Abstract

The Priest and His Disciples was written in 1916, but published in 1929 because Kurata Hyakuzo spent 13 years in hospital from that year. During the period, he gained a strong desire for seeking truth through a religious experience. After such painful experience, he steeped in the literature of pursuit for the truth of life. Kurata Hyakuzo was aspire to get a relief from a Zen-like way, which was most holy in life from the sense of crisis that had to feel the remaining lifetime. He tried to become a holy saint with the way of such relief. The holy love he insisted, is not a curse to all love that allowed a disciple of Buddha through prayer succeed internally the fate prescribed wishes and that he sought to be obtained. Moreover, the holy love is to protect the quality of his own soul to look up to himself in what it is possible to deepen as to consideration by the others sacrifice and patience. It is well-known love and Buddha by love holy to the ideal in this work, such as is saying that it does not want to lose the idealism and innocent life, by holy love, evil and sin will be saved. Therefore, in the life of Kurata Hyakuzo was internal than superficial elements like the importance of his work in the agony and pain to get salvation outside the sacred holy love, and it is thought that suggests that practice.
