An Enquiry Concerning "Pravrtti-vij(?)na" Of Vij(?)nam(?)tra

Eupopean culture came into China seit modern times. How did man understand eupopean culture and civilisation? Could help us Buddhist wisdom (Prajna) which was assimilated by us in the past? So man studied Vijnanamatra-theory (唯识学) again. I carry on with the studiy of my seniors and select "Pravrtti-vijnana" (转识成智) as my theme in order to decide whether its principles are applied to our moral practice. Vijnaptimatratasiddhi-sastra(《成 唯识论》) , Trimsikavijnaptibhasya (《唯识三十论疏》) and so on are my objects. The treatise has five chapters.In the first chapter, I make inquiry about a transcendental method which though is from eupopean philosophy, can help me to understand and interpret Vijnanamatra-theory better and afford me reliabily methodical guarantee.In the second chapter, I make inquiry about Vijnana (识) and Atman (自我) of the early Buddhism (部派佛教) and of Vijnanamatra-theory. The former was psychological, the latter transcendentally phenomenological. I prove it to be right that Xuan-zang (玄奘) translated vijnaptimatra into Chinese "唯识" . I analyse Kui-ji's five-stratums vijnaptimatra (窥基之五重 唯识观) with Phenomenological Reduction.In the third chapter, I make inquiry about Prajfia (智) of the early Buddhism and Madhyamika(中观行派) in order to make sufficient and necessary preparations for the next deep studies.In the fouth chapter, I make inquiry about Pravrtti-vijfiana of Vijnanamatra (唯识之转识成智)which is a central party in the treatise. I point out Vijnanamatra-theory and Madhyamika-theoryare all very deeply speculative philosophy and they both are highly mutually complementary in their systems of theory. In the transcendental philosophy the former which always carried out vijfiaptimatra not only in theory but also in practice, was a transcendental idealism and the latter an a priori idealism.In the fifth chapter, I draw the conclusions from the aforementiones inquiries. I dispose of emphatically problem of the self, problem of Buddha-become, and of Buddha-caste and so on. In addition, the treatise has an appendix where I solve the problems and contradictions between Vijnaptimatratasiddhi-sastra andNeo-vijnaptimatra-theory ((Iff"ft\Ri￡))) .
