| Abstract | Tiantai school flourished during the time of its founder, Zhiyi 智顗 (538-597),and went into decline after his disciple Guanding 灌頂 (561-632) passed away. The ninth patriarch Zhanran 湛然 (711-782) in order to revitalize Tiantai doctrine and adjust it to the changing environment of the Tang China composed a number of exegetic and explanatory works. His effort culminated in his final masterpiece: Jin’gang pi (The Diamond Cutter 金剛錍). In this text, Zhanran presented specifically Tiantai interpretation of the idea that even insentient beings possess the Buddha nature; an argument which opposed the widely accepted interpretation of the Mahāparinirvāṇa sūtra statement that only sentient beings possess the Buddha nature. In his work Zhanran provided a reinterpretation of the famous paragraph from the Mahāparinirvāṇa sūtra (Niepanjing涅槃經) and showed that the text implies that the Buddha nature exists in all beings without discrimination; Zhanran also referred to the concept of “tathatā according with conditions” (zhenru suiyuan 真如隨緣) from the Awakening Faith of Mahāyāna Treatise (Dacheng qixinlun 大乘起信論); and used Tiantai concepts of the “inclusiveness of nature” (xingju 性具) and the “threefold causes of the Buddha-nature” (sanyin foxing 三因佛性) to show that the Buddha nature is all-inclusive and all-penetrating. Zhanran also addressed the criticism that “the name of tathāta is dharma nature for the insentient beings” (zhenru zai wuqing zhong dan ming faxing 真如在無情中但名法性) by distinguishing between “small” and “great” teachings. In addition to presenting an analysis of these arguments, this thesis also includes a selected translation of the Jin’gang pi, all of which will be done to show how Zhanran attempted to revive the Tiantai school by using Tiantai teachings to support his argument. |
