| 摘要 | This dissertation examines the relation between the Madhyamaka and Yogacara schools of Buddhism, focusing on the Yogacara perspective. It reevaluates the opinion, generally accepted among modern scholars, that the Madhyamaka and Yogacara schools constitute divergent and radically opposed movements within the Buddhist Tradition. To address this issue, the dissertation distinguishes between two separate questions. The first question is whether the early Yogacara writers were actively refuting what they perceived to be a distinct religious school within the Buddhist tradition. This question is doxographical, concerning itself with how the authors of certain Yogacara texts saw their own theories in relation to other Buddhist teachings. The second question is whether the philosophical doctrines of the early Yogacara writers are inconsistent with the foundational Madhyamaka writings. This question is one of comparative religious philosophies. In addressing the doxographical question, the dissertation examines the biographical sources pertaining to the early Yogacara writers, Asanga and Vasubandhu, as well as the philosophical writings which are attributed to them. None of these sources give any indication that the early Yogacara writers were in dialogue with the Madhyamaka as a distinct philosophical school. In addressing the philosophical question regarding the relation between the Madhyamaka and Yogacara, the dissertation examines two doctrines which are closely associated with the two schools respectively: the two truths and the three natures. Rather than negating or correcting the Madhyamaka notion of two truths, the Yogacara doctrine of three natures is shown to be in accord with and complementary to the two truths. The dissertation concludes that the view commonly held in Western scholarship that the Yogacara school arose in opposition to the Madhyamaka school rests upon a failure to make a clear distinction between the early and later phases of the two schools. In drawing from the later commentarial traditions of both schools, in which debates between the Madhyamaka and Yogacara schools had arisen, modern scholars have transposed onto early Madhyamaka and Yogacara writings a philosophical stance and a doxographical self-understanding which does not apply. |
