解説
How Shinran, a seminal figure in Pure Land Buddhism, was guided by a vision of Shotoku, the imperial prince who was both a political and religious figure..
The Prince and the Monk addresses the historical development of the political and religious myths surrounding Shotoku Taishi and their influence on Shinran, the founder of the Jodo-Shinshu school of Pure Land Buddhism. Shotoku Taishi (574-622) was a prince who led the campaign to unify Japan, wrote the imperial constitution, and promoted Buddhism as a religion of peace and prosperity. Shinran's Buddhism developed centuries later during the Kamakura period, which began in the late twelfth century. Kenneth Doo Young Lee discusses Shinran's liturgical text, his dream of Shotoku's manifestation as Kannon (the world-saving Bodhisattva of Compassion), and other relevant events during his life. In addition, this book shows that Shinran's Buddhism was consistent with honji suijaku culture-the synthesis of the Shinto and Buddhist pantheons-prevalent during the Kamakura period.
