Topographic Map of Jinpyo’s Thought and its Two Lines of Succession : Focusing on the Contents of Zhancha Jing

In this article, I would like to reveal that Jinpyo's ideas are based on the contents of Zhancha jing, and that Maitreya ideology and esoteric elements were added to the contents of Zhancha jing. In Chapter 2, the contents of Zhancha jing are analyzed in three ways. First, it is an aspect of consciousness-only thought. In the Zhancha jing, it is said that all beings are minds, and it also suggests innately pure mind and tathāgatagarbha. And as a practice method, it refers to the contemplation of mind and consciousness-only and the contemplation of true thusness and reality. Those who lack ability must cultivate the contemplation of mind and consciousness-only, and those with great ability can cultivate the contemplation of true thusness and reality. Second, it is bodhisattva precepts ideology. Zhancha jing refers to the 10 fundamental precepts and three sets of pure precepts. Third, it is to predict good or bad fortune through wood wheel marks dharma. This consists of three stages. In Chapter 3, it is revealed that Jinpyo's thoughts are based on the three contents of Zhancha jing introduced earlier, but Jinpyo's thoughts are ideologically differentiated and have additional contents. In Jinpyo Jeon-gan of Samguk Yusa, the 8th ganja and 9th ganja are understood as the meaning of precepts, and in Gwandong Pungakbalyeonsuseokgi the 8th ganja and 9th ganja are understood initial enlightenment, original enlightenment, and newly perfumed seeds and seeds according to natural law, that is, are understood in the context of consciousness- only thought. This means that there was ideological differentiation among Jinpyo's thoughts, that is, there was a difference in whether to emphasize consciousness-only thought or the meaning of precepts. And since Jinpyo's ideology is based on the contents of Zhancha jing, it can be said to be a lineage of Dharma-character school, and is connected to Maitreya belief. Esoteric elements are also found in Jinpyo's thoughts, which are presumed to be intended to add ritual authority to wood wheel marks dharma.
