원측(圓測)의 리성(理性)과 행성(行性) 해석의 연원과 특징 - 지론사(地論師)와 섭론사(攝論師)와의 연속성에 주목하여 -

Abstract

This paper is an exposition on hermeneutical background and features of Woncheuk’s (圓測, 613~696) interpretations on lixing (理性) and xingxing (行性). For this, first I investigated the interpretations on them of a representative of Dilun School’s master Jingying (淨影) Huiyuan (慧遠, 523~592), who has formulated lixing and xingxing as the correlative category, and two thinkers of Fabao (法寶) and Lingrun (靈潤) in Shelun School, which has enormously influenced on a “young” thinker Woncheuk. After placing him under this hermeneutical background, second I illuminated the features of his interpretations on them. In sum, Woncheuk’ view are featured by these points as follows. First, lixing and xingxing are accompanied by each other since the former is completely manifestable by the latter. Second, the extent of both can be overlapped since lixing can be regarded as including the practice of penetrating the ultimate śūnyatā, the essence of the xingxing. Third, they are in the complementary relationship that achieves Buddhahood since corroboratively help to accomplish both essential and perceptional aspects of Buddhas’ world. In conclusion, these three hermeneutical features show Woncheuk has succeeded to the hermeneutical tendency of his precedents like Jingying Huiyuan, Fabao, and Lingrun, which stresses the xingxing connected with lixing is the principle of unifying which makes the practitioners overcome their own limitations and achieve the ultimate Buddhahood.
