| Abstract | Invoking the esoteric Buddhist deity Fudō for rebirth is a lesser known aspect
in the development of Pure Land worship. Fudō was invoked by reciting
his incantation as a deathbed practice to attain proper mindfulness at death
allowing rebirth into the Pure Land, particularly Miroku’s Heaven, from the
late Heian into the Kamakura period. The association of Fudō and Miroku’s
Heaven extends back to the Tendai monk Sōō (ninth century), and invoking
Fudō for rebirth was practiced by such notables as Emperor Shirakawa and
the Kegon monk Myōe. Fudō was incorporated into Miroku Raigō paintings
from the end of the twelfth century into the fourteenth century, probably as a
last recourse by the traditional schools of Buddhism to the rising popularity of Amida worship and easy access to Amida’s Pure Land through the nenbutsu. |
