This one cer- tainly did. First commissioned in 1997, this volume went through a continuous series of changes in contributors and editors, to the extent that there were times of doubt (at least in the minds of one or two) as to whether it would ever see the light of day. But here it is—a collection of some of Wŏnhyo’s most challenging and philosophically stimulating works in one volume, well-translated and well-annotated. We would like to take this opportunity to offer our thanks and congratula- tions to Sung Bae Park, for whom the translation of Wŏnhyo’s extant works into English has been a lifelong dream, a dream that is gradually moving toward its fruition. It was Sung Bae who put the initial parties and funding together and who organized the groundwork for the production of this watershed project for Wŏnhyo studies. We would also like to extend our deep thanks to Robert Siegel and Sungtaek Cho, who expended enormous energy in the early days of the proj- ect to put the initial teams together and who handled numerous managerial and editorial tasks while under other pressing responsibilities. Their task was subse- quently taken over by Hongkyung Kim, who has also worked tirelessly to keep things on track. Our thanks also to the two readers for the University of Hawai‘i Press, Rob- ert Kritzer and Dan Lusthaus, whose valuable comments resulted in a significant improvement in the overall quality of the volume. As it turned out, when we, as dilettantes in Buddhist logic, were frustrated with having to tackle an impenetra- ble fragment of Wŏnhyo’s attempt at hetuvidyā, we enlisted Lusthaus to become one of our contributors. It was a good decision, because Dan ended up producing a translation and introduction that, to our knowledge, virtually no one else in the field of East Asian Buddhist studies is presently capable of doing to this level. Another important later contributor to the volume is William Waldron. We were struggling with the first half of the general introduction (on Yogācāra and Tathāgatagarbha, in their symbiotic relationship) and had reached a bit of an im- passe in the process of trying to blend the two rather different essays written by Nguyen and Muller. Bill rewrought the whole thing into a single essay that I think we can safely say is now one of the best single introductions to Yogācāra/ Tathāgatagarbha presently available. vii viii Acknowledgments Last, but furthest from the least: All of the participants in this volume proj- ect owe profound thanks to Robert Buswell, who jump-started the entire project at a critical juncture, arranging the publication agreement with the University of Hawai‘i Press and pushing the volumes in this series through the stage of produc- tion. In particular, he worked to get this volume on track again at a point when it had been in limbo for a couple of years. Without Robert’s rare combination of scholarly, editorial, and managerial talents, this volume would probably never have seen the light of day. We are immeasurably grateful. A.

Buddhist Philosophy of Mind in East Asia Modern scholars have come to distinguish two major streams of early East Asian Mahāyāna Buddhist philosophy. Both of these were based on Indian antecedents, and both conducted thorough examinations of the constitution and transforma- tive potential of human consciousness, particularly the potential for sentient beings to be liberated from the suffering of cyclic existence. These are the doctri- nal streams of Yogācāra and Tathāgatagarbha. Although these two currents of Buddhist thought held differing views on such matters as the basic moral quality of the human mind and the possibility of universal enlightenment, they did share extensively in the content of their doctrines and practices, as well as their technical terminology. These were the two most significant philosophies of mind to be received, studied, and interpreted by Wŏnhyo (617–686), and they provided the basic framework for his own philosophical perspectives.1 We will pay special attention to Wŏnhyo’s treatment of these two doctrinal streams below, but first we will briefly review their general course of development, paying special atten- tion to their symbiotic relationship. 1.1. Grounding in Basic Buddhist Philosophical and Soteriological Approaches The Buddhist philosophies of mind received by Wŏnhyo were the product of many centuries of reflection on psychological, epistemological, and soteriologi- cal questions, whose origins lay as far back as the first couple of centuries after the passing of Śākyamuni Buddha. As Buddhism developed in the philosophi- cally sophisticated and religiously variegated milieu of India, there arose the need to provide rational explanations for those aspects of its doctrines that con- tradicted the general tenets of the non-Buddhist Indian religious worldview, which are generally subsumed under the rubric of Brahmanism.

