연기(paṭiccasamuppāda)설의 형이상학화 – 설일체유부 문헌을 중심으로 한 인과법칙으로서의 연기

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the process of expanding the application of the theory of Pratītyasamutpāda from the teaching of mental conditioning to the law of causality of things, focusing on the texts of Sarvāstivāda. In early Buddhism, the theory of paṭiccasamuppāda is an existential teaching that explains the occurrence and cessation of suffering. This paper first was considered for the process in which the principle of causality was applied as the basis for establishing the metaphysical system of the Pratītyasamutpāda theory, centering on the texts of Sarvāstivāda. And Various interpretations of the citta-viprayukta-saṁskāra-dharma and the four types of Pratītyasamutpāda were studied. Pratītyasamutpāda as Saṃskrta-Dharma is explained as a law that produces an effect in the relationship between cause and condition, and is also separated from Pratītyasamutpānna Dharma. Citta-viprayukta-saṁskāra-dharma is applied to the present world as an objective principle with its own characteristics and actions without occupying space. Citta-viprayukta-saṁskāra-dharma is a physical law that can be applied to non-living as well as sentient beings. In the texts of Sarvāstivāda, there are various interpretations of Pratītyasamutpāda such as kṣaṇika, sāṃbandhika, āvasthika, prākarāṣika. These four types of Pratītyasamutpāda have been broadly applied as principles for the laws of existence and occurrence of things. Through this study, the writer was able to confirm the process of establishing a metaphysical system as Pratītyasamutpāda can be applied to the general existence of being as Saṃskrta-Dharma, and interpreted broadly as the law of occurrence of things.
