The Philosophy of the Myōken: The Ethics of the Dead and Bodhisattvas
Today, the modern value systems that once held sway have fallen apart, and people throughout the world are wandering in an aimless state. Amidst this, we are pressed to ask, “What kind of a new ethics might we construct?” We need to consider the possibility of an ethics that focuses on the religious view of humankind (previously ignored by modernity), that goes beyond this life, and includes the next life. In this article, I examine the way of be…
Chinese Buddhism and the Anti-Japan War
This article examines the attitudes and responses of Chinese Buddhists with regard to the Sino-Japanese war of the 1930s and 1940s by focusing on two figures, Taixu and Leguan.

Two seemingly contradictory aspects of the teaching of innate enlightenment (hongaku) in medieval Japan
The Sanjfi-shi ka no kotogaki [The thirty-four item report] is one of the most representative works in the tradition of hongaku thought in the Japanese medieval Tendai school. Two seemingly contradictory aspects can be found when analyzing the theory found in this text. The first aspect is the absolute affirmation of this world on the basis of the principle of selfconsistency, which seems to require no practice for realizing enlightenment. The se…
