荷澤宗과 洪州宗의 상이점 연구

Abstract

Although having started from Bodhidharma Chan as a root, the Chinese Chan School became divided into numerous different branches in its later periods and each and every sect claimed its own predominance over the others. Therefore, Chan School was in utter confusion in the middle of Tang dynasty. In such situation, Zongmi, through writing of the Chart of the Master-Disciple Succession of the Chan Gate, categorized the branches of Chan School from the early stage of Tang dynasty to the middle part, accounted for the main principle or teaching of each school and commented thereon. The actual intent of his writing of the text lies in claiming that the Heze School rather than the Hongzhou School, is the orthodox school of dharma-lineage. Although the Hongzhou school has been rated low through Zongmi’s viewpoint, in this paper I will attempt to deal with both schools, placing the two on the same flat. These two schools, though having received the same dharma-lineage of Huineng and belonging to the same Dharma-nature school, show differences in various aspects. This paper is discussing there are considerable differences such as: 1) Difference in perspectives denominated by “the mind”; 2) Difference between substance-centrism and function-centrism; 3) Difference between peculiar philosophical term “Ji (知, knowledge)” of the Heze School and ‘mysterious enlightenment’ and ‘reflection in a mirror’ of the Hongzhou School; 4) Difference in the viewpoints about ‘wholesome and unwholesome’ and ‘delusion and enlightenment.’
