바르도(Bardo)는 불교에서 사유(死有)에서 생유(生有)로 이어지는 중간적 존재인 중유(中有, antarabhāva)를 말한다. 중음(中陰), 중간계(中間界)라고도 번역한다. 바르도는 티벳 불교의 용어이다.

설명[편집]

바르도 퇴돌이란 티벳 불경이 전세계적으로 유명하다. 1927년 월터 에바스베트 (en:Walter Evans-Wentz) 에 의해 "Tibetan Book of the Dead"라는 타이틀로 영역되어 세계적인 베스트셀러가 되어, 일본에서도 일반적으로 《티베트 사자의 서》로서 알려져 있다.[1]

불교 명상[편집]

불교에서 명상은 사마타와 위빠사나의 둘로 이루어져 있다.

처음에 앉거나 눕거나 서서 또는 걸으면서 사마타 명상을 하여 고요함, 공, 적멸, 번뇌를 제거함에 빠진다. 그렇게 한동안 고요해지면 곧 꿈을 꾸게 되는데, 다른 말로 정신세계에 태어난다고 하고, 정신현상이 일어나기 시작한다고도 하고, 명상 중간계에 태어난다고도 하며, 간단히 중간계에 태어난다고도 한다. 그러면 사마타 명상을 멈추고 위빠사나 명상을 시작한다. 그래서 모든 불순한 것을 순수한 것으로 변신시키는 상상을 하여, 이 상상이 성취되면 금강삼매를 얻었다고 하며, 이를 부처가 되었다고 한다.

금강삼매란 세상의 모든 만물을 금강, 즉 다이아몬드로 변신시킨다고 해서 이름이 금강삼매이다. 유마경에서 모든 불국토를 청정하게 변신시켜, 금은보화로 장엄하는 대신통력이라고 나온다. 이 대신통력은 오직 부처님만이 얻으며, 반대로 이 대신통력을 얻으면 부처라고 열반경에서 설명한다. 티베트 사자의 서에서도 이 금강삼매를 자세하게 가르치고 있다.

사십구재[편집]

<nowiki />이 부분의 본문은 사십구재입니다.

불경에서 설한 바에 의하면 사람의 존재 상태를 4가지로 구분하는데, 그것은 ① 생유(生有) ② 사유(死有) ③ 본유(本有: 生에서 死까지 생애) ④ 중유(中有: 이생에 죽어서 다음 生까지를 말함)이다.[2]

이들 중 네 번째의 중유(中有)의 상태의 정상적인 기간이 49일이다.[2] 즉 사람이 죽은 뒤에는 일반적인 경우 49일이면 중유(中有)가 끝나고 다음 생(生)이 결정된다.[2] 그러므로 다음 생이 결정되기 전인 48일째에 정성을 다하여 영혼의 명복을 비는 것이 49일재이다.[2]

세가지 의미[편집]

중간계 라는 말은 적어도 3가지 의미로 쓰인다. 그래서 약간 혼동될 우려가 있다.[3]

  • 죽음에서 재탄생에 이르는 전 과정, 가장 일상적인 의미, 여섯 중간계 중에서 죽음 중간계, 저승 중간계, 탄생 중간계
  • 여섯 중간계, 전문적인 의미
  • 여섯 중간계 중에서 어떤 특정한 시기에 경험하게 되는 특정한 중간계 상태

여섯 중간계[편집]

티벳 사람들은 중간계를 다음과 여섯 가지로 분류한다.[4]

  • 이승 중간계: 탄생과 죽음 사이의 중간계
  • 꿈 중간계: 잠과 깨어 있음 사이의 중간계
  • 명상 중간계: 깨어 있음과 초월 사이의 중간계
  • 죽음 중간계: 죽음 직후의 중간계
  • 저승 중간계: 죽음과 재탄생 사이의 중간계
  • 탄생 중간계: 태어나기 직전과 태어나는 순간 사이의 중간계

中陰

ナビゲーションに移動検索に移動

中陰（ちゅういん、梵: antarā-bhava[1], 蔵: bar do[2]）あるいは中有(ちゅうう)[3]は、仏教において有情が生と死を繰り返し流転する過程を四有（4種の生存）に分けるうちで、前世の死の瞬間（死有（しう））から次の世に生を受ける刹那（生有（しょうう））までの時期における幽体とでもいうべきもの[1]。または、そのような状態である期間[4]。

原語と漢訳[編集]

死者が今生と後生の中間にいるためantarā（中間の）bhava（生存状態）という。

概説[編集]

中陰は、意から生じて意から成り立っている化生（けしょう）の身（意生身）であり、精子と卵子などから生じたもの(胎生、卵生)ではない[1]。求生（ぐしょう）、起（き）、乾闥婆（けんだつば、梵: gandharva）（八部衆を参照）とも称される[1]。また、乾闥婆が香りのみを食物とするので、食香（じきこう）とも訳される[5]。

