印度瑜伽行派唯识学缘起思想之特质

The Nature of the Thought of Dependent Origination in the Yogacara School of Indian Buddhism

印度瑜伽行派唯识学的缘起理论具有四个与印度佛教其他派别缘起思想不共的特质,即缘起的因果平等性、缘起的唯心性、缘起的俱时性、缘起的整体性,不论有为依唯识思想还是无为依唯识思想在这方面皆是如此。但由于唯识学的此二分型在本体论方面相异,对此四特质的说明自然会有所不同。

The theory of Dependent Origination in the Yogacara school of Indian Buddhism possesses four kinds of characteristics that are different from the thought of Dependent Origination of other Indian Buddhist Schools. This refers to the nature of equality of causes and effects of Dependent Origination, the nature of consciousness--only of Dependent Origination, the nature of simultaneous arising of Dependent Origination,, and the holistic nature of Dependent Origination. Both of the theories of Consciousness-only whether in action or in no-action hold the same view in terms of these four characteristics. However, there are different explications of those four characteristics because of different understanding of the noumenon hold by these two theories.
