| Research Abstract |
The eight lectures of the Lotus sutra called " Hokke-hakko" were practiced employing several styles. Some were practiced with using a national meaning, and some, private meanings. At this Hokke-hakko, the discourse of the Lotus sutra as well as the debate was very important.
The study of the discourse until now concentrated on statements in ceremonies "hyobyaku" and admiration words for the chief ceremony-holder "seshudan" and it pointed out an talent in literature of the lecturer. In other words, its study is to pursue flowery words and fine phrases.
But, studying from the documents of the discourse of the Lotus Sutra called "kyoshaku" we can find out a fact that lecturers depended on their own denomination's commentaries and interpretations. They showed an understanding of their own denominations and that discourse had a connection with the following debates. We can say that discourse was one of the most important parts of the "hakko".
In this presentation, I would like to show the real conditions of the discourses concerned with the Lotus Sutra by using materials which have remained, including the documents of the ceremonial services called "hakko" up to those documents related to direct lectures called "jikidan".
