520 $a Through a close examination on three Sanskrit compounds---i.e., tathagatanairatmyagarbha, tathagatagarbhalayavijnana and parinis&dotbelow;pannasvabhavas tathagatagarbhahr&dotbelow;dayam---in the Lan&dot;kavatarasutra, this thesis will demonstrate how the tathagatagarbha thought in the Lankavatarasutra is significantly enriched by Yogacaric influence.
520 $a First, in regard to tathagata-nairatmya-garbha, a doctrinal review of the term "nairatmya" is necessary, because its definition differs according to different traditions. In primitive Buddhism, the term "nairatmya" is a synonym of the term "anatman" (non-existence of a substantial self), which indicates that in the realm of suffering and the impermanence of life phenomena that arise according to the principle of co-dependent origination/pratityasamutpada, no eternal and dependent atman can be found. According to the Madhyamaka School, the term "nairatmya" is a synonym of the term "nih&dotbelow;svabhava" (no intrinsic-nature) which implies that all beings, whether conditioned or unconditioned, are all devoid of an ever-abiding intrinsic nature. For the Yogacara School, the reality of nairatmya is said to be grasped under the principle of mind-only. That is to say, the imagined self/kalpitatman that is the presentation of mind is unreal, while the indescribable self/anabhilapyatman that is the genuine mind itself is real. Finally, it can be said that the tathagata-nairatmya-garbha in Lan&dot;kavatarasutra accords well with the Yogacara teaching. In other words, it is the Yogacaric sense of nairatmya that sheds an influence upon the tathagatagarbha doctrine.
520 $a Secondly, in regard to tathagatagarbhalayavijnana, a doctrinal development is promoted owing to the identification of tathagatagarbha with alayavijnana, which according to the Yogacara School is also named "sarvabjijavijnana" (cognition as the seed of everything). This latter synonym references its function of bringing forth all beings just as a giant tree originates from a seed. As a result of its identification with the alayavijnana, the tathagatagarbha is said to be endowed with the function of bringing forth all forms of existence and thus becomes the "producing cause" of all. This interpretation is not seen in earlier scriptures wherein the tathagatagarbha is described simply as a static substance supporting all beings.
520 $a Thirdly, in regard to parinis&dotbelow;pannasvabhavastathagatagarbhahr&dotbelow;dayam, the implication of the tathagatagarbha was expanded substantially by declaring that parinis&dotbelow;pannasvabhava" is the very essence of tathagatagarbha. The term "parinis&dotbelow;pannasvabhava" according to some important Yogacara texts is defined as tathata (ultimate realm of suchness). The combining of parinis&dotbelow;pannasvabhava with tathagatagarbha that had formerly focused on the subjective potential of realizing wisdom, shifts the doctrinal emphasis toward the objective realm of realized perfection.
520 $a This thesis reveals that, having assimilated the Yogacaric doctrine of dharmanairatmya, alayavijnana and parinis&dotbelow;pannasvabhava, the tathagatagarbha thinking in Lan&dot;kavatarasutra presents the comprehensive and distinctive features in comparison to the scriptures that preceded it.
