The Interpretation of Shi-Mo-He-Yan-Lun(Is<Pte The JapaneseAssociationJapanese Association of Indian and Buddhist Studies (152> Jburnal ofincfian andBucidhist &udies Vbl. 56, No.3, March 2008 The interpretation of Shi-mo-he-yan-lun (iS<ptE-ajMwh) of Saisen(}fime) seen mainly with Ben-ken-mitsu-ni-kyo- ron-ken-klyo-sho(#}eeas=utthmastte) ToyosHiMA YUgo Introduction SZii-mo-he:yan-lun is one of the annotated books ofDa-cheng-qi-xin-lun (]JEckretsth), and describes the work ofNEgdnuna. It is a forgery, and thought to be approved by China or the Silla Kingdom in the first half of the eigtith century. Da-cheng-qi=xin-inn-:yiVi (LA: ftreffwheefl) written by Fa-chang (643-712, i15wt) and Da-cheng-qi-xin-lun:yi-shu (;A;inyg meEmb#en) written by Mian-shao (617-686, nee) are famous as the annotated books of Da-cheng-qi-xin-lun. Slzi-mo-he:yan-lun is also seen as an influence on Da-cheng-qi-xin- lun:yidi and is considered to be an annetated baok of the Kcgon study. Hewcver, S;ipi-mo- he:yan-lun sets up a new stmcture of 33 types of dharma and gates (fa-men, ttiPH) and the bu-er-mo-hen-yan (theabsolute teaching ofbuddha, JI<::1tesufi'f), fbr example. These are the original interpretations not seen in Da-cheng-gi-xin-lun. In Japan, Kukai (774-835, Zma) valued this work and it came to occupy an important position in the Shingon study. Saisen (nvma, 1025-1l15, who was the monk ofNinnasii (itfiIlr) temple at the end of the Heian era) also treated Shi-mo-he:yan-lun as an antheritic work written by Nagaziuna. He wrote the annotated books on the Shaku-ma-ka-en-ron-ketsu-gi-ha-nan-e-shaktt-sho (wtpa:ofM rv.VtfisteeEkwtW) and Shaku-ron-ryu-gi-bun-shaku (wtge.:iZmet"'M). I wrote the thesis i) cencerning Shaku-ron-ryu:gi-bun-shaku in 2005 . However, there is a lot ofother Saisen's writing. The whele image of the interpretation ofSaisen's Shi-mo-he:yan-tun is not clear. Moreover, at the end of the Heian era, the systematization ofthe [[bndai study had been almost completed by Annen (841-?, ftrt) ; however, the systematization was late in the Shingon study. And the system ofthe Shingon study was attempted while receiving Aimen's influence. Saisen was the pioneer and the trial and errer process is witnessed in his inter- pretation. In this thesis, I verify Ben-ken-mitsu-ni-dy,o-ron-hen-kyo-sho, and the contradic- tions between this and other writings is clarified. This comparison will clarify his pioneer's -1188- NII-Electronic Library Service The JapaneseAssociationJapanese Association of Indian and Buddhist Studies The interpretation ofShi-mo-heoian-lun {wtSS'njtvith) ofSaisen (IIfme) (153) seen mainly with Ben-ken-mitsu-ni-lyo-ron-ken-dyo-sho (sescg= xthmastw) (Y. TbyosmMA) character. 1. The quotation ofShi-mo-he-yan-lun in Ben-ken-mitsu-ni-kyo-ron: ln Ben-kon-mityu-ni-dyo-ron, Kukai tried to clairify that the difference between esoteric Buddhism (erX) and other fbrms ofBuddhisms <vatz) are rematkable, but esoteric Bud- dhism is supreme. For Confirmation, he discusses rnany esoteric Budchism sutras, among other things. Shi-mo-he-yan-lun is one ef the evidences. The quotation part of Shi-mo-he- sections. section consisting offive ofwords yan-lun dividesintotwo This types (Eilnttt'"-ge.), two types ofnames (=ptiSli!