インド仏教の主流派であり、北伝仏教に大きな影響を与えた説一切有部では、輪廻における元の生と次の生とのあいだに中間的な存在としての中陰の期間があり、その次に五道中のどの世界に生まれ変わるかが決まると考えられていた。

一方で中陰はインド仏教における通説ではなく、説一切有部の他には正量部において主張され、上座部、化地部、大衆部、一説部、説出世部では否定されていた[6]。

中陰の期間には、7日、49日、無限定などいくつもの説がある[5]。死後7日ごとに法要を営み、四十九日を満中陰とするのもそれらの説に基づいて起こった習慣である[5]（中陰法要や中陰壇も参照）。

十王信仰と中陰[編集]

この中陰の期間中に審判があり、閻魔大王によって生前の罪が裁かれると考えられた。罪が重いと地獄に落とされるが、遺族が中陰法要を行い、追善の功徳を故人に廻向すると赦される。それが7日毎に行う法要である。中国では閻魔王の他に9人の裁判官が追加され、彼らが死者を裁くとされた。 後に日本にも伝わり、鎌倉時代になると『地蔵十王経』が作られ、死者への裁きは一度でなく、中陰期間の7日ごとと100ヶ日、一周忌、三回忌に10人の王によって10回の裁きがあるとされ[7]、宗旨によって様々な考え方に別れた。また四週目と五週目の法要の間に、最初の月命日が来る。

宗派ごとの扱い[編集]

上座部仏教は生まれ変わりの中間となる期間は必要ないと考え、中陰の存在を否定している。浄土真宗では、故人は阿弥陀仏の本願力によって臨終と同時に極楽浄土に往生すると考えるので、中陰は、故人を通して求法の生活をする期間である。

Bardo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
For other uses, see Bardo (disambiguation).
Tibetan illustration of the Peaceful and Wrathful Deities of the post-mortem intermediate state (bardo). Some Tibetan Buddhists hold that when a being goes through the intermediate state, they will have visions of various deities.

In some schools of Buddhism, bardo (Classical Tibetan: བར་དོ་ Wylie: bar do) or antarābhava (Sanskrit, Chinese and Japanese: 中有, romanized in Chinese as zhōng yǒu and in Japanese as chūu)[1] is an intermediate, transitional, or liminal state between death and rebirth. 

The concept arose soon after Gautama Buddha's death, with a number of earlier Buddhist schools accepting the existence of such an intermediate state, while other schools rejected it. The concept of antarābhava, an intervening state between death and rebirth, was brought into Buddhism from the Vedic-Upanishadic (later Hindu) philosophical tradition.[2][3] 

Later Buddhism expanded the bardo concept to six or more states of consciousness covering every stage of life and death.[4] 

In Tibetan Buddhism, bardo is the central theme of the Bardo Thodol (literally Liberation Through Hearing During the Intermediate State), the Tibetan Book of the Dead, a text intended to both guide the recently deceased person through the death bardo to gain a better rebirth and also to help their loved ones with the grieving process.[5]

Used without qualification, "bardo" is the state of existence intermediate between two lives on earth. According to Tibetan tradition, after death and before one's next birth, when one's consciousness is not connected with a physical body, one experiences a variety of phenomena. These usually follow a particular sequence of degeneration from, just after death, the clearest experiences of reality of which one is spiritually capable, and then proceeding to terrifying hallucinations that arise from the impulses of one's previous unskillful actions. For the prepared and appropriately trained individuals, the bardo offers a state of great opportunity for liberation, since transcendental insight may arise with the direct experience of reality; for others, it can become a place of danger as the karmically created hallucinations can impel one into a less than desirable rebirth.[citation needed]

Metaphorically, bardo can describe times when our usual way of life becomes suspended, as, for example, during a period of illness or during a meditation retreat. Such times can prove fruitful for spiritual progress because external constraints diminish. However, they can also present challenges because our less skillful impulses may come to the foreground, just as in the sidpa bardo.[citation needed]

Intermediate state in Indian Buddhism[edit source]

From the records of early Buddhist schools, it appears that at least six different groups accepted the notion of an intermediate existence (antarabhāva), namely, the Sarvāstivāda, Darṣṭāntika, Vātsīputrīyas, Saṃmitīya, Pūrvaśaila and late Mahīśāsaka. The first four of these are closely related schools. Opposing them were the Mahāsāṃghika, early Mahīśāsaka, Theravāda, Vibhajyavāda and the Śāriputrābhidharma (possibly Dharmagupta).[6]

