| 摘要 | There cannot be a proper understanding of Huayan teaching without Sunyata thought. Of course, the latter is not the essential part of the former. In order to get a complete picture of Huayan teaching, however, it is very important to understand how the concept of Sunyata has developed, after having analyzed and examined the meaning of Sunyata from the standpoint of Huayan. In the Huayan tradition, though the primary meaning of Sunyata is negation (否定), one tries to see the archetypal aspect of things from a level that transcends both ``being`` and ``non-being.`` That is, while acknowledging a thing before our eyes to have specific features, the thing itself is not a fixed and unchanging object and is accepted without any limitations. It is, therefore, not forcibly argued that a thing does not exist; what is asserted is that from the beginning it was non-existent. Sunyata and ``being,`` in the sense of the perfect interfusion (圓融) of Huayan, are mutually interpenetrative (相卽) and non-obstructing (無碍). When viewed from the doctrinal aspect of Huayan teaching, the basis of the ``non-obstruction of all phenomena`` (事事無碍) is the ``non-obstruction of noumenon and phenomenon`` (理事無碍), and what supports the latter is none other than the ``non-obstruction of Sunyata and being (空有無碍).`` Sunyata as the ultimate concept of Huayan is not valid unless it relies on the teaching of perfection (圓敎), for the concept that Dependent Origination infinitely overlaps phenomena (重重無盡緣起) is, indeed, Sunyata. |
