  • Genshin’s View of Buddha’s Light: Incarnated Buddhas and Bodhisattvas Appearing in the Light

説明

<p>In this paper, I demonstrate that the doctrinal idea of genshin seppō 現身説法 discussed by Genshin in the Amidabutsu byakugōkan 阿弥陀仏白毫観 is found also in his Ōjōyōshū 往生要集. The idea of genshin seppō is that the Buddha manifests transformed bodies （genshin現身） for sentient beings, and teaches the Dharma （seppō 説法） in various ways according to the spiritual levels of sentient beings. Previous studies here found that the Ōjōyōshū teaches the idea of the “light of embracing（sesshu no hikari 摂取の光）, but they have ignored the existence of the idea of genshin seppō in the text. This paper shows that in the Ōjōyōshū the idea of genshin seppō is expressed in the form of the preaching of the incarnated figures of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas appearing in the light.</p><p>To make this argument, I take up the teaching discussed in the Guanfo sanmei hai jing 観仏三昧海経, because this sūtra greatly influenced Genshin’s view of the Buddha’s light as seen in both in the Amidabutsu byakugōkan and in the Ōjōyōshū. In the first section of this paper, I show the similarities between the Amidabutsu byakugōkan and the Guanfo sanmei hai jing. The second part of the paper discusses the relationship between the Ōjōyōshū and the Guanfo sanmei hai jing. The third part focuses on Genshin’s unique method of textual citation. </p>
