On the correspondence between 『九雲夢』 and 『金剛經』-(The part IV) You, Byung-hwan This is a part of a series of papers of the same title dealing with correlated topics. The study investigated the aspect of correspondence between some passages of ‘六祖解義’ about ‘第二 善現起請分’ of 『金剛經』 and 『九雲夢』, and revealed that ‘六祖解義’ about ‘第二 善現起請分’ of 『金剛經』 is closely related to the whole narrative and semantic structure of 『九雲夢』 . For example, the passage ‘Deep down inside one’s mind, one thought and the other thought are always righteous.(自心中 念念常正)’ in ‘六祖解義’ actually corresponds with the story that after Seongjin experienced the incarnation through the state that one thought is connected to the other thought in his mind, he proved the truth by himself with the wisdom that he found from the experience. The phrase ‘one thought and the other thought (念念)’ in the passage means that ‘a former thought(前念) is connected to a later thought(後念).(念念相續)’, and this explains what the metempsychosis is. This phrase is related to the story that the thought of Seongjin, which reflects the endless greed in the mundane world, is connected to the thought of Yang Soyu in the step of . Also, ‘always righteous(常正)’ means the eternal wisdom which leads us to 『九雲夢』 과 『金剛經』의 대응양상 (속Ⅳ)․125 the truth or the truth itself, and ‘deep down inside one’s mind(自心中)’ means ‘proving the truth by oneself(自證)’. Thus, this study showed that the exact passage of ‘六祖解義’ corresponds with the whole narrative and semantic structure of 『九雲夢』 . Based on this example, it can be argued that 『金剛經』 is the original narrative and philosophical script of 『九雲夢』 . In this sense, 『九雲夢』 can be thought of as nothing but a fictitious narrative of 『金剛經』.
