ABSTRACT

This paper estimated the contents of Wonhyo’s “Reconciliation of Dispute in the Aspect of Seeds” in Reconciliation of Disputes in Ten Aspects which is not handed down in a complete form today. What has helped the paper do so much is the Seokwhaumkyobunki-wontongcho (釋 華嚴敎分記圓通抄), Daeseongkisinron-dongeeyakgip (大乘起信論同異略集) and the Discourse on the Theory of Consciousness-only (成唯識論). In the first section of ‘standpoint’, the three theories proclaim their basic position. The first theory states that there are only ‘the originally existed seeds’, and that they are only augmented by perfumation. According to the second theory, there are only ‘the newly perfumed seeds’, which are only achieved by perfumation. In addition, the third theory states that there are both ‘the originally existed seeds’ and ‘the newly perfumed seeds’. In the second section of ‘debate’, we can see the three theories attacks each others. The second theory refutes the relation between the 7 consciousnesses and the 8th consciousness. The first theory criticizes that the seeds of no agony will not be able to occur. The third theory debates the second theory saying, “There are not only the newly perfumed seeds but also the originally existed seeds.” In the third section of ‘conclusion’, Wonhyo decides that all the three theories are right. The reason is that the first theory is correct under the condition of taking the results according to the nature, that the second theory is right under the condition of taking the outcomes according to the function, and that the third theory is true under the condition of taking the consequences according to harmonizing the two factors.
