Daojiao yishu 道教義樞is a major work of early Tang Daoist religious doctrine. It not only covers many important Daoist religious doctrines but also reflects the period’s characteristic emphasis on metaphysics. It also shows traces of the influence of Buddhist doctrine and reveals clues as to how the assimilation of Buddhist doctrine changed Daoist religious thought. One cannot ignore the role of the Buddha-Nature doctrine as a catalyst for the emergence of Dao-Nature theory. It offered a new way to interpret the basis for Dao cultivation, which gradually brought about a transformation of the practice in religious Daoism. This paper focuses on Dao-Nature theory in Daojiao yishu, exploring the topics “from natural Dao-Nature, to purified original nature,” “Dao-Nature, without cause and effect,” and “the Dao-Nature of fruit, stone, and vegetation.” An examination of the interface between thought and doctrine helps to clarify the course of Dao-Nature’s theoretical formation and doctrinal development, while identifying the transitional points in this process. This paper reveals an important aspect of the exchange of Buddhist and Daoist doctrinal ideas from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties: in addition to debate, it also triggered active doctrinal transplantation and development. |
