Cultural Philosophy of Buddhism Based on

prajJapti and abhilApavAsanA


-- Professor Lao Sze-kwangs Views as a
Starting Point of Discussion

Chao-shun Guo
Associate Professor
Department of Philosophy, Huafan University

Abstract
In general opinion, there is an inclination to negate the culture or
the world in Buddhism. Even though MadhyamIka announces all of
the beings are nothing but prajJapti (nameing), entity of being is
just a fantasy; vijJanavada use the theory of abhilApavAsanA of

AlayavijJana (force of naming will be accumulated unceasingly in the


AlayavijJana) to replenish it; but both keep the spirit of MahAyAna that
nirvana is not an ending but a process for practice; thus it is necessary

100

to reconsider the general opinion. In my opinion, the Buddhist cultural


philosophy can afford some special ideas to contribute the modern
cultural philosophy, especially on Buddhism does not suspect the
world or culture as real, that is why Buddhism is suspect as negative.
Professor Lao Sez-kwang has shown several models of western
cultural philosophy in his Lecture of Cultural Philosophy, but does not
discuss about the Buddhisms, he also claims the Buddhism has
negative spirit to culture and world in his work. Although, I do not
approve his judgment about Buddhism entirely, but I must admit his
analysis about Buddhism is very deep, and his discussion of cultural
philosophy is full of enlightenment for me. So this paper uses some
ideas of professor Lao to discuss Buddhist ideas, and tries to show the
peculiar view points of Buddhist cultural philosophy.
