『절관론(絶觀論)』의 사상과 선종사적 영향

Abstract

Jueguanlun has been controversial over the author and the date of its establishment. The traditional perception of the relationship between the author, Niutou-Fayung牛頭法融, and this text, was constructed later. It seems to have been formed in the era of Huichung慧忠 and Hsuansu玄素. Ox-head school emerged as the orthodoxy of Bodhidharma, which exists independently of the Northern and Southern schools, criticizing the Northern Chan and critically accepting Shenhui神會's Southern Chan. It is estimated that the genealogy of the Ox-head school and the establishment of the Jueguanlun were created, and the genealogy of from Bodhidharma to Daoxin道信 and the genealogy of the 6th generation of the Ox-head school from Fayung to Huichung/Hsuansu were connected. In particular, Foku-Itse佛窟遺則 presented the idea of 'there nothing what so ever to hold to’無物, and considering the fact that he was involved in the existence of Ox-head and Foku school independent of the Northern/Southern school in Songgaosengzhuan宋高僧傳. Jueguanlun's "there nothing what soever to hold to" was adapted as a song of Huineng慧能's enlightenment delivered by Yangshan-Huiji仰山慧寂 in Zutangji祖堂集, and later became a concept that guarantees the legitimacy of Hongzhou school洪州 by taking ideological initiative on behalf of Heze荷澤 school. Jueguanlun's Nothingness played a role in converting Huineng's "Buddha nature" delivered by Shenhui's lineage into "there nothing whatsoever to hold to" and has since been internalized as the core of history of Chan Buddhism.
