『真実綱要細注』における世尊の発話欲求と慈悲

抄録

This paper examines the relationship between the Bhagavat speaking while holding discriminative conceptions and his compassion based on the idea of the “two kinds of conceptions” found in the Tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā (TSP). To speak one must conceptualize. The Bhagavat conceptualizes in order to preach to sentient beings through words, which he does based on compassion. TSP says that the cause of him speaking is his wish to speak, and that this wish could be due to desire but compassion as well. This idea appears to have been shaped by Pramāṇavārttika(svavṛtti) 1.12. TSP also considers the relationship between conceptions and the wish to speak, and classifies the former into two kinds: afflicted conceptions and positive conceptions that are conducive to benefitting sentient beings. The idea that the Buddha enters into a conceptualizing state and preaches for the benefit of sentient beings can also be found in the Tattvāvatāravṛtti.
