Buddhism in 'The Nihon ryoiki"
SAITO Maki
In
"The Nihonryoiki",
Buddhism consists of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, sutras, practices and monks.'The Nihon ryoiki"
often relates these ones to miraculous events. For example, asatue
of Buddha cried whileit
was being broken.A
sutradidnl
burn thoughit
wasin
the fue. The author of "The Nihonryoiki"
considered that Buddhism has the powerwhich
caused such miraculous events.IIl
addition, the power rif Buddhism was considered to bring happiness to tiving things.If liv-
ing things believe Buddhism theywitl
gain happiness because they are related to the power of Buddhism.If
tiving things don't believe Buddhism they must suffer because they can't be related to the power of Buddhism. The author of "The Nihon ryoiki" irxisted that people must believe Buddhism because of such an idea.It
can be saidthat
Buddhism means the miraculous power and is the mostimportant
purpose of lives of living thingsin
"The Nihon ryoiki".―
