AbstractThe various developments in doctrinal thought and practice during the
Insei and Kamakura periods remain one of the most intensively researched
fields in the study of Japanese Buddhism. Two of these developments con­
cern the attempts to restore the observance of traditional Buddhist ethics,
and the problem of how Pure Land tenets could be inserted into the esoteric
teaching. A pivotal role in both developments has been attributed to the
late-Heian monk Jichihan, who was lauded by the renowned Kegon scholar-
monk Gydnen as “the restorer of the traditional precepts ” and patriarch of
Japanese Pure Land Buddhism.,’ At first glance, available sources such as
Jichihan’s biograpmes hardly seem to justify these praises. Several newly
discovered texts and a more extensive use of various historical sources,
however, should make it possible to provide us with a much more accurate
and complete picture of Jichihan’s contribution to the restoration and
innovation of Buddhist practice.
