This article is a comparison study in the perspective of Analytical Psychology on the Three Natures of Existence and the Three Natures of Non-existence of Vasubandhu´s "The Thirty Stanzas".
Yogacara Buddhism has the abundant psychological insights about the depth psyche. Vasubandhu´s "The Thirty Stanzas" is the masterpiece among texts of Yogacara Buddhism.
From the 20th Song to the 25th Song of "The Thirty Stanzas" are parts that have contents of the Three Natures of Existence and the Three Natures of Non-existence. They are understood by the help of "Ch´eng Wei-Shin Lun" that is the annotation book written by Hsuan Tsang and they are compared with the similar concept of Analytical Psychology to discuss similarities and differences.
The Analytical Psychology is the depth psychology that is founded by C. G. Jung who observed psychic phenomena and tried to understand the symbolic meaning of the unconscious materials. His main ideas are the recovery of the relation between Consciousness and Unconsciousness and the process of Self-realization through the symbolic attitude of Ego-Consciousness towards Unconsciousness materials.
The Three Natures of Existence are ´discrimination(parikalpita-svabha va)´, ´interdependent own-being(paratantra-svabhava)´ and ´fulfilled (parinispanna-svabhava) state´. The changing the mode of apprehension about ´interdependent own-being(paratantra-svabhava)´ phenomena from the ´discrimination(parikalpita-svabhava)´ mode to the different mode that comes from the insight of ´fulfilled(parinispanna-svabhava) state is important to realize the Absolute Knowledge.
The Three Natures of Non-existence denies the reality of the Three Natures of Existence.
The first is non-existence as regards characteristics, the second is non-existence as regards innate nature and the last is non-existence as regards the supreme truth about all dharmas. The main spirit of Buddhism is without self-nature. The Three Natures(parikalpita-svabadva, paratantrasvabadva, parinispanna-svabadva) and denial of them show us the different apprehension modes toward psychic phenomena and their relations with each others. They are understandable by the Jungian concept of ´symbolic attitude´ and experiences of total psyche ´Self. The Ego-Consciousness that is developed by discrimination can transcendent himself by conscious introspection with symbolic attitude.
