Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to consider Yousai’s thoughts from a new perspective. Through the understanding of the recently discovered works of Yousai and the works of Yousai's disciples, the characteristics of Yousai's thought were clarified. Furthermore, I considered the actual state of religious activities of Yousai and his students. As a result, the following was found. The Tendai Buddhist monks at that time, including Yousai, were trying to understand the Zen Buddhist thoughts that were popular during the Song Dynasty, through the esoteric thoughts that they were familiar with. Furthermore, there was a discrepancy between Yousai's actual activities and Yousai's subsequent generations' evaluations. The reason for this is that Yousai's thought was interpreted after the idea of Zen Buddhism was established in Japan.
