The"Sukhavih?raparivarta?"(SVP)finally entered the rankings of"the most important Four chapters"along with the Lotus Sutra's spreadfarandwide in China,as well as the development of the Chinese Buddhist sects.On the basis of this chapter,many patriarchs and disciples of Tiantai sect enlighten the"Fahua Samadhi",and other sects have also attached great importance to it.In the author's opinion,it is very necessary to make a thorough study on this chapter for its importance,richness of the literature,theoretical composition and theoretical characteristics.After sorting out the research summary,seven questions are put forward.The author responds from aspects of theory and practice.On the aspect of theory,it mainly revolves around specific scriptures,including:(1)fix on three key words:sukha,?c?ra and gocara,and carry out the reconnaissance of the Sanskrit;(2)divide the content into three parts,the four dharmas,metaphor of Bright pearl of the sage king,and then summarize;(3)the status of the chapter in the25 kinds of structure divisions in history.On the aspect of practice,it is mainly discussed from the perspective of"Bodhisattva Practice"(BP),including:(1)show the two different choices in the Lotus Sutra of Chinese in the SUI dynasty though comparison and analysis the BP of An-le-xing and Chang-bu-qing,and initiate us to think about the question of choice of Buddhism.(2)The discussion of the ideological origin of Master Hui Si's"youxiangxing"and"wuxiangxing"and the analysis of his 42 Bodhisattva's rank view lead to the discussion of his thought of Perfect Doctrine.(3)Analyzes the theoretical construction and practice of five BP of Master Hui Si,and discusses the Enlightenment of the transformation of Chinese Buddhism from Urban Buddhism to Mountain Buddhism.(4)The theoretical construction and practice of the cultivation method,which was established by the Tiantai Master Zhi Zhe and summarized as the Practice An-Le-Xing.In the introduction,the author first discusses the meaning of Sanskrit"sukha"in religious culture of India.Astimegoes on,its meaning change as Pyramid style,from the originally the states of laymen and monks or nuns in literary works of history,to the state of Arhat in the Pali Buddhist scriptures,and to the especially state of"Nirvana"in Mahayana Buddhism.The realm of meaning gradually became sacred and became the highest state in Buddhism.This also illustrates the importance of this study.Secondly,by summarizing the literature research,seven questions are put forward,and the research ideas and innovations are expounded.The 1stchapter of the paper is mainly composed of three parts.First,the author introduces the three Chinese translation versions of the Lotus Sutra and the translator.Secondly,this article carry out the reconnaissance of the Sanskrit word?c?ra,and point out that its meaning is so rich that it's a complex of“?c?ra”of Pali Buddhism Scripture,“Bodhisattva?c?ra”of the Six Part of Prajnaparamita Sutra and“Bodhisattva mahasattva?c?ra”of the Manjusri Prajnaparamita Sutra,which provides the theoretical and practical basis for the practice of the Mahayana Bodhisattva practice.Third,this article carry out the reconnaissance of the Sanskrit word gocara,and point out that the similarity between the“?c?ra”and“gocara”lies in their meanings joint entry the Prajnaparamita at last,and this mekes the two key words of the core doctrine of"the First Dharma of Anlexing"in the whole SVP.After that,the author confirm the identity of"the Bodhisattva of Anlexing"as a"bhikkhu Bodhisattva",and analyzes the relationship between"the four Dharmas of Anlexing"and"the Tolerance of paramita".The 2ndchapter discusses 25 kinds of structure divisions in history,and the different seats of SVP in the structures.First,the author makes a comprehensivelyanalyse on the Tripitakain Han and finds out 25 kinds of structure divisions(SD)convicted by 21monks,and to divide them into 5 categories by using the idea of Differentiationand Analysis of Master Ji Zang.Secondly,the author analyzes the seat of SVP in the 25 kinds of SD,and focus on 2 issues:who is the real audience of SVP?as well as what is the real benefit of carrying out of this approach?The views of the great ancient monks precisely reflects the practical significance of the SVP.The 3rdchapter discussed four questions around the three parts of the SVP,the Four Dharmas,Metaphor of Bright Pearl of the Sage King,Good Dreams:(1)the rheology of the name of the four dharmas;(2)the rheology of theory and practice of the"Fahua Samadhi";(3)the Metaphor of three Bright Pearl of the Lotus Sutra and the thought of SVP;(4)the rheology of the application of dream in Buddhism.It presents the main body of the thought of SVP and its status in the whole Buddhist scriptures.The 4thchapter focuses on the different choices about two kinds of Bodhisattva Practice(BP)in the dynasty of Sui and Tang.For the An-le-xing and Chang-bu-qing BP,There are many differences and similarities between them.Ancient Chinese Tiantai Sect and the Sanjie Sect,under their own unique realistic background,they all made the doctrinal interpretation and practice of choice,which became the typical portrayal and epitome of the development of Buddhism in both Sects.Which is the best principle for the choice of BP?is to adopt the concept of“Fully Inclusive and Equitable”of Tiantai Sect,the concept of"Choose and Excludes”of Sanjie Sect,it is related to the propositions of the applicability,eternity,and the judgement of"right or evil"for a sect.The 5thchapter discusses the first and most important advocate and practitioner of the SVP Master Hui Si's thought of the Perfect Doctrine:(1)the old theory of the four origins of"Youxiang and Wuxiang Practice",and also put forward two new sources of origin,which may be"5 kinds of Bodhisattvas"and"7 kinds of Mahayana sages".(2)the view of“forty-two order of Bodhisattva”,which most embodies his thought of"Wuxiang Practice",and the inheriting development of the Master Zhizhe.The 6th chapter discusses the five kinds of Bodhisattva Practice of Master Hui Si and the influence on the history of Chinese Buddhism.In the process of mutual promotion and common growth,Sangha Buddhism and Lay Buddhism have also produced some tension.Its focus is on the understanding of the relationship between"Bodhisattva and Sensual Pleasures".In the period of Chen and Sui Dynasty,Master Hui-Si,the third ancestor of Tiantai Section,based on Monk Bodhisattva perspective,innovatively integrated 5 kinds of Bodhisattva Practice(BP)and explored a month of"Monk Bodhisattva——to barrenness in sensual pleasures-to prove the state of six roots of sensations are pure and clean"which not only help himself understanding the Samadhi of Fahua and creating the BP of"Peace and Pleasant",also enlightened the transition of Chinese Buddhism to"Mountain Buddhism".The 7thchapter briefly introduces the method and theory construction of the Master of Zhizhe,who was the 4thPatriarch and the real founder of Tiantai Sect.And then give a detailed anasys of 11 aspects including:(1)the manager structure of the temple,(2)the man of practice,(3)the practice content,(4)the ideological basis,(5)the practice choice,(6)the practice target,(7)the practice method,(8)the theory of practice,(9)the theory of the relationship between the 6 perfections,(10)the The highest state,(11)the general summary.Secondly,it is discussed the theory of SVP's BP of the Master Zhizhe,who built up the thought of his SVP for the Humanistic Buddhism,It is the inheritance and development of the Lotus Sutra,the modern interpretation of Buddha's teachings,and the practice of contemporary in right opportunity.It opens the prelude of the"Humanistic Buddhism”in the Dynasty of Chen and Sui.There are three points of significance in this study:(1)Content innovation.Their is very little study on SVP in modern Buddhism,not to mention the comprehensive analysis.(2)Path innovation.Find out the"two vertical and two horizontal"Buddhist scriptures analysis path.The 1stvertical,along the"India-China-Japan"three countries,and three languages as Pali,Sanskrit and Chinese,representing the India Hinayana Sectarian Buddhism,India Mahayana Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism.The 2ndvertical,from ancient times to the present series,analyzes the annotation and annotation of the Buddhist Scripture in China by the great monks.The 1sthorizontal section is to divide the scriptures of SVP into three parts,including the Four dharmas,Metaphor of Bright Pearl of the Sage King,Good Dreams.The 2ndvertical,put the SVP in the whole Tripitaka in Han.(3)Angle innovation innovation.The author always maintains an analytical perspective of"Rheology".Rheology,that is,fashion and change,includes the whole process of emergence,change and development.Buddhism is a belief in advocating and pursuing"wisdom".In Buddhism more than two thousand years of development process,it has the"right opportunity deeds"as amission statement to the fundamental principle.The analytical perspective of"rheology"is accord with Buddhism itself,and is also accord with reality.On the whole,this paper validates the way the Masters Zhi Zhe of Sui Dynasty understood and interpreted the Buddhist scriptures,and tried to establish the perspective of"Rheology"of understanding and interpretation of Buddhist scriptures.On this basis,this paper sums up the influence of SVP on Chinese Buddhism,which can be summarized into three aspects:(1)SVP has inspired the complete route of the interpretation of Indian Buddhism in China,from the annotation of classics to the establishment of practice,and finally to the establishment of sect,with Tiantai Sect as one of the best practices.(2)SVP‘s main ideas of“Based on precepts,Prajna wisdom runs through”shows an ideal personality and practice method of the Mahayana Buddhism practitioners,which plays an important role in the historical process of the communication and development of Buddhism.Even in the era of globalization,it has very important enlightening significance for us.(3)SVP provides the most original and important ideal basis for the transformation of"Mountain Buddhism".The innovative interpretation of this product in the Chen Sui period helped monks and lay people establish a common guiding principle of interpersonal relationship.If it is said that escaping into the mountain forest is a negative response,then the"four Dharma SVP"plays a positive role in regulating.
