초록

This study is on the thought of Hwajaeng Hoetong as it appears in the process of realizing neither truth nor secular, neither edge nor center, the non-dual middle way(無二中道) through the reconciliation of the middle way of Secular truth(俗諦中道) of the nature of dependent arising(依 他起性) and the middle way of True truth(眞諦中道) of the perfectly accomplished nature of reality(圓成實性) in Bunhwang Wonhyo's(617~686) representative work, The Treatise on the Vajrasamādhi Sūtra. Wars are raging in various parts of the world. With the future threatened by nuclear weapons, can humanity truly coexist peacefully? In this international situation, the logic of reconciliation and the method of integration that Wonhyo developed provide humanity with the wisdom to coexist in this era. Wonhyo utilized twofold truth, which are the two features of Buddha's teachings, and three natures, the characteristics of existence, as the main doctrines of Mahayana Buddhism. Wonhyo understood the Vajrasamādhi Sūtra in which the Mahayana meditation is presented, as a scripture that clearly shows how the ideas of twofold truth of Madhyamaka and three natures of Yogācāra are connected. In the first commentary on the Vajrasamādhi Sūtra established in Silla, Wonhyo developed the philosophy of One Mind and intrinsic enlightenment based on the theory of value(practice theory), beyond ontology(theory of subject) and epistemology(theory of mind), by utilizing the ideas of twofold truth and three natures. Thus, Wonhyo intended to harmonize the middle way of Secular truth which has discards the Secular truth of the characteristic of other-dependence and reveals the True truth, and the middle way of True truth which has merged the True truth of intrinsic enlightenment, the perfectly accomplished nature of reality into Secular truth, and realize neither truth nor secular, neither edge nor center, the non-dual middle way. If this is applied to Wonhyo's life, he realized the true truth in the secular truth and then returned to the secular truth, and once again he led the life of the middle way of Secular truth toward that of the middle way of True truth. The returning to the source of One-mind that he aimed to reach corresponds to the middle way of True truth, and benefiting sentient beings corresponds to the middle way of Secular truth. Thus, Wonhyo demonstrated the path of the Buddha by leading a life that advances along the Non-dual Middle Way, which encompasses both the ultimate and the conventional middle way. In this era when Confucian scholars of the Joseon Dynasty have donned Christian attire, it is hoped that they will look back on Wonhyo's Essential writings not just focusing on the elegant prose, but listening carefully to the content.
