| Research Abstract |
This study investigates various trends in Buddhist thought from the late Tang to the early Northern Song, with respect to its relationship with contemporary Confucianism. Particularly in Qi-song's "Tan-jin wen-ji" and "Jia-zhu Fu-jiao bian", Northern Song Buddhist thinking attempted to syncretically assimilate Confucian ideas. Qi-song emphasized the contribution of Buddhism to society, citing the influence of the Buddhist promotion of virtue on good government, and the Buddhist vision of deeper dimensions of existence (xing-ming) providing deliverance from birth and death. This study therefore analyses his thought with respect to the categories "mind," (xin) "way" (dao) and "teaching," (jiao) and reveals his intellectual background, noting influences from the Middle-Tang Hua-yan school of Cheng-guan and Zong-mi (e.g. their Mind-only doctrine of the "Dharmadhatu of the One Mind" (yi-xin fa-jie). Together with Tian-tai, Hua-yan was popular in the states of Wu-yue during the Five Dynasties Period. On the other hand, contemporary Confucianism stressed the middle-way teachings of the 'Zhong-yong' and 'Huang-ji'. The present study uses the Zui-period scholar Wang Dong's "Zhong shuo" and its commentary by Yuan Yi, to investigate Qi-song's Confucian thinking which may also have been influenced by the teachings of Hu-Yuan and other scholars in Hu-zhou and Hang-zhou. Qi-song blazed a trail for later Buddhist apologetics, but his thinking seems to have developed from the Buddhism in Wu-yue, and its encounter there with the developing thought of Confucianism.
