《解脫道論》「行處」與《清淨道論》「業處」之比較研究

This thesis studies the theories of Kammaṭṭhāna found in Vimuttimagga and Visuddhimagga. By comparing the two treatises, this thesis aims to clarify the structural changes incurred upon the theory of Kammaṭṭhāna during its development in Visuddhimagga from Vimuttimagga, and how the two contents vary. Firstly, from the structural perspective, the study finds that the 38 categories of Kammaṭṭhāna in Vimuttimagga acted as the base for Visuddhimagga (a prominent treatise of the school of Tāmraśāṭīya) and was expanded to 40 categories in the latter by Buddhaghosa. The adjustments made were identified to be in the structures of the ten kasiṇa and two arūpa.Secondly, from the perspective of the content, the common practices found in the two treatises were illustrated, followed by their main differences. Without going into details the results of the comparison study, some of the most important findings are given as follow. For example, while there are two types of Buddhānussati in Vimuttimagga, namely the “Buddhānussati of the early Buddhist tradition”(初期傳統之念佛) and the “Buddhānussati with Mahāyana tendency”(傾向大乘之念佛), only the first type remains in Visuddhimagga. Moreover, while there are three categories of Mettā Bhāvanā in Vimuttimagga, namely the “Mettā Bhāvanā practice of human and heavenly beings (人天修慈)”, “Mettā Bhāvanā practice of Sāvaka-pacceka yāna (二乘修慈) ”, and “Mettā Bhāvanā practice of bodhisatta (菩薩修慈)”, only the first category remains in Visuddhimagga, and so on.