Some of the earliest references we have to the “intermediate existence” are to be found in the Sarvāstivādin text the Mahāvibhāṣa (阿毘達磨大毘婆沙論). For instance, the Mahāvibhāṣa indicates a “basic existence” (本有), an “intermediate existence” (中有), a “birth existence” (生有) and “death existence” (死有) (CBETA, T27, no. 1545, p. 959, etc.). André Bareau's Les sectes bouddhiques du Petit Véhicule provides the arguments of the Sarvāstivāda schools as follows:[7]

The intermediate being who makes the passage in this way from one existence to the next is formed, like every living being, of the five aggregates (skandha). His existence is demonstrated by the fact that it cannot have any discontinuity in time and space between the place and moment of death and those of rebirth, and therefore it must be that the two existences belonging to the same series are linked in time and space by an intermediate stage. The intermediate being is the Gandharva, the presence of which is as necessary at conception as the fecundity and union of the parents. Furthermore, the Antarāparinirvāyin is an Anāgamin who obtains parinirvāṇa during the intermediary existence. As for the heinous criminal guilty of one of the five crimes without interval (ānantarya), he passes in quite the same way by an intermediate existence at the end of which he is reborn necessarily in hell.

Deriving from a later period of the same school, though with some differences, Vasubandhu’s Abhidharmakośa explains (English trs. p. 383ff):

What is an intermediate being, and an intermediate existence? Intermediate existence, which inserts itself between existence at death and existence at birth, not having arrived at the location where it should go, cannot be said to be born. Between death—that is, the five skandhas of the moment of death—and arising—that is, the five skandhas of the moment of rebirth—there is found an existence—a "body" of five skandhas—that goes to the place of rebirth. This existence between two realms of rebirth (gatī) is called intermediate existence.

He cites a number of texts and examples to defend the notion against other schools which reject it and claim that death in one life is immediately followed by rebirth in the next, without any intermediate state in between the two. Both the Mahāvibhāṣa and the Abhidharmakośa have the notion of the intermediate state lasting "seven times seven days" (i.e. 49 days) at most. This is one view, though, and there were also others.

Similar arguments were also used in Harivarman’s *Satyasiddhi Śāstra, and the Upadeśa commentary on the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras, both of which have strong influence from the Sarvāstivāda school. Both of these texts had powerful influence in Chinese Buddhism, which also accepts this idea as a rule.

The Saddharma-smṛty-upasthāna Sūtra (正法念處經) classifies 17 intermediate states with different experiences.[8]

History and overview

Fremantle (2001) states that there are six traditional bardo states known as the Six Bardos: the Bardo of This Life (p. 55); the Bardo of Meditation (p. 58); the Bardo of Dream (p. 62); the Bardo of Dying (p. 64); the Bardo of Dharmata (p. 65); and the Bardo of Existence (p. 66).[9]

Shugchang, et al. (2000: p. 5) discuss the Zhitro (Tibetan: Zhi-khro) cycle of teachings of Karma Lingpa which includes the Bardo Thodol and list the Six Bardo: "The first bardo begins when we take birth and endures as long as we live. The second is the bardo of dreams. The third is the bardo of concentration or meditation. The fourth occurs at the moment of death. The fifth is known as the bardo of the luminosity of the true nature. The sixth is called the bardo of transmigration or karmic becoming.[10]

  1. Kyenay bardo (skye gnas bar do) is the first bardo of birth and life. This bardo commences from conception until the last breath, when the mindstream withdraws from the body.
  2. Milam bardo (rmi lam bar do) is the second bardo of the dream state. The Milam Bardo is a subset of the first Bardo. Dream Yoga develops practices to integrate the dream state into Buddhist sadhana.
  3. Samten bardo (bsam gtan bar do) is the third bardo of meditation. This bardo is generally only experienced by meditators, though individuals may have spontaneous experience of it. Samten Bardo is a subset of the Shinay Bardo.
  4. Chikhai bardo ('chi kha'i bar do) is the fourth bardo of the moment of death. According to tradition, this bardo is held to commence when the outer and inner signs presage that the onset of death is nigh, and continues through the dissolution or transmutation of the Mahabhuta until the external and internal breath has completed.
  5. Chönyi bardo (chos nyid bar do) is the fifth bardo of the luminosity of the true nature which commences after the final 'inner breath' (Sanskrit: prana, vayu; Tibetan: rlung). It is within this Bardo that visions and auditory phenomena occur. In the Dzogchen teachings, these are known as the spontaneously manifesting Tögal (Tibetan: thod-rgyal) visions. Concomitant to these visions, there is a welling of profound peace and pristine awareness. Sentient beings who have not practiced during their lived experience and/or who do not recognize the clear light (Tibetan: od gsal) at the moment of death are usually deluded throughout the fifth bardo of luminosity.
  6. Sidpa bardo (srid pa bar do) is the sixth bardo of becoming or transmigration. This bardo endures until the inner-breath commences in the new transmigrating form determined by the "karmic seeds" within the storehouse consciousness.

