摘要

澄观将《大乘起信论》和《华严经》皆视为“法性宗”的典籍，大量引用《大乘起信论》之文阐释《华严经》之义，其融通《大乘起信论》构筑“圆教”的意图相当明显。但在澄观的判教体系中，《大乘起信论》属于“大乘终教”，低于《华严经》所代表的“圆教”。澄观之所以作如此判定，是因为他认为《大乘起信论》虽然所讲的道理是圆满的，但这种道理与修行还没有达成一体，还属于“凡夫”的境界而非佛的境界。由于受到《涅槃经》的“佛性”论的影响，澄观重视“法性”与“佛性”之间的差异，这导致了澄观的《大乘起信论》观与法藏的立场不同。

Cheng Guan（澄观）thought that the Awakening of Faith Sutra and the Avataṃsakasūtra were texts of the Dharma-nature school, and so extensively quoted from the former to explain the later, which obviously showed his intention of constructing Perfect Teachings（圆教）with integration of the Awakening of Faith Sutra. But according to Cheng Guan's religious classification system, the Awakening of Faith Sutra is part of Mahayana's Ultimate or Perfect Teaching （大乘终教）, which is on a lower level than the Avataṃsakasūtra as Complete Teachings. The reason for Cheng Guan's classification was that he thought the teachings of Awakening of Faith Sutra pertain to worldlings and not the Buddha, although the teachings of Sutra is perfect, it is not unified with religious practice. Influenced by the Buddha-nature thought of Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra, Cheng Guan paid much attention to the difference between Dharma-nature and Buddha-nature, which resulted in his different assessment of the Awakening of Faith Sutra from that of Fa Zang（法藏）.