  • Remarks About the History of the Sarvāstivāda Buddhism
    ROCZNIK ORIENTALISTYCZNY, T. LXVII, Z. 1, 2014, (s. 255–268) CHARLES WILLEMEN Remarks about the History of the Sarvāstivāda Buddhism Abstract Study about the history of a specific Buddhist monastic lineage known as “Sarvāstivāda” based on an overview of the history of its literature. Keywords: Sarvāstivāda, Buddhism, schism, Mahāyāna, Abhidharma, India, Gandhāra All scholars agree that the Sarvāstivāda (“Proclaiming that Everything Exists”) Buddhism was strong in India’s north-western cultural area. All agree that there was the first and seminal schism between the Sthaviravāda and the Mahāsāṅghika. However, many questions still remain to be answered. For instance, when did the first schism take place? Where exactly in India’s north-western area? We know what the Theravāda tradition has to say, but this is the voice of just one Buddhist tradition. Jibin 罽賓 The Chinese term Jibin is used to designate the north-western cultural area of India. For many years it has been maintained by Buddhist scholars that it is a phonetic rendering of a Prakrit word for Kaśmīra. In 2009 Seishi Karashima wrote that Jibin is a Chinese phonetic rendering of Kaśpīr, a Gāndhārī form of Kaśmīra.1 In 1993 Fumio Enomoto postulated that Jibin is a phonetic rendering of Kapiśa (Kāpiśī, Bagram).2 Historians have long held a different view. In his article of 1996 János Harmatta said that in the seventh century Jibin denoted the Kapiśa-Gandhāra area.3 For this opinion he relied on 1 Karashima 2009: 56–57. 2 Enomoto 1993: 265–266. 3 Harmatta (1996) 1999: 371, 373–379. 256 CHARLES WILLEMEN Édouard Chavannes’s work published in 1903.

I believe that this is because the Buddha’s basic approach was to prescribe a different treatment for every spiritual ailment, much as a doctor prescribes a different medicine for every medical ailment. Thus his teachings were always appro­ priate for the particular suffering individual and for the time at which the teaching was given, and over the ages not one of his prescriptions has failed to relieve the suffering to which it was addressed. Ever since the Buddha’s Great Demise over twenty-five hundred years ago, his message of wisdom and compassion has spread throughout the world.

    Attacked by Māra. Tiantai Zhiyi (538-597) and the Birth of Chinese Buddhist Meditative Demonology Guttorm Norberg Gundersen Master Thesis (60stp.) East Asian Culture and History (EAST4591) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages Faculty of Humanities UNIVERSITY OF OSLO June 1st, 2017 II Attacked by Māra. Tiantai Zhiyi (538-597) and the Birth of Chinese Buddhist Meditative Demonology Guttorm Norberg Gundersen III Copyright: Guttorm Norberg Gundersen 2017 Attacked by Māra. Tiantai Zhiyi (538-597) and the Birth of Chinese Buddhist Meditative Demonology Guttorm Norberg Gundersen http://www.duo.uio.no Print: Webergs Printshop IV Til Pappa V Abstract This study deals with the emergence of the concept of “Māra disturbance” (móshì 魔事) in Buddhist meditation in sixth century China. It argues that the influential Chinese Buddhist master Zhìyǐ 智顗 (538-597) of the Tiāntái 天台 tradition seems to be the first to systematically discuss the idea that practitioners of meditation may be targeted by the Buddhist arch-demon Māra. The study takes as its textual focus the “Explanation of the Sequential Dharma Gates of the Perfection of Dhyāna” (Shì chánbōluómì cìdì fǎmén 釋禪波羅密次第法門). This understudied treatise is one of the earliest extant systematic instructions on Buddhist meditation practice written by a Chinese monk, and as such is an important milestone in the history of Buddhist meditation in China. The study is therefore also a contribution to research on early Chinese Buddhist meditation. The concept of “Māra disturbance,” the study shows, draws on certain Buddhist and Chinese religious traditions, but was recast by Zhiyi. In the process it came to constitute what we call an alternative paradigm for understanding meditative experience.

  • On Wonhyo's Enlightenment Sung-Bae Park
    On Wonhyo's Enlightenment Sung-bae Park In contemporary phenomenological thought, the German philosopher Martin Heidegger has made widespread the hermeneutic methodology of etymological analysis, in order to uncover the hidden meaning of words, i. e., to bring the meaning of words from concealment into nonconcealment. Through etymological analysis one unlocks and unfolds the inner meaning of words and concepts by tracing them back to their originary and primordial verb roots. I would now like to apply this hermeneutical method of etymological analysis to the central concern of all Buddhist sects-the notion of "Enlightenment." In China, such terms as Wu (悟), Chueh (覚) or Chien-sheng (見 性) are em- ployed to express the experience of enlightenment. Whereas in Japan, the con- cept of enlightenment is conveyed by such terms as Kensho (見 性) or satori (悟 り). However, in colloquial Korean vocabulary, enlightent is communicated by the term Kkaech'im. The verbal root form of this term is Kkaech'ida meaning "to awaken." Again, the root may be etymologically analyzed into the archaic verb root Kkaeda, meanining (i) to awaken; (ii) to become sober; (iii) to become aware; (iv) to be hatched [born anew]; (v) to return to life; (vi) to wake up; (vii) to break. From this archaic root, there are principally two major derivative verbal roots, these being Kkaejida, meaning "having been broken" or "breakage," as well as Kkaech'ida, whose noun form, Kkaech'im, is the Korean word for "Enlightenment." What is especially of interest here is the relation between Kkaech'im as "en- lightenment" and Kkaejim as "brokenness." For the concept of enlightenment, in its Korean context, now assumes the meaning of "breaking," "brokenness," "breakage," "to break" or "break -through." At once, two questions thus arise here, namely (i) What is it that is "broken" in the enlightenment experieri- ence? and (ii) How, in fact, does this total breakage actually occur? We have asserted that in Korean Buddhism, a total breakage is the necessary -470- (14) On Wonhyo's Enlightenment (S.

  • Computational Thinking: a Case Study of Buddhist Terminology Using New Software Lewis Lancaster*
    Journal of World Languages, 2014 Vol. 1, No. 1, 7–17, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/21698252.2014.893674 Computational thinking: a case study of Buddhist terminology using new software Lewis Lancaster* Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, University of California, Berkeley, USA With the advent of digital technology, there are radical changes sweeping through disciplines that cannot be resisted. It is part of this shift that is described by the term “Computational Thinking”. It is defined as the scholarly strategy of thinking at multi- ple levels of abstraction with the added use of the capacity of the computer to count and analyze complexity. As an example of “Computational Thinking”, I have used the digitized Korean version of the Chinese Buddhist canon, to explore an important term 本覺. The expression is usually translated as “Original Enlightenment” and is a major doctrinal teaching in East Asia. The analytic computation of the canon is further enhanced by the metadata tag of time, the purported date of translation. Providing temporal aspects to the computation gives us invaluable ways of analysis that would not be possible without the dating. The computation provides a glimpse of the history of the occurrences. Keywords: computational thinking; Buddhist canon; digital technology A new term has come into vogue among scholars –“Computational Thinking”.1 It is defined as the scholarly strategy of thinking at multiple levels of abstraction with the added use of the capacity of the computer to count and analyze complexity. In the Humanities, there is resistance to quantitative methods since the historic role of the field has been to work only with qualitative strategies.

  • Santaraksita and Modern Philosophy
    SANTARAKSITA AND MODERN PHILOSOPHY Marie-Louise Friquegnon William Paterson University The philosopher Santaraksita was born in Bengal, the son of the king, in the same family as Atisa.. Renouncing worldly honors, he became a monk. Eagerly pursuing knowledge, he became one of the greatest Buddhist philosopher of all time. Professor of philosophy and abbot at the famous university-monastery of Nalanda in north India, he analyzed and refuted many tenets of Buddhist and non-Buddhist schools. Summary: Santaraksita asserted nothing to be true on the absolute level. But on the relative level he claimed that all of reality was nothing other than mind. He arrived at his philosophical position in the following way. There are two possible candidates for the nature of reality, -material and mental. If reality is material, it must be made of parts. The smallest of these are said to be atoms. But if they are the smallest, they must be indivisible. However, if they are indivisible, they can have no extension. (For the only number which is indivisible is zero.) Nor can they have sides to attach to one another, for if they had sides, they would be divisible into those sides. So they cannot combine to make up larger objects. So it would seem that the only alternative is that reality is mental. It is, after all, impossible to deny awareness without utilizing awareness. But there are problems with the concept of mind and its relation to an object. Mind is either one or many, a unity or a plurality, one with its object or different.

  • The Mahāsāṃghikas and the Origin of Mahayana Buddhism: Evidence Provided in the *Abhidharmamahāvibhāṣāśāstra
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE The Mahāsāṃghikas and the Origin of Mahayana Buddhism: Evidence Provided in the *Abhidharmamahāvibhāṣāśāstra BART DESSEIN INTRODUCTION HE QUESTION whether or not the rise of Mahayana Buddhism occurred Twithin one particular school of Nikāya Buddhism—whereby the Mahāsāṃghikas are often credited with this important development—has been answered differently by various scholars in the field. A related ques- tion is in which geographical region did this development start. In favor of the claim that Mahayana Buddhism arose within the Mahāsāṃghika school seems to be the fact that some historical accounts connect the origin of this school to the so-called “five points of Mahādeva” that demote the position of an arhat. A closer investigation into these “five points,” however, shows that Mahādeva most likely has to be connected with the later fragmentation of the Mahāsāṃghikas into different subschools. These subschools became prominent in the south of the Indian subcontinent. Epigraphical evidence for the presence of these southern subschools is dated to the second and third centuries CE, i.e., posterior to the epigraphical evidence for the pres- ence of the Mahāsāṃghikas in the north. An investigation of Mahāsāṃghika literature reveals a growing pre- occupation with abhidharmic questions and a gradual evolution toward the Mahayana, as is also seen among the Mahāsāṃghika subschools that resided in the north.
