520 $a This thesis gives an account of Yogacara Buddhist thought as presented in the works of Sthiramati, a leading sixth century thinker in the Yogacara tradition, along with a translation of his commentary on the Chapter on Enlightenment of the Mahayanasutralamkara. The thesis introduces Sthiramati's life and times, and discusses the authorship and authenticity of works attributed to him.
520 $a Sthiramati's viewpoint is placed in the overall context of Yogacara ontology. The thesis elucidates the fundamental categories of Yogacara ontology, giving an analysis of the three identities (trisvabhava) and their interrelationships, the connection between the three identities and the principle of representation-only (vijnaptimatra), and an account of basis-transformation (asrayparavrtti). This provides a philosophical foundation for interpreting the Yogacara concept of Buddhahood, bringing out the intrinsic link between ontological realization and soteriological attainment in the Yogacara system.
520 $a The thesis traces the Yogacara account of Buddhahood in both its essence and its manifestation: Buddhahood is shown as both the absolute ground of being and as the locus for innumerable pure qualities and forms of mastery through which enlightenment is communicated to ordinary sentient beings. In this connection, the thesis presents the Yogacara analysis of the Three Bodies of Buddha (Dharmakaya, the Truth-Body; Sambhogakaya, the Enjoyment-Body; Nirmanakaya, the Emanation-Body), which encompass both the essential being and the manifest functioning of Buddha. The three Budda-bodies are correlated with the four liberative wisdoms (jnana) of the Buddha (the Mirror-like Wisdom, the Equality Wisdom, the Analytical Wisdom, and the All-Accomplishing Wisdom). The thesis recounts the classic Yogacara discussion of the attributes of Buddhahood in terms of unity and multiplicity, and the nature and scope of Buddha's salvific activities.
520 $a The aims of the thesis are (1) to present Yogacara Buddhology in its own terms; (2) to clarify the conceptual structure of Yogacara Buddhology and the relationship in Yogacara thought between Buddha and the phenomenal world, and between Buddha and the minds of sentient beings; and (3) to facilitate cross-cultural comparisons between Buddha and concepts of the Absolute in other religious traditions by providing a reliable presentation of the ontological, epistemological, and soteriological aspects of Yogacara Buddhology.