History[edit source]

Fremantle (2001: p. 53–54) charts the development of the bardo concept through the Himalayan tradition:

Originally bardo referred only to the period between one life and the next, and this is still its normal meaning when it is mentioned without any qualification. There was considerable dispute over this theory during the early centuries of Buddhism, with one side arguing that rebirth (or conception) follows immediately after death, and the other saying that there must be an interval between the two. With the rise of mahayana, belief in a transitional period prevailed. Later Buddhism expanded the whole concept to distinguish six or more similar states, covering the whole cycle of life, death, and rebirth. But it can also be interpreted as any transitional experience, any state that lies between two other states. Its original meaning, the experience of being between death and rebirth, is the prototype of the bardo experience, while the six traditional bardos show how the essential qualities of that experience are also present in other transitional periods. By refining even further the understanding of the essence of bardo, it can then be applied to every moment of existence. The present moment, the now, is a continual bardo, always suspended between the past and the future.[11]

Intermediate state in Theravāda[edit source]

Theravāda Abhidhamma texts like the Kathavatthu traditionally reject the view that there is an intermediate or transitional state (antarabhāva) between rebirths, they hold that rebirth happens instantaneously (in one mind moment) through the re-linking consciousness (patisandhi citta).[12]

However, as has been noted by various modern scholars like Bhikkhu Sujato, there are passages in the Theravāda Pali Canon which support the idea of an intermediate state, the most explicit of which is the Kutuhalasāla Sutta.[13]

This sutta states:

[The Buddha:] "Vaccha, I declare that there is rebirth for one with fuel [with grasping], not for one without fuel. Vaccha, just as fire burns with fuel, not without fuel, even so, Vaccha, I declare that there is rebirth for one with fuel [with grasping], not for one without fuel."

[Vaccha replies:] "But, master Gotama, when a flame is tossed by the wind and goes a long way, what does master Gotama declare to be its fuel?"

[Buddha:] "Vaccha, when a flame is tossed by the wind and goes a long way, I declare that it is fueled by the air. For, Vaccha, at that time, the air is the fuel."

[Vaccha:] "Master Gotama, when a being has laid down this body, but has not yet been reborn in another body, what does the master Gotama declare to be the fuel?"

[Buddha:] "Vaccha, when a being has laid down this body, but has not yet been reborn in another body, it is fuelled by craving, I say. For, Vaccha, at that time, craving is the fuel."[13]

Furthermore, some Theravāda scholars (such as Balangoda Ananda Maitreya) have defended the idea of an intermediate state and it is also a very common belief among some monks and laypersons in the Theravāda world (where it is commonly referred to as the gandhabba or antarabhāva). According to Sujato, it is also widely accepted among Thai forest tradition teachers.[14][13]

In East Asian Buddhism[edit source]

East Asian Buddhism generally accepts the main doctrines of the Yogacara tradition as taught by Vasubandhu and Asanga. This includes the acceptance of the intermediate existence (中有, Chinese romanization: zhōng yǒu, Japanese: chūu). The doctrine of the intermediate existence is mentioned in various Chinese Buddhist scholastic works, such as Xuanzang's Cheng Weishi Lun (Discourse on the Perfection of Consciousness-only).[15]

The Chinese Buddhist Canon contains a text called the Antarabhava sutra, which is used in funerary rituals.[16]

The founder of Soto Zen, Dogen, wrote the following regarding how to navigate the intermediate state:

“When you leave this life, and before you enter the next life, there is a place called an intermediary realm. You stay there for seven days. You should resolve to keep chanting the names of the three treasures without ceasing while you are there. After seven days you die in the intermediary realm and remain there for no more than seven days. At this time you can see and hear without hindrance, like having a celestial eye. Resolve to encourage yourself to keep chanting the names of the three treasures without ceasing: ‘I take refuge in the Buddha. I take refuge in the Dharma. I take refuge in the Sangha.’ After passing through the intermediary realm, when you approach your parents to be conceived, resolve to maintain authentic wisdom. Keep chanting refuge in the three treasures in your mother’s womb. Do not neglect chanting while you are given birth. Resolve deeply to dedicate yourself to chant and take refuge in the three treasures through the six sense roots. When your life ends, your eye sight will suddenly become dark. Know that this is the end of your life and be determined to chant, ‘I take refuge in the buddha.’ Then, all buddhas in the ten directions will show compassion to you. Even if due to conditions you are bound to an unwholesome realm, you will be able to be born in the deva realm or in the presence of the Buddha. Bow and listen to the Buddha.” --- Shobogenzo, section 94, "Mind of the Way”, translated by Peter Levitt & Kazuaki Tanahashi (2013):
