Abstract

In this paper, I will study the relation between enlightenment of the practitioner and happiness of the ordinary man focused on Awakening of Mahāyāna Faith(one mind and two gates and five gates). Even though the practitioner finds enlightenment in Korean buddhism, enlightenment of the practitioner is not connected to happiness of the ordinary man in many cases. This is the problem of this paper. Judging from viewpoint of true thusness aspect of the mind of Awakening of Mahāyāna Faith, Buddha and sentient being, including the ordinary man, are originally equal. Accordingly, I need not discuss the relation between enlightenment of the practitioner and happiness of the ordinary man. Judging from the eye of Buddha, the ordinary man is already Buddha. But judging from viewpoint of arising and ceasing aspect of the mind of Awakening of Mahāyāna Faith, Buddha and sentient being are strictly different. Accordingly, the ways for sentient being to practice and to be Buddha exists. Awakening of Mahāyāna Faith explains the ways in four stages. And Awakening of Mahāyāna Faith explains five gates, that is, dāna, precepts, patience, effort, śamatha and vipaśanā as practice theory. Here I will study that the practitioner to complete enlightenment increases happiness of the ordinary man through practice of five gates. In concrete terms, dāna, effort, vipaśanā among five gates, have a direct impact on happiness of the ordinary man.
