シャーキャ・チョクデンにおける自立論証派の世俗観

抄録

The purpose of this paper is to clarify Shākya mchog ldan’s understanding of the Svātantrika school’s view of saṃvṛti, or conventional reality, by contrasting it with the Dge lugs pa’s understanding. As previous researches have indicated, Tsong kha pa distinguishes the ontological standpoint of the Svātantrika from that of the Prāsaṅgika, and further distinguishes that of Jñānagarbha and Śāntarakṣita, both belonging to the Svātantrika school. Shākya mchog ldan on the contrary holds that there is no difference in the ontology of Jñānagarbha and Śāntarakṣita at all; for both of them, in conformity with the view of the Prāsaṅgika school, regard saṃvṛti as that which is obtained without analysis by reasoning and paramārtha as that which is free from conceptual elaborations and beyond the sphere of language. Shākya mchog ldan instead asserts that the main difference between the two lies only in the method of leading trainees to realize the ultimate truth of emptiness: while Śāntarakṣita thinks that the study of the Yogācāra theory is necessary for realizing emptiness, Jñānagarbha does not. Shākya mchog ldan’s discussion thus offers a new look at the Svātantrika view of saṃvṛti, which is underestimated by Dge lugs pa scholars.
