임제선의 주체화와 탈주체화 – 『능엄경』과의 관련성을 중심으로

Abstract

Linji-Chan can be understood twofold. One is the direction of Subjectivization and the other is the direction of Desubjectivization out of the subject. Linji-Chan understands that within these two directions the subject is composed and dismantled at the same time. In general, in the understanding of Linji-Chan, the subject was emphasized, but the process of dismantling the subject was barely noticed. LengYangJing's logic works in the process of subjectification and desubjectivization. In the process of subjectivization, the 'brightness' of the mind, which produces other concepts or object-oriented perceptions without being objectified, and the 'shadow', which is the corresponding perception, correspond to two fundamentals in the Alumnis. They are brightness of Mind and object-oriented mind. In the process of desubjectivization, Linji reduces the six sensory organs to identify the original place of liberation, suggesting the disappearance of one brightness(一精明), one-mind(一心). This was presented through the parable of the magician who manipulates the puppet in LengYangJing. Six sensory organs can be freed from manipulation by cutting off one's original brightness. This is the description of LengYangJing. This is the theoretical basis of yuantong of six organs(六根圓通). This aspect has not been noticed in Linji-Chan's ideas. This paper suggests that yuantong's methodology, which is a device prepared for the dissolution and reconstruction of empirical consciousness in LengYangJing, is applied to Linji-Chan's subjectifying and de-subjectifying process.