#), and ten states ofminds (-I"ptJrkNa) is taken up in the latter hal£ I would like to witness the interpretation of the all-one mind (e-,") and the one-- one mind (di"J") in ten states of minds. The ten states ofminds given by Shi-mo-he:yan- lun involve the five sensory otgans (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body) and five minds (consideration, manas, alaya-vljhdna, the all-one mind, the one-one mind) . Since the eight states ofminds are the same as the eight recognition theories among these, the details are omitted. However, the ninth mind and tbe tenth mind include the original theory ofShi-mo-he-),an-lun, as the fot- lowing explains. The all-one mind is called yi-qietl-i-yi yi-xin (the one mind has the feature that all minds are nv'enHP"ntJLh) one mind, and the one-olle mind is called yiji-yi yi-xin (the one mindhas the ---ARP--',ts) feature that an individnal mind is one mind, . These explanations' are raised in the interpretation seetion of the second volume for the analysis of the two types of dharma. These are the san-zi-Mah5ydna (Mahay5na thatdividesinto thfeeparts, =' nzaRiffi'i) and the -IZtteE'njrvf) yi-ti-Mahaytina (MahEyana that was integratcd into one, . In Shi-mo-he-yan-lun, the one mind is divided into two stages and, in addition, it divides from the viewpoint of the change gate (!ktwFS) and the truth gate (scaPFe) into two. These two MahaySna cor- respond to the change gate and the tmth gate ofthe second stage. Therefore, the alias ofthe san-zi-Mahayana corresponding to the change gate is the all-one mind, and the alias of the yi-ti-Mahayzana corresponding to the truth gate is the onc-one mind. Though the truth is assumed to be verbalized and net to be perceivable in Buddhisrri originally, it is assumed that it is expressed and perceival)le in S;I)i-mo-he-yan-inn. The five types ofwords, two types of flames, and ten states ofminds explain this. In this interpreta- tion the one-one mind expresses the truth, whereas the all-one mind cannot. Conversely, Ski-mo-he:yan-lun explains the bu-epmo-hen-yan is the absolute buddha's -1189- NII-Electronic Library Service The JapaneseAssociationJapanese Association of Indian and Buddhist Studies (154> The interpretation ofShi-nee-he,yan-lun (wtwaalfi'ik) ofSaisen (Mme) seen mainly wirh Ben-ken-mitsu-ni-kye-ron-ken-kyo-sho (eswaas LltsthmsenW> (Y.ToyosHiMA) teaching which is irrelevant to indrya (esK). It is aconcern whether the truth is the same as the bu-er-rno-hen-yan. This problem cannot be answered clearly from the text, and the interpretation is also a point of contention between researchers. In the structure of the 33 types of dharTna, these become the mind of the second stage. From the opinion of whether this relates to the truth, these two minds might relate to the bu-er-mo-hen-yan, if it is thought that the bu-er-mo-hen-yan is the same as the truth. In short, these two minds divide into the two types of classifications; the type seen from the tmth and the type seen from the structure of33 types of dharma. Kukai thought the bu-er-rno-hen-yan to be related to the tmth and interpreted esoteric 'was Buddhism as the bu-er-mo-hen-yan. He thought that it interpreted to correspond to the absolute bu-er-mo-hen-yan, esoteric Buddnism, and related the onc-one mind to this. Ku- kai considered that there is a gate to the absolute bu-er-mo-hen-yan and that the gate is the one-one mind. This interpretation was disregarded in the stmcture of 33 types of dliarma, and it influenced the following Shingon study. Naturally, Saisen also has succeeded Iimkai's interpretation. However, it comes to face the interpretation of the mind of the second stage that Kukai disregarded when Saisen annotatcs Shi-mo-hetyan-lun. Both ofthese two inter- pretations are used when his understanding of Shi-mo-he:yan-lun is observed, and a con- tradiction is created. I would like to clarify this point. 2.

Saisen located the all-one mind to the san-zi-yi-in MahfiyEna and the one-one mind to the bu-er-mo-hen-yan. The interpretation of Kukai's Ben-ken-mitsu-ni-kyo-ron is thought to be a reason.

McMullen Editor’s Introduction Esoteric Buddhist Traditions in Medieval Japan he term “esoteric Buddhism” (mikkyō 密教) tends to invoke images often considered obscene to a modern audience. Such popular impres- sions may include artworks insinuating copulation between wrathful Tdeities that portend to convey a profound and hidden meaning, or mysterious rites involving sexual symbolism and the summoning of otherworldly powers to execute acts of violence on behalf of a patron. Similar to tantric Buddhism elsewhere in Asia, many of the popular representations of such imagery can be dismissed as modern interpretations and constructs (White 2000, 4–5; Wede- meyer 2013, 18–36).

August 4th. This morning the U.S. Consulate was found to be minus its national coat-of-arms over the gate-way. This seemed to ruffle the worthy Consul very considerably. He at once issued a notice offering a reward for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the thief who had been tampering with Uncle Sam's fowl-yard. But all to no purpose,—for what really became of that American Eagle remains a mystery even unto this day. On August 6th the English fleet under Admiral Kupper steamed out of the bay in line. It was said to be bound for Kagoshima, Satsuma's Capital, to exact reparation from that Daimio for the outrage committed by his men at Namamugi on the Tokaido in September, 1862. August 8th. The foreign representatives were notified by the Shogun's Government that Ogasawara, Dzosho-no-kami had been released from his membership of the Gorojiu.

  • Capital-Nation-State: a Genealogy of Yasukuni Shrine
    Capital-Nation-State: A Genealogy of Yasukuni Shrine by Joshua P. Baxter A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Joshua P. Baxter November 2016 Capital-Nation-State: A Genealogy of Yasukuni Shrine Joshua P. Baxter Doctorate of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto November 2016 Abstract Japan’s militaristic past continues to haunt the present and often at the center of these debates is the site that commemorates the war dead, Yasukuni Shrine. This dissertation seeks to address the political economy of the shrine and argues that this issue cannot be transcended if the history of the development of capitalism in Japan continues to be bracketed off in favor of narrating the shrine strictly through the discourse of the nation and the state. This claim derives from the observation that Yasukuni Shrine and the development of capitalism in Japan emerge at the same historical moment and thus they must also share an underlying logic. By adding capital to the equation, it becomes evident that the shrine is at the nexus of the operation of Capital- Nation-State and thus played a role in producing the very idea of modern Japan. Using a variety of primary sources, from state documents to personal diaries and newspaper reports, the archival research reveals how the shrine, as a state institution, was shaped by economic interactions just as much as it was by state ideology. In each chapter a different aspect of how the history of capitalism intersects with the space of the shrine is examined through the themes of everyday life, commodity exchange, urban planning, and universal conscription.

  • Everyday Fascism in Contemporary Japan Etsko Kasai
    Everyday Fascism in Contemporary Japan Etsko Kasai Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2013 ©2013 Etsko Kasai All rights reserved Abstract Everyday Fascism in Contemporary Japan Etsko Kasai This dissertation uses the concept of fascism in order to examine the socio-culture of contemporary Japan. Defined in terms of its commodity structure, fascism turns out to be a relevant concept to Japan not only prior to and during the Asia-Pacific War (1931-1945) but also from the postwar days to date. Against various forms of culturalism that claim that the country is essentially totalitarian and its culture is innately violent, I will argue that the country has shared fascist conditions with those other countries and regions that operate in the mode of mechanical reproduction. While the overall mode of mass-reproduction has been further articulated by different moments, such as late capitalism or post-modernism, the cultural and political condition of reducing singular lives and events into standardized forms has continued in these countries and regions roughly since the 1920s. My view will expand the horizon of studies of fascism, which has hitherto been limited to Europe between the two World Wars. At the same time, the view of fascism’s generality should not be blind to local inflections and historical specificities. In this dissertation, I will examine such trans-war Japanese institutions as the ideologies of emperorship, formation of the petty bourgeois class, and corporatist organizations of gender and locality.

Unlike Christianity or Buddhism, all things on earth were brought forth and ruled over by the gods who reside throughout all nature. So even mountains and trees often become objects of worship. The belief of Shintoism is similar to that of native Americans who believe in animism. That is one of the reasons why most Japanese believe in both Shintoism and Buddhism.
