Dazhi Degree Of "buddha Thought

Mahaprajna-shastra is the first basic shastra which discuss Weltanschauung and the view of practicing Buddhist conduct overall in the history of Buddhism. It takes its places in the history of the civilisation of mankind. Mahaprajna-shastra is the first writing of Mahayana Buddhism encyclopedia written by Najarjuna who is Mahayana Buddhism Eminent monk of ancient of India. The work fills in the gap which hither to existed in the Mahayana Buddhism shastra. It is regarded as first genre of theory of Mahayana Buddhism. The work firstly stated the activity of basic Mahayana Buddhism theory of the nature of logic in the round. Mahaprajna-shastra had a tremendous effect on the Buddhism of China and India.Although Bodhisattva appears mainly in the sutra-pitaka of the Mahayana Buddhism, there are a few sutras to define the connotation of ideas of Bodhisattva's basic thought. Mahaprajna-shastra firstly made academic positioning to the concept of the Bodhisattva by explaining the Mahaprajna-paramita-sutra. Now it not enough to the study of the Mahaprajna-shastra in the academic circles. You have seldom see a reatise which has got its minds from an overall point of view. It was out of keeping for the status of the Mahaprajna-shastra in the documents of Buddhism. In order to enrich the study of the domain, I am fussy about the mind of Bodhisattva's thought of Mahaprajna-shastra.This thesis try to study the kernel of the Bodhisattva connotation and the other things, for the research of Bodhisattva thought in the Mahaprajna-shastra lacks comparatively. The research of the thesis limit the basic aspect of Bodhisattva thought in the Mahaprajna-shastra, such as the Weltanschauung of Bodhisattva, the view of universal salvation and Buddha's body, compassion of Bodhisattva and Bodhichitta, Prajnaparamita and Upaya, Major contents of Bodhisattva behavior, and the 10 stages of Mahayana bodhisattva development. The thesis try to reveal the basic features of Bodhisattva thought, seeing about the important role in Buddhism history of China and India. Considering the specific properties of Buddhism, I will use the method of philosophy and interpretation (plus the historiography). I will make use of the modern term to analyze the concept of Buddhism from philosophy and explanation of Dhyana-contemplation method from empiricism to the ultimate religious value which was to be weigh in the mind with thoroughness and care. In my explanation, there are the definition of connotation and denotation. In term of several important points related the concept of Bodhisattva, I will deal with the follow contents.In the thesis,I deem that (1) there is the coexistence of unreal and real in this doctrine of prajna, the religious beliefs and practices of the Meditation on the true venerating Buddha and the way or discipline of the Bodhisattva. That emphasis on the Shunyata in the Shastra on Prajna-paramita Sutra is inconceivable. Meanwhile,that self-checking the avail of language used in the Shastra even denial make the veriest Meditation on the true and view of language to reach to some extent extremely;(2)although the Shunyata is the basic mind in the Mahaprajna-shastra, the position of adoring Sakyamuni Buddha and Arhat is very distinct.(3)the religion view of social practice of Mahaprajna-shastra with the six things that ferry one beyond the sea of mortality to nirvana, i,e, dana, shila, ksanti, virya, dhyana, prajna, which are expressed that five must be integrated or the six integrated. (4) Mahaprajna-shastra explains and erects the ruly relationship between the Hinayana and Mahayana. In pure theory, the Hinayana lysenkoisms are accepted overall and explained anew the relation of the Hinayana and Mahayana. Najarjuna attemper the Hinayana and Mahayana,which is a prominent feature in the Mahaprajna-shastra.(5) Mahaprajna-shastra play up the unique Maitri-karuna of Mahayana far beyond the Madhynmaka-karika. The Maitri-karuna of Mahayana which comes next to criaziness is the basic concept of Bodhiattva theory of Mahaprajna-shastra.(6) Upayakaushalya is the second property and bourn of Mahaprajna Prajna, for academic meaning, which is the most basic demand to expression of philosophical and religion of Mahaprajna-shastra, that build up a setoff for Buddhaphala. (7) in order to contest with Hinayana, Mahaprajna-shastra adopt the open form; the great bodhi's wisdom and the power of Buddha-truth to get rid of calamity and subdue evil, such as Maitreya, are made a comparison of Buddha and add glory for itself, which provide with an adoring material to compete against the Hinayana. (8) Mahaprajna-shastra have had a profound impact on the development of Mahayana from epistemological, mentalism, methodology that putting destruction first and construction will follow automatically, to the practice point of view. (9) in the Buddhism theory of the India and the Western Regions, Najarjuna, whose masterpiece------Mahaprajna-shastra, has completed denomination of the Mahayana Buddhism and has finally come to the top in the Mahayana Movement though interpretation of Mahaprajna-shastra, either of the Three Shastras school, or The Tiantai school, they are all being influenced profoundly by the Mahaprajna-shastra.
