AbstractJitsudō Ninkū (1309-1388) played important roles in both the Tendai School and the Seizan branch of the Jōdo School, and was one of the most prolific and insightful monastic authors of his time; he also served as abbot of two important temples. His doctrinal and administrative concerns come together in his proposals to reform the ordination system on Mount Hiei. Part one of this essay is an investigation of the procedures followed in ordinations, focusing on an argument about whether Tendai monks should receive investiture in “comprehensive ordinations” (tsūju) or in “separate ordinations” (betsuju). Part two is an examination of how the ordination ceremony generates the karmic essence (kaitai) of the precepts. Part three explores Ninkū’s argument that ordinations were suitable for worldlings (bonbu). Even as he was attempting to strengthen monastic discipline, he maintained that the precepts were suitable for ignorant worldlings in a country distant from India during mappō (the period of the final decline of Buddha’s Dharma). Part four outlines Ninkū's criticisms of two competing views of the precepts that arose among Tendai monks: the mix of ordinations and Esoteric consecrations represented by the consecrated ordination (kaikanjō) tradition that developed within the Kurodani lineage of the Tendai School and the use of the 250 precepts of the Sifenlu brought back to Japan by the monk Shunjō(1166-1227) of Sennyūji.
