AB - Wonhyo(618~686) reveals transcending the two extremes like existence and non existence through implicative negation(paryudāsa-pratiṣedha) and apoha while intersecting negation and affirmation. The paradoxical expression of 'the road without road' in Commentary on the Sūtra of the Primary Activities of Bodhisattvas, or greatly being as such by not being as such in the Exposition of the Sūtra on the Adamantine Absorption have many things in common with the theory of positve apoha in the latter part of Indian Buddhism. Yet, Wonhyo's approach shows peculiarity in deducing absolute affirmation through enlarging the denotation with negative determiner. It also shows the characteristics of anyayogavyavaccheda and the theory of negative and affirmative apoha.
Further, the method of transforming negation into affirmation seems to reveal the connotation which enlarges the meaning into an endless affirmation. It is based on the thought that the particular like a certain road can not be expressed at the particular level so that the expression like 'the road without not being a road' manifests itself through excluding the meaning which does not contain the features of 'the road without being a road.' Likewise, while enlarging the meaning into 'greatly being as such' through the negative expression of 'not being as such', it denotes not just sticking to this expression.
In this aspect, Wonhyo's apoha shares some features in common with implicative negation which implies positive connotation, based on its method of enlarging the implication of affirmation into its infinity through exclusion of meaning.
