| 摘要 | The spread of the Tang Esoteric Buddhism to Japan inevitably results in its doctrinal variation, just as is seen between the different Tantric views of Dharmakāya held by Amoghavajra and Kūkai. It is believed by most Chinese and Japanese scholars that Amoghavajra employed the concept of Dharmakāya of Yogācāra when he was translating the Esoteric sūtras. For example, in his translation, there are two specific connotations of Vairocana, i.e. the Vairocana as the Dharmakāya and the Vairocana of the Diamond Mandala as the Saṃbhogakāya. According to Amoghavajra, the latter one is the perfect Saṃbhogakāya as the Buddha of self-enjoyment, which preaches esoteric teachings. However, against this view, Kūkai holds that Vairocana is the svasambhogakāya as the svabhāva-kāya, i.e. the body of own-nature, the hierarch of the Esoteric Buddhism, the one who preaches esoteric teachings from his own-nature—teaching from the Dharmakāya; while other teachings are just exoteric teachings that are taught by the parasaṃbhogakāya. This is the prominent discrepancy between Amoghavajra and Kūkai on the issue of the nature of Vairocana. This paper aims to clarify the evolutionary process of the ideology of Esoteric Buddhism from Amoghavajra to Kūkai, by examining primary sources with reference to relevant researches of Chinese and Japanese scholars. |
