珍海の浄土教思想における菩提心説について

Abstract

In the Ketsujō ōjōshū 決定往生集 written by Chinkai 珍海, the author expresses his negative attitude to the aspiration for buddhahood, wishing both self-interest and altruism that the bodhisattva of Mahayana Buddhism was obliged to practice. In other words, he was groping for rebirth in the Pure Land by means of ganshōshin 願生心 (the wish for rebirth in the Pure Land) without altruistic practices.
