불교의 자력과 타력 문제

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Buddhism is a vivid religion. Buddhist discipline is a vivid discipline. Hence, Buddhism does not only include the philology and the philosophical logic but also embrace the total activities of current cultural phenomena which accept Buddha as the founder of the religion and follow his teachings in a real life around various places.
Even though the basic backgrounds of Buddhism such as accepting the same founder of the religion and making efforts for enlightenment are identical, Buddhist practice methodology could be varied according to different places and different times. This is what we called as expedience for the promulgation of Buddhism. Thus, we might say that all kinds of practices and ceremonial forms that attempt to attain Buddhist's purpose are Buddhism.
Faith in the other-power of Buddhism is a belief of the cause and effect theory which illustrates all kinds of truthness, henceforth, it is a belief of Darmakaya. Faith in the other-power of Buddhism is a belief of the immeasurable virtue which is attained by countless number of practicing Buddhist lifes, henceforth, it is a belief of Sambhogakaya. Faith in the other-power of Buddhism is a belief of immeasurable compassion power of all Buddhas and bodhisattvas, henceforth, it is a belief of Nirmanakaya. Thus, devotion for self-illumination is a belief of pure Vairochana. Sincere prayer to Buddha for entering into the world of Elysium and occupying pure-land is a belief of fully-attained Vairochana. Sincere pray for compassion power of Buddha in a current life time is a belief of numerous incarnations of Shakyamuni Buddha.
