道安經序思想的轉折及在格義問題上的意義=The Matching of Ideas in Buddhism During the Periodof Disunion: A Study of Tao-an's Interpretation ofBuddhism as Revealed in His Preface to Buddhist Sutras
Fa-tsang's Critique on the Lotus Sutra Contained in His Treatise on the Five Teachings:A Discussion from the Viewpoint of T'ien-t'ai Doxology by Chuang K'un-mu (Abstract) Fa-tsang spent much energy on propagating the Special Teaching of the One Vehicle,the boundless Hua-yen Sutra, in his Treatise on the Five Teachings. He established the Special Teaching of the One Vehicle mainly on the basis of the Common Teaching of the One Vehicle of the Lotus Sutra availing himself frequently of T'ien-t'ai and Lotus Sutra concepts. Nevertheless, in his Treatise on the Five Teachings Fa-tsang mentioned the Lotus Sutra, which belongs to the Perfect Teaching of the T'ien-t'a passing and failed to provide it with a reasonable position. Compared with this treatment,the T'ien-t'ai system of the Four Teachings assigns a clear role to the Hua-yen Sutra, to wit the Special Teaching. Thus it can be said that Chih-yi's doxology is stricter and more complete. Though Fa-tsang lived later,he did not incorporate T'ien-t'ai in a reasonable manner into his doxology. It is a deficiency of Fa-tsang's system that the Lotus Sutra could not find a proper place therein. The present paper discus ses Fa-tsang's attitude mainly by studying all the sections in the Treatise on the Five Teachings in which the Lotus Sutra and T'ien-t'ai are mentioned.
