Early Buddhist Communities on the Perspective of Paṭicca Samuppāda Structure

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this paper is to find a new theoretical model, which could contribute to a new view of Buddhist sociology. This study focuses on the community of Buddha and ideas as found in the early Mahāparinirvaṇa-suttanta.
The theory of dependent-arising fundamentally differs from any other philosophy: It rejects the traditional linear and unidirectional causality theories, and proposes a mutual causal theory, seeing all relations in terms of mutuality. According to Buddhist mutual causality, there is no substance, there is only relation. The introduction to the idea of mutual identification and interpretation into early Buddhist societies can be justified through the fact that early Buddhism effected Indian sociological phenomena. Seeing this from the view of dependant origination, Buddhism and society actually mutually interrelate without obstruction.
