Abstract

In this paper I study the Ensai ganmon ゑんさい願文, a composition of the Kamakura period (1185-1333), and discuss the Pure Land beliefs of that time. The Ensai ganmon were encorporated inside the image of Maitreya Bodhisattva of Shōmyōji Temple 称名寺, established by Hōjō Sanetoki 北条実時 (1224-1276). The Ensai ganmon was written by the wife of Sanetoki, one of the daughters of Hōjō Masamura北条政村 (1205-1273).
