The metaphors in the Buddhist literature are numerous and play important roles in understanding the doctrine of Buddhism. However, the Buddhist philosophical studies on the language phenomenon ‘metaphor’ itself are hard to find. The reason is related to various negative attitudes of Buddhism toward language. In analyzing the interdependence between consciousness (vijnana, 識) and nameform (namarupa, 名色) in the twelve links of dependent origination (十二緣起), it is clear that object schema (lakṣaṇa, 相), which was received from past experiences and stored in the alaya-vijnana (藏識), generates actualization of object schema through a current utterance (種子生現行). At the same time, this actualization (現行) perfumes the object schema (現行熏種子) as well. The relationship between language and objects is the pratītyasamutpāda (緣起), i.e., the core doctrine of Buddhism. At this time, language has a figurative meaning in which it generates an actualization as one aspect of the world, and language can not distort the reality because it is simultaneous as the one-time event. In other words, the metaphor was mistakenly understood comparing to the normal use of language, but is in conformity with the one-time actualization. And the latter is not ontologically separated from the whole world. On the other hand, the individuation through the ‘sensation-craving-grasping- being’ in the latter part of the twelve links of dependent origination, distorts the reality by the non-metaphoric language use. The memory of pleasure and pain of the past covers the present object (actualization), and this process is required for the individuation. Therefore, a process called ‘control of desire’ is inevitable and this is why Buddhism holds the two horns of theory and practice.
