The general concept of Hinayana Buddhisma sprimitive Buddhism and Sectarian Buddhism has important value and significance for the later development of Buddhism.As the symbolic theory of Buddhism,pratitya-samutpada is an important part of Buddhism philosophy.Therefore,starting from law of dependent origination of the background,it is important to first understand the twelve nidnas of Hinayana Buddhism and the connotations of each branch,which will play an important role in correctly understanding the teachings of Buddhism.The twelve nidnas is the main philosophical system formed during the Sectarian Buddhism,and it is the main content of Hinayana Buddhism theory.It has an important basic role in the formation and development of the later Buddhism philosophy and pratitya-samutpada.The pratitya-samutpada of Hinayana Buddhism did not completion quickly.It was a process of continuous development.From the earliest three branch as the basis,afterwards,through the interdependence origination of each branch,four,five,seven,ten,etc.The final formation of twelve nidnas.As a branch of the twelve nidnas,thirst support has played an important role in the formation and development of the origination law.As the direct source of bitterness,it first appeared in the law of touch-feeling-thirst three branches.On this basis,the four-point initiation method of adding or subtracting expenses or entering six sense organs was also developed on the basis of thirst.In the Five Origins Act,thirst is still a direct source of suffering,and it has an important influence.However,with the continuous improvement of the ideology system,this influence is gradually hidden in the origination method,which causes the branches to interlink and interdependent,and eventually develops the Twelve Origins as an important theoretical system in Buddhism."Love," as human nature,is an emotion that is hidden in people's minds and has always existed.However,precisely because of its influence on people's behavior as a kind of thought and emotion,the concept of opposition in Buddhism has been severely criticized.The word "love" in Buddhism is the same as the thirst branch in The twelve nidnas.In Hinayana Buddhism,this type of thirst that created lust,trsna,or sexual desire was called "klistatrsna" and "klistatrsna" will affect people's behavior,causing them to cause evil karma,resulting in many conflicts,so that people will continue to samsara in pain and not be relieved.There are two main reasons for the "klistatrsna" in the Hinayana Buddhist classics.On the one hand,it is due to the role of the six roots,and on the other hand,it is due to erotic feeling.Through the direct contact with foreign objects,the six roots produce a sense of what they see,thus enabling people to have emotions such as their happy and desires.They erotic feeling to be part of people's thoughts and make people directly produce emotions such as desire and trsna.At the same time,"klistatrsna" as an important content that Hinayana Buddhism has always opposed,is divided into two categories:trsna and kama-trsna.For kama-trsna is mainly refers to the pursuit of emotions between people,mainly in the family,love,friendship and many other aspects,but trsna is mainly reflected in the mortal nature of property,such as property and the pursuit of specific things.However,in Hinayana Buddhism,the distinction between the two specific connotations was not very clear,but in the period of Sectarian Buddhism,the connotation of trsna changed,mainly in the three poisons of greed?hatred and stupidity,making it distinct from kama-trsna.The reason why early Buddhism called "klistatrsna" was mainly due to its numerous dangers to sattva and Bhiksu.For the sattva,it is because of their lust for these emotions that they are afflicted,constantly struggle in pain,and suffer their own cycle of suffering.For Bhiksu,the existence of "klistatrsna" not only makes it impossible to maintain a pure inner heart,but also causes obsession and longing for Bhiksu,and ultimately it cannot be relieved.It is a stumbling block to the escape of Bhiksu.In response to these hazards,Buddhism believes that it will be eventually terminated in two ways.In terms of ideology,we must always maintain our wisdom and righteous thoughts,use wisdom to completely contain such thoughts,and thus we must break them down.Actually,Buddhism requires Bhiksu and sattva to use vinaya,and will severely punish the precepts they commit,such as lust,in order to completely dismantle the actions that they desire to perform."klistatrsna" as a concept proposed by Hinayana Buddhism has always been a focus of research.In the Buddhist classics such as the Set and Samyuktagama-sutra,they are constantly mentioned.At the same time,as a direct source of suffering,the direct method of eliminating suffering can also be excavated.Therefore,a correct understanding of the connotation of "klistatrsna" is of great value and significance to the study of the Hinayana Buddhist ideals and the twelve nidnas,and even the vinaya.
