| 抄録 | The ineffable realm is one of the most widely debated topics in the distinctive religious traditions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Muslim Mysticism, and other religious traditions. All words, metaphors, and symbols in Buddhist literature as well as in other religious literature are the symbolic and metaphoric illustrations that point to what the ineffable reality is. The Buddha kept silent when asked some metaphysical questions. The Buddha`s silence becomes the fundamental tradition of Buddhism, and it is a hot issue in Buddhist Studies. The Buddha`s silence would be a way to avoid either the positive or nihilistic approaches. The Buddha`s silent approach influenced Madhyamika, Yogacara and in particular, Ch`an Buddhism. The paradoxical expression ignores the principle of non-contradiction. It remains as a paradox illustrating the ineffable reality. The paradoxical view follows some logical procedure: (1) either A or B; (2) neither A nor B; (3) not neither A nor B. In the positive way, the paradoxical view admits some validity of the words and metaphors to illustrate the ineffable reality. In contrast, the paradoxical view admits that words, metaphors, and symbols are not the perfect tools for illustrating the ineffable realm. Finally, it rejects the previous formulas and uses the paradoxical logic: not neither A nor B. In this sense, the paradoxical view is neither the positive view nor the nihilistic view. It uses some progressive negations of the preceding syllogism in different perspectives. The Buddha`s silence is an example of the paradoxical expression of the Buddha without relying on words to avoid either Nihilism or Eternalism. |
