Japan considers Buddhism as a power to protect and stabilize the state in Buddhism

The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.

In terms of ideology, Japan certainly accepted Chinese thought and was influenced, but it is not necessarily true that Japan has no original thought.

If we have a reverse viewpoint, Japan will always escape under the influence of China, and we can see the process of forming our own ideological and psychological history.

Japan History of Ideas ‘to quit Chinese’

My new book that summarizes Japan History of Ideas · Geistesgeschichte from such a reverse perspective is ‘Why can only Japan escape from the spellbinding of China? Japan History of Ideas' to quit Chinese’ (PHP new book) I really wanted to make the subtitle ‘Japan History of Ideas to quit Chinese' the main title.

Japan that has the syncretism of Kami and Buddha.

Even though Japanese people are influenced by Chinese civilization and thought, they have tried to confront them from the beginning and create unique ones in Japan.

In the previous book I wrote that Japan has free refreshing attitude from the bondage of certain civilizations and ideas.

One example is Confucianism and Buddhism

These two ideas were transmitted to Japan through the Korean Peninsula almost at the same time.

However, in the Asuka - Muromachi era, Japanese attitudes toward Buddhism and Confucianism are completely different.

Especially in the Asuka and Nara period, Yamato Court made full efforts to create a Buddhist state.

Todaiji Temple and Great Buddha were built, and Kokubunji is arranged throughout the country.

Japan considers Buddhism as a power to protect and stabilize the state in Buddhism and has spread as a national religion.

However, against Confucianism it was very cold.

One phenomenon that Japanese scholars have not posed as a problem in the past is that it is a Japanese thinker before the Muromachi period and that no Confucian scholar exists.

Kukai, Saicho, Shinran, etc. are all Buddhist relations, but listing the name of the Confucian scholar how who will be isn't made first.

Behavior of the Chinese bomber is an outright military threat to the public

Mr. Seki-hei was born in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China in 1962, after graduating from Beijing University Philosophy Department, after working as a lecturer at the Sichuan University Philosophy Department, he came to Japan in 1988. In 1995, he completed his doctoral course at Kobe University Graduate School of Culture.

When he was living as student studying abroad at Kobe University, he was invited by a friend and visited Arashiyama, and he had Japan with Treasury of the True Dharma Eye, then he married a Japanese, and he is naturalized in Japan in 2007.

Arashiyama is one of my favorite places, two years ago, 100 times a year visited.

As I mentioned, Mr. Seki-hei and me encountered in Tofukuji on the day when the autumn leaves were in full bloom two years ago.

I have a feeling very close to Mr. Seki-hei and I respect him as well.

The paper he writes is a must read for all the Japanese citizens.

The following is from his paper published in monthly magazine WiLL released the day before yesterday.

Kōjien ‘Taiwan is part of China’ is a big lie

Japan and Taiwan, which are away from the poison of Chinese civilization can compete with Xi Jinping dictatorship

Xi Jinping dictatorship

From January 10th to 11th, 2018, Chinese submarines and warships invaded Japan's connected waters around the Senkaku was a very serious and serious incident.

The Senkaku Islands are territories unique to Japan.

Yoshihiko Noda In 2012, we have nationalized the Senkaku Islands, but since that time, Japan and China have continued to face each other around the Senkaku Islands.

China launched a maritime police station, Japan launched the Japan Coast Guard.

It was a confrontation between the Coast Guards, so to speak.

However, I think that it is very serious in this one case, China has pushed the military power to the front.

It is a fully-fledged Navy.

'In the SDF vessels have invaded the Senkaku Islands, we entered to monitor.'

It confirmed that I entered the connected waters of the Senkaku Islands dignifiedly.

Moreover, it is stating that it was pursuit to the SDF of Japan.

Originally, since the surrounding waters of the Senkaku Islands are Japan's territorial waters, China has nothing to do whether the SDF will enter or not.

However, as a result of clearly saying "surveillance" for the SDF ship, China actually promoted the conflict between Japan and China over the Senkaku to a military level.

From now on, China will fight against the Senkaku problem with the background of military strength.

Another important incident is taking place in August 2017.

Six Chinese strategic bombers flew off the Kii Peninsula.

There are no US military bases in the vicinity of the Kii Peninsula, or there is not a large base of the SDF.

Instead, there are Keihanshin, where many citizens are living.

Behavior of the Chinese bomber is an outright military threat to the public.

What is the background of Chinese firm stance?
