| 摘要 | The present study is concerned with the hermeneutical issues that the Prajnaparamita scriptures raise. The study has the Madhyamika frame of reference. The focus is largely placed on the thought of Korean monk Seungrang, a founder of the She-ling tradition, and of Candrakirti, an exponent of the Prasangika school. Among other things, these two dominant Madhyamika thinkers were concerned with the nature of the scriptural word (Dharma-desana) and its interpretive methods, connecting dialectical reasoning with scriptural understanding. The study explores the hermeneutical questions of the scriptural word in the light of the basic scriptural claim, namely, there is no Dharma without the scriptural word in Buddhism. This approach can be characterized as a type of deconstructive hermeneutics, meaning the enlightened experience can be traced only through the scriptural texts, at the same time, one should not be misled by the ontological pretension of language. The initial chapter presents the objective of the study and introductory description of the two Madhyamika traditions, in this case, the She-ling and the Prasangika. Chapter two deals with the concept of scripture in Buddhism. The nature of the Buddha-word (Buddha-vacanam) and its relation to the Buddha-Dharma, and the problem of the salvation outside of scripture are explored. In chapter three, we deal with the Madhyamika notion of truth and method, associating the notion of method with scriptural texts. The primacy of method in Buddhism and the dialectical method of the endless deconstruction of the definitive texts and the ultimate truth are explored. The focus of chapter four is the epistemic validity of scriptural authority. We explore the reason why Madhyamika rejects epistemology as a methodology of handling emancipatory concerns, showing instead how the death of epistemology leads to the doctrine of emptiness ('sunyata). The concluding chapter deals with soteriological issues. Along with analysis of the meaning of Tathagata's return to the people's language, the significance of affirming conventional language and its implication for practice are explored. The study also presents how equation of the middle with the ekayana offers a solution to the problems of truth claims and scriptural plurality. |
