哲学研究

<正>自上世纪30年代,随着梵本《唯识三十颂》被法国人列维(Sylvain Levi)于尼泊尔发现以来,对古代译经大师如真谛、玄奘等汉译唯识学典籍的可靠性和权威性的怀疑,就一直没有停息过。引领这场论争的主要是一些欧洲学者,接着是二战之后的日本学者,国内学者的加入则始于上世纪80年代初。他们通过对梵、藏、汉本的对勘,发现汉译与梵本存有一些差异,因此断言玄奘等人那种"不加区分"、"混淆概念"甚至"误译",是造成千年来唯识学治学领域混乱的主要原因。有鉴于解读唯识基本概念对研究整个唯识学至关重要,笔者以为有必要透过语言分析和义理研判,对那些被误读了的梵文概念做必要的纠偏和厘清。

Vijnanavada is considered as the mainstream of Indian Buddhism after the Madhyamaka School flourished.In the academic circle of Vijnanavada,some modern scholars even doubt the Chinese term Weishi(consciousness-only)whether has been properly translated from the Sanskrit term Vijflapti-matra.In order to clarify the worth of the Chinese translation,we have studied and analyzed carefully the key concept of Vijflaptimatra and its connotation both linguistically and doctrinally from a perspective of the theory of asraya-paravrtti(transformation of the basis),and made the necessary corrections to those misinterpretations created by some modern scholars.Consequently,we have pointed out the rationality and reliability of Xuan Zang's translation.
