Nichiren and Shinran (129)
Chapter 7 Shinran I am Budda
Section 5 The thought of Shinran
1 I have considered of Shinran’s thought from the various viewpoint .In this section I will
summarize from the beginning of the zyoudo believes .In the beginning of this chapter I have summarized Shinran’s thought as the six article . See following .
Direct toward only Mida
Chantig Mida
Negation of initiative
At first can be saved the bad man
Equality of the people with Mida
Let it be , so it is it
At least in the times of Ryuuzyu and Seshin did not be presented [ direct toward only Mida ]. Their contribution was the introduction of the watching the zyoudo as the simple easy method . The thought , direct toward Mida only Mida , began from Donran .He was also half baked . he praised Mida and zyoudo , searched for the way to watch and enter into zyoudo .But[ raise and watch] could not mean [only Mida].
Donran emphasized the splendidness of zyoudo , light side. In the contrary ,Doushaku and Zendou emphasized the dark side ,emphasized the dark side. The man was foolishness .His disposition was very bad. The tow persons emphasized the law and the disposition of the people. They pulled the dark side of the person. They told of the mappou (the period in which the man had little ability to go to zyoudo ) . They considered that man had nothing good ,was filled with guilt agony and much desire .Such a man in such a period had no more the possibility than depending on Mida , they taught so. Dousyaku introduced the conception Kyou-Ki-Zi . Kyou means teaching .Ki means disposition and Zi means time .In the bad time , for the bad man was the simple method effective . Zendou accepted this concept and made it clearer through the story of Idaike and Daibadatta in Kanmuryouzyukyou . By Zendou was the thought of [direct toward Mida] established . At the same time the reason of chanting Mida was recognized .
2 The representative priest who promoted the zyoudo believes in Japan were Genshin and Hounen . They lived in their times and promoted the zyoudo believe adapted to their times . In the middle of Heian era Genshin systematized the zyoudo thought and made the method of watching Mida . He was affected by the fastineted atomosphere at that time . Hounen lived in the last times of Heian era and the beginning of the Kamakura era , took the mind of the times , belief and decision into his thought . He depended upon Zendou and simultaneously erased the obscureness in Zendou’s believe . and adopted the chanting Mida as the only one method without any compromise . In Zenndou the value of other method without chanting Mida zero .In Hounen their value became minus . Hounen proclaimed that other practice was the robbery . Hounen also emphasized the value of the chanting Mida’s hope and negated the initiative at the side of the beliebers ..Laissez faire , the luck shall come. When viewed Zenran and Houne , the greatness of Mida and the badness of the peole parallel . Because of bad therefor the bad man becomes unlucky .this is the logics in the popular society . But in the saving action the situation is reversed .Here , because of bad, the bad man can be saved , at first .In the zyoudo thought Mida and people absolutely distinct .At the same time Mida and people are the same , entirely the same .Zendou emphasized only the dstinction . In the contrary Hounen told about the continuation of the both sides . Naturally the initiative in the believes became unnecessary .Shinran proceeded in this way ,decisively .
To accomplish the logics through and through Shinran noticed , recognized the latent continuousness between Mida (in general Budda ) and the people ,pulled it and changed the continuousness to the sameness . To achieve this operation , the value and ethics which are valid and current in the society ,should be negated ,completely . Shinran dug the thought of Hounen more deeply . Shinran changed the logics from [No intiative in belief ] to [Because of no initiative can be saved ] . The concepg of Akuninsyouki (at first can be saved the bad man ) was born . Here Shinran integrated the tow flows in the zyoudo thoughts , the light side drawn by Seshin and Donran ,and the dark side told by Dousyaku and Zendou .
Through the concept of [Akuninshouki] Shinran and Mida became equal .The operation to pull out this conclusion was the reversal of the value . Only by the reversal of the value good and bad ,Shinran ,more generally speaking the man can be equal to Mida .The reversal of the value has been done through the self introspection . The reversal of the value brought the reinstation of his self . Shinran suffered from the lost of the object from his birth . The lower rank of his family in the aristocrat society , the thoughtless deed of his father , being left alone in his society , involvement with the battle , the lost of the promotion and finally the punishment to exile to country , he experienced the lost of object and the danger of identification many times . More the problem of the sexuality was added . Shinran dug and exposed the own trauma . He succeeded to look at the trauma and to take the insight of himself . At the same time Shinran justify own trauma through exposition . The final conclusion of this operation was Akuninsyouki , at first can be saved the bad man- - theory .Shinran became equal to Mida. When self and Mida are equal both sides lost their form . Mida ,Shinran and the law made the formless space itself . There is no distinction . That is the state ,let it be so it is it . That is making the god from him self .
The strongest shock on the way to the final state was the affaire ,to disown his son Zenran . By sacrifice of his own son Shinran overcame his own power .He could beco
me totally dependent on Mida.
What Shinran has brought and given us in the 90 years long life . the answer is the finding of the man ,the man as universe . Because of universal the possibility is unlimited , the deed is unlimited too . The man as the universal can carry everything .Shinran accepted the reality of universal, badness eros and nothing The finding of the man., Shinranhas brought us, here..
