『金剛仙論』의 分科와 그 사상적 특징

The Division of Chapters of Vajracchedikā-prajñāpāramitā- sūtra by Abhidharma of Vajrarṣi and Vajrarṣi’s Philosophy Implicated in It

&nbsp;&nbsp;The Abhidharma of Vajrar ？i (金剛仙論) by Vajrar？i (金剛仙) is a treatise on Vajracchedik？-praj？？-p？ramit？-s？tra (金剛經). It is in fact The Abhidharma of Vajracchedik？-praj？？-p？ramit？-s？tra (金剛般若論) by Vasubandhu (天親). And Vasubandhu’s treatise is, in turn, the same as The Abhidharma of Vajracchedik？-praj？？-p？ramit？-s？tra by Asa？ga (無著) that consists in eighty g？th？s about Vajracchedik？-praj？？-p？ramit？s？tra. It was said that Asa？ga received it from Bodhisattva Maitreya (彌勒菩薩) while in sam？dhi.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Vajrar？i (or Vajrar？ri or Vajrasena) was a disciple of Vasubandhu. He thus inherited the thoughts of Vasubandhu in his Abhidharma of Vajrar？i: firstly, the idea of the threefold body of the buddha, namely, the Dharma-body, the reward-body and the manifestationbody; Secondly, the ideas of threefold ？？nyat？ (三空) and twofold nir？tman (二無我); and thirdly, the idea about the relationship between the doctrine in words and the enlightenment itself through words.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Vajrar？i however classified the contents of Vajracchedik？-praj？？p？ramit？-s？tra into 12 chapters, differently from Vasubandhu’ s classification: (1) Preface; (2) Taking care of Bodhisattvas; (2) Maintenance of pure-mind; (4) Self-discipline going well; (5) Tathagatas are not produced by causation; (6) ？tman and dharma are both empty; (7) The virtues of dharma is superior to those of treasures; (8) All sentient beings have the Buddha-nature; (9) The benefits of bearing the S？tra; (10) Elimination of doubts; (11) Noattachments to enlightenment; and (12) Commitment.
