@article{oai:nagoya.repo.nii.ac.jp:02001027, author = {楊, 慶慶 and YANG, QINGQING}, journal = {名古屋大学人文学フォーラム, Humanities Forum, Nagoya University}, month = {Mar}, note = {In the year of Joo 3(1654), Ingen Ryuki (1592-1673), a Chinese eminent monk of late Ming and early Qing dynasties, went to Japan and there founded a new Zen sect Obaku -shu. The greatest contributor to his religious success was Ryokei Shosen(1602-1670), the abbot of Myoshin-ji Temple in Kyoto. This paper analyzes and generalizes what implicitly and explicitly motivates Ryokei to support Ingen about his foundation of Obaku-shu by detailed interpretations of the analects and letters of relevant key figures involved, along with in-depth analysis of their emotions and thoughts against the religious, political and other social backdrops in the early Edo Period. How Obaku-shu was founded in Japan is one of the vital issues not only in the historical studies of early modern Japanese Buddhism, but also of Sino-Japanese Buddhism cultural exchange. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the role of Ryokei in this religious event. However, no profound and thorough discussions have been found in previous researches, except a few mentions in limited relevant papers, where two key claims on Ryokei’s motives dominate. One group of researchers argues that Shie Jiken in 1627 provoked Ryokei’s devotion to Ingen out of religious strife. The other group maintains that Ryokei’s loyalty to Ingen was largely determined by Ingen’s religious thoughts and appealing personality. This paper supports the latter argument and draws some conclusions as follows: Even though Ryokei is accused, excluded and isolated by other religious leaders after the outbreak of Shie Jiken, he does not turn to Ingen out of private grievances and personal ambition. Ryokei devotes himself to Ingen primarily out of his religious choice for he regards Ingen as an orthodoxy Zen leader for Rinzai, revering his rich cultural background, resonating Doctrine of keeping precepts, inspiring and inclusive Zen thoughts . Motivated by such implicit and explicit considerations, Ryokei resolutely decides to be a faithful ally of Ingen and helps him successfully found Obaku-shu against all odds.}, pages = {33--48}, title = {隠元と龍渓性潜 : 隠元の黄檗宗開立を支援する龍渓性潜の動機を中心に}, volume = {4}, year = {2021} }
