鐒巟樑 [py] bi4zhi1fo2 [wg] pi-chih-fo [ko] pyôkchibul [ja] 價儍僋僔僽僣 byakushibutsu ||| The transliteration of the Sanskrit pratyekabuddha (Pali: pacceka-buddha) translated into Chinese as either yuanjue 墢鍿 ("enlightened by contemplation on dependent origination") or dujue 嗾鍿 ('solitary realizer', 'self-enlightened one', 'individual illuminate'). One of two kinds of lesser vehicle 彫槱 sages, whose practice, according the Mahaayaana perspective, is aimed toward the goal of arhatship, the other being a `sraavaka (氵暦). (1) The first Chinese rendering of the term, yuanjue 墢鍿, emphasizes the method by which the practitioner attains the goal, that is by analyzing the principle of the twelve-part conditioned origination 廫擇場墢.乲洀惈榑 T 1611.31.821a乴 (2) The second rendering, dujue 嗾鍿, refers to the fact that this practitioner attains liberation through his own study and effort, not relying on the sermons of a teacher, and staying by himself absorbed in contemplation. This term was originally borrowed from the non-Buddhist Jain sect. 乲嬩幧榑丄 T 1558.29.64a乴 (3) Related to definition #2, a person who attains liberation but who does not come to the world and teach sentient beings.

K&umacron;kai's 嬻奀 classic work on esoteric thought, composed in 814 CE. Justifying his presentation on the grounds that esotericism remains poorly understood 恖枛懡夝 while exotericism has been expounded at length, K&umacron;kai outlines several differences in the two modes of discourse which may be summarised as follows: 1) the exoteric is characterised by literalism 棼 and omission 棯悁婡, while the esoteric is hidden 枾 and final 慡. 2) exoteric discourse originates in ostensibly real or historical figures 滀恎, while esoteric discourse is revealed by universal entities for their own pleasure 帺庴朄炠. 3) "esoteric" refers to the concealed original nature of sentient beings and the inner realization 撪鏆 of the Tath&amacron;gata; "exoteric" refers to the concealment of inner realization in expedient teachings. K&umacron;kai acknowledges that "esoteric" is a somewhat relative term, so that the Mah&amacron;y&amacron;na may be considered esoteric from the standpoint of the Hinay&amacron;na. Furthermore, esoteric notions may be found in earlier texts such as the Da`sabhuumika 廫抧鉙 and in non-Buddhist treatises as well. On the question of whether dharaa.niis 懮梾擈 ought to be considered esoteric, since they are often based on exoteric texts, K&umacron;kai says that they are of esoteric character but are not final like the teaching of the Dharma Embodied 朄恎. Much of the text is occupied by quotations from a number of sources [T 261, T 360, T 671, T 848, T 861, T 865, T 866, T 867, T 870, T 997, T 1125, T 1509, T 1665, T 1668]. [Credit] is(entry)
