| Research Abstract |
The influence of the system, the Buddhist service, and thought which Zen Buddhism brought to Japanese medieval-times society in this research was solved on many sides. Zen Buddhism established the power base located in a line with the Tendai sect of Buddhism and the Shingon sect in response to national protection about the middle of the 14th century in Japanese society. The Buddhist service based on the courtesy of the Chinese Buddhism which Zen Buddhism performs was established as national Buddhist services including a general's funeral service. In the thought side, the active lecture by a Zen monk was performed, Zen and Confucianism were explained, and Zen thought had great influence also on entertainments like NO play.
