Vivekacūḍāmaṇi에 나타난 빤짜꼬샤(pañca kośa)의 이해

Abstract

This paper is an attempt in order to the Advaita Vedānta and Sāṃkhya-yoga philosophical understanding of Pañca kośas. This literature is an important teaching to search for the freedom(mokṣa). Five sheaths is different to Self. these is the goal that we get to discriminate Self from ego. The five sheaths consist of an anna maya kośa, prāṇa maya kośa, a manomaya kośa, a vijñānamaya kośa, and an ānanda maya kośa. Therefore, the five sheaths of the Self are not true Self. An anna maya kośa is the grossest body(sthūla śārīra, 粗大體) among five sheaths. The prāṇamaya kośa’, ‘manomaya kośa’, and ‘vijñānamaya kośa’ are the subtle body more than the annamaya kośa. The ‘ānandamaya kośa’ is not only causal body(karaṇa śārīra, 原因體) but also the subtle body more than the anterior four sheaths. The body is not the true self, because of it come into being and change and depart from true being in the anna maya kośa. The vital air sheath(prāṇa maya kośa) cannot be the Self because it is a modification of air and, like air, it goes in and come out. The mental sheath(mano maya kośa) cannot be the supreme Self as it has a beginning and end, as it is subject to modifications, as it is of the nature of suffering, as it is an abject. the seeing subject cannot be the seen object. Born in various bodies, it comes and goes, above and below. the waking, dreaming and other states, and experiences of joy and sorrow, belong to the intellectual sheath(vijñāna maya kośa). Hence intellectual sheath, which has been spoken of, cannot be the supreme Self because it is subject to change, it is insentient, it is limited, it is an object of perception, ti changes. the noneternal cannot be proclaimed to be eternal. Also the sheath of bliss(ānanda maya kośa) is not Self. for it exists only at certain times. thus like other sheaths, the bliss sheath is a modification and merely the reflection of bliss which is Self.
