Abstract
In religion the matter of death is a main theme. In 5th century China, the thought of Amitâbha and the Pure Land in the process of acceptance of Buddhism is an idea that was projected by the death and the afterlife. Hong-Ming-Ji shows this thought in 5th century. Zong Bing’s “Nan-BaiHei-Lun” is understood the context of the thought of Amitâbha and the Pure Land. This text is described as the Nirvana (涅槃) in the matter of the death and the Samsara (輪廻) and the Pure Land in the matter of the afterlife. Zong Bing refuted the criticism of Buddhism that was understood by both non-buddhist and buddhist with distrust. The matter of the death is about the matter of ‘who I am?’, and this is about the understanding about pratītya-samutpanna (緣起) and the emptiness. The thought of Amitâbha and the Pure Land is established from the process of developing the logic about the buddhist concepts, and is a phenomenon that colligated translating Buddhist scriptures and understanding those. Especially the thought of Amitâbha and the Pure Land shows the buddhist philosophy as well as the religion of Buddhism. This study is to analyse the text for explaining the phenomenon about the Buddhism as philosophy and religion.
