The main research object of this article is the ideology of Ouyang Jingwu,Lv Cheng,Han Qingjing,and Taixu,the four representative figures of modern Consciousness-Only,divided their Consciousness-Only research on philosophy into four "paths" in philosophy,history,semantics,and religion.Through an in-depth analysis of the four research methods and the thoughts of the Consciousness-Only theory of knowledge,efforts were made to reveal the methodology and academic characteristics of the four research approaches,and based on the evaluation of "orientation" in the study of Buddhist doctrine,it is hoped to arouse the academic circle's re-understanding of their Consciousness-Only thinking and academic methods,and provide a new way of thinking for the development of Chinese Buddhist doctrine in the future.This article is divided into seven chapters:The first chapter first analyzes the background of the revival of modern Consciousness-Only,and sorts out the causes and manifestations of the decline of modern Chinese Buddhism.In the midst of recent crises,the Buddhist world has begun to seek innovation.The establishment of various Buddhist colleges,the publication of Buddhist journals,and the creation of the Sutras have created good conditions for the revitalization of modern Buddhist scholarship.Stimulated by a variety of internal and external factors,Consciousness-Only has become an obvious science in modern Buddhist studies.In addition,Yang Wenhui,as the father of the revival of modern Buddhism,initiated the Buddhist undertakings such as scripture writing and running a school,which laid a solid foundation for the revival of modern Consciousness-Only in terms of organization,literature,and talents.The second chapter analyzes the process of paradigm construction in the context of modern academic transformation and paradigm shift in modern Chinese modern learning with reference to western academic branches.It is pointed out that the revival of modern knowledge only is actually the process of constructing the paradigms of Chinese and western new and old paradigms through mutual competition and dialogue.According to the research methods and academic characteristics of its representatives,this paper divides the study of modern Consciousness-Only into four approaches..The third chapter studies the approach of philosophical research Consciousness-Only represented by Ouyang Jingwu.Analyzes his academic spirit and research methodology,and elaborates on his important Consciousness-Only thoughts according to the framework of "Discussion on the Choice of Intellectuals",and analyzes in detail his legal aspects,the theory of Consciousness-Only division,the theory of genre use,In theory,and a critique of traditional Chinese Buddhism.The fourth chapter studies the historical approach of the philosophical research represented by Lv Cheng.Analyzed Lu Ye's research methods of academic history and thought history,It mainly discusses the important research results of his disciplinary analysis such as distinguishing and understanding of modern and ancient Consciousness-Only learning,the relationship between Consciousness-Only and Mahayana&Hinayana Dharma Buddhism,discrimination of the Consciousness-Only names,basic problems of Buddhism,The dispute between the silence of buddha-nature and the awareness of buddha-nature,and so on.The fifth chapter studies the religious approach of the Consciousness-Only study represented by Taixu.Taixu is a rare scholar based on internal experience in modern Buddhism.He is a discerning scholar who blends modern scholarship from a Buddhist standpoint.This chapter focuses on the analysis of his three systems and three sects theory,the ideological system of Consciousness-Only theory,the Consciousness-Only conception,and the criticism of Ouyang Jingwu's theory of division theory.The sixth chapter studies the semantic approach of philosophical research represented by Han Qingjing.At the beginning of his administration of Buddhism,Han Qingjing established the exegesis of Buddhism research method in chapters and sentences.His "Holy Classics Theory" tended to make him a purely intellectual scholar.This chapter focuses on his three-period judgment teaching,as well as the core ideological ideas such as Consciousness-Only view and Bh?tatathat? view.The The last chapter concludes the influence of the requirements of the modernity transformation on the study of modern Consciousness-Only,and analyzes the gain and loss of the four approaches from the perspective of orientation and points out that the transformation of modernity has changed the academic form of traditional buddhist philosophical research.This is a problem to be paid special attention to in the future study of buddhist doctrines.
