Abstract

<p>I have examined the interpretation of the word “shin” 心, which appears in Dōgen’s 道元 ‘Hotsumujōshin’ 発無上心 fascicle of the 75-fascicle version of the Shōbōgenzō 正法眼蔵. Dōgen is thought to have explained that a phenomenon called “jindaichi” 尽大地 is the ultimate truth. In addition, he explains that the mind is a mind of wood and stones （木石心）, or the mind of old Buddha （古仏心）. He thus preaches that it is a mind stipulated in such a way that establishes the unsurpassed mind. This is based on the fact that the establishment of the Bodhi mind is the phenomenon that is the ultimate truth. The main assertion made in the ‘Hotsumujōshin’ fascicle is to strive for building stūpas and making statues of the Buddha, and Dōgen emphasized the establishment of the Bodhi mind in order to promote this idea. It is thought that Dōgen wrote his ‘Hotsubodaishin’ 発菩提心 fascicle in the 12-fascicle version of his Shōbōgenzō in his later years, and it is believed that he did not totally abandon his assertions from the ‘Hotsumujōshin’ fascicle.</p>
