- 요약Various forms of Buddhist modernism, Buddhist naturalism and Secular Buddhism most of all, tapping into our often unspoken immanent intuitions, tell us that the question for contemporary Buddhism is whether the elimination of suffering, the raison d'etre of the path, is an immanent internal psychological transformation accomplished in this life or, as many premodern Buddhist texts would have it, a transcendence of this body and life. So construed, the choice is between an empirically credible Buddhism of this world and the transcendence-bound orientations of Buddhist texts. In this dissertation, engaging with the perspectives of Buddhist modernism, I show that presenting the issue in this way profoundly misrepresents what the choices are for contemporary Buddhist practice.What I show is that this apparent dilemma between immanent and transcendent interpretations assumes that the problem of suffering has a straightforward solution: whether an immanent psychological transformation or a transcendence of conditioning, the assumption is that there is suffering which, upon attaining nirvaṇa, is eliminated. Through taking a panoramic view of Indian and Tibetan soteriological debates, from the Abhidharmakosa, the Abhisamayalaṃkara, and the writings of Candrakirti up to the commentaries of later Tibetan Sakya scholars, I show how this is precisely the sort of assumption that a great deal of Mahayana reflection was intended to uproot. Perhaps in lieu of seeking a technique to eliminate suffering; the solution is to see that there never was any suffering to be eliminated. This is the real question at the heart of many of the most influential strands of Buddhist soteriological reflection. What this means is that our reflections on what is to be the goal of Buddhist practice must above all else grapple with this question of whether freedom from suffering is about letting go of the notion that there is any suffering in the first place. The upshot is that the real choice for contemporary Buddhist philosophy and practice is not whether to embrace a purified and more empirically robust set of beliefs but, rather, whether we want to transcend even the frameworks within which there is a problem, a solution, and a path.
