Eka-yāna Thought in the Wujiaozhang

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper has endeavored to prove that the doctrine of the Avatamsaka sūtra is a realistic theory, by examining the doctrine’s originality based on the Avatamsaka sūtra’s view of Eka-yāna thought.
It is established that it was the third Patriarch of the Avatamsaka School, Fazang (法藏, 643-712) who embraced the Biejiaoyisheng (別敎一乘) as the basis of Avatamsaka thought, and then systematized it with all teachings of the Buddha.
In order to examine Fazang’s intention in his insistence that Avatamsaka thought is the Biejiaoyisheng, we have consulted the Wujiaozhang (五敎章) as the most appropriate work, because it is the first instance where Fazang’s position on the doctrine of the Avatamsaka sūtra is explained and the Eka-yāna is examined logically and systematically.
Furthermore, we could say that the Biejiaoyisheng in the Wujiaozhang distinguishes the Eka-yāna of the Avatamsaka sūtra against the Eka-yāna of the Lotus sūtra. Beacause, even though the Biejiaoyisheng and the Tongjiaoyisheng (同敎一乘) are the Eka-yāna, the Biejiaoyisheng claims endless meaning, whereas the Tongjiaoyisheng, means one phenomenon. In other words, the Biejiaoyisheng view is Wujinyuanqi (無盡緣起) itself rather than a metaphysical view; it is the Eka-yāna which embraces reality.
