Abstract

<p>Although the historical and dogmatic importance of Buddhism in the Edo period is often pointed out, there still remain many aspects to be analyzed. The same can be said about the career, writings, and thoughts of Eon, a Jōdo Buddhist monk in the middle of the Edo period.</p><p>The aim of this paper is to explore how Eon understood the theory of the joint practice of Zen and Pure Land (Zen-Jō sōshu 禅浄双修) described in chapter two of his Jōdo kōgen roku.</p><p>In conclusion, through a close examination of references cited in chapter two of the Jōdo kōgen roku and the ideology derived from them, it becomes clear that this theory, originated by Yongming Yanshou 永明延寿 in Song-era China, and introduced to Japan in the Edo period through Ōbaku Zen, had a significant degree of influence on Ninchō 忍澂, Eon’s master and Eon. Therefore, it might be possible to say that Eon’s understanding of this theory is based on that of his masters, Yongming Yanshou and Ninchō.</p>
