the Buddhist personality type can be seen as the composition ratio of Craving, Hatred, and Ignorance. Personality deals with all five aggregates, so body, cognition, emotion, motivation, or behavior become components of personality. Depending on the ratio of Craving, Hatred, and Ignorance, the ratio of personality components such as body, cognition, emotion, motivation, or behavior changes. Craving can be seen as three things: craving of the sense organs, craving related to self, and craving related to mine. Hatred can be seen as two axes from fury to fear and from joy to sadness. In terms of attitude of thinking, Ignorance is divided into substance-centered thinking styles such as substantive thinking, dichotomous thinking, and proliferative thinking, and adherence-centered thinking styles such as ought thinking, self-centered thinking, cynical thinking, and nihilistic thinking. Broadly speaking, there can be personality types such as Craving-centered, Hatred-centered, and Ignorance-centered, and in detail, there are 18 personality types. Second, the Buddhist personality development can be seen in relation to the weakening and disappearance of Craving, Hatred, and Ignorance. Buddhist personality development is characterized as multi-layered, complex, non-linear, conditional, and singular pointed. Person in personality refers to an ordinary person, and personality can be said to be the totality of the functions of an ordinary person. If the personality of an ordinary person is a typified pattern of Craving, Hatred, and Ignorance, the personality of a saint is a form of eliminating this typified pattern of Craving, Hatred, and Ignorance or becoming free from this typified pattern. On the other hand, the personality of ordinary people is defined as ‘a dynamic, complex, and internal function that forms human functions represented by cognition, emotion, and behavior into a consistent and uniquely patterned and organized form under the influence of the human body, mind, and environment’, the personality of a saint can be said to be ‘functioning well overall in relation to Buddhist goals under the influence of the human body, mind, and environment."
