| Abstract | Based on the Anūnatvâpūrṇatva-nirdeśa and the discourse on worldviews therein,this paper examines the migration among abiding-places and the relationship betweensentient beings and worldly abiding-places from the viewpoint of cyclic rebirth(saṃsāra). Foregrounding worldviews as its discursive landscape and acknowledgingthe diversity thereof in this world, this paper further discusses the challenges posed by theexperience of different, and sometimes antagonistic, worldviews from the perspective ofco-arising and mutual accomplishment to exemplify the inclusive characteristic of theAnūnatvâpūrṇatva-nirdeśa. The Anūnatvâpūrṇatva-nirdeśa breaks down sentient beings’ repeated births anddeaths into the realm of sentient beings, eka-dharma-dhātu, and tathāgata-garbha,all of which are not only rooted in dharma-kāya, but, in their relation to the realm ofsentient beings, also point the way to life-practice. Through life-practice, the sufferingof repeated births and deaths is clearly recognized, and hence one had better not cling toany worldly abiding-places. By examining into the facts connected with cyclic rebirth,one can cultivate remarkable ability to detach oneself from any investment in worldlyabiding-places and thus become liberated and at ease. In addition to an examination of the abiding-places, the issue of how variousworldviews should be cognized will also be explored. From the vantage point ofeka-dharma-dhātu, first, the Anūnatvâpūrṇatva-nirdeśa examines the variety ofworldviews from the angle of conditioned co-arising. Second, it channels those whofirmly hold their preconceptions to mutual growth through its inclusive characteristic. |
