| Abstract | During his life, W*nhyo was a most venerable Master of Bodhisattva practices as well as a master of doctrinal teachings. He is called a bodhisattva of the first stage of bhumi and his works contain deep concerns on the sentient beings. As an illustration of his intention, I have studied his view on rebirth(往生) of the sentient beings(凡夫) to the Pure Land in his Muryangsu gy*ng chong`yo(無量壽經宗要, the thematic essential of The Larger S^tra on Amit2yus). The sentient beings should arouse the Mind to enlightenment in order to be reborn in the Pure Land, but that is very difficult. So W*nhyo rescues us, the sentient beings, by saying that Sa &ihok chungsaeng(四疑惑衆生, four kinds of doubting sentient beings) could be born in the Pure Land because of his eager faith. And his suggestion as to how one can be rescued comes from his long career of cultivation and practices and from his compassion for the sentient beings. |
