Abstract

110006424835

In this essay, I entered into a number of cases of Fudaraku Tokai, and showed that there was a historical change in the meaning of Fudaraku Tokai. In the end, I came to the conclusion that it had changed in the middle of 16th century. Before that, the meaning of Fudaraku Tokai was to reach Fudaraku alive. In the later half of the 16th century, however, it changed into "Jusuioujou" (i.e. to drown oneself wishing that he will be born again at Fudaraku), which was combined with the thought of the Pure Land.
