新義教学における自性会と加持世界の構造：聖憲撰『大疏百条第三重』を中心に=The Structure of “Jishōe” 自性会 and “Kaji sekai” 加持世界 in the Shingi-Shingon School: Shōken’s 聖憲 Daisho hyakujō daisanjū 大疏百条第三重
The major feature of the Shingi-Shingon 新義 School is the “Kajishin-setsu” 加持身説, the idea of the empowered responsive body. It is the doctrine that the preacher of Esoteric Buddhism, described in the Mahāvairocana Sūtra, is the empowered manifestation “kajishin (adhiṣṭhānakāya)” of the “Jishōshin (自性身, dharmakāya)”. While there are many critical studies that examine who the preacher of Esoteric Buddhism is, much remains unclear in the details.
In this paper, I discuss the relationship between “Jishōe” 自性会 and “Kaji sekai” 加持世界, focusing on Shōken’s Daisho hyakujō daisanjū 大疏百条第三重.I conclude that both “Jishōe” and “Kaji sekai” are places where the “kajishin” preaching is held, and that the two are in a relationship of identity called “Jishōe-soku-Kajisekai” 自性会即加持世界, or “Fumon-soku-Ichimon” 普門即一門.Furthermore, a comparison of the interpretations of the Shingi-Shingon-School and the Kogi-Shingon 古義 School reveals that they have different interpretations of the preaching in the “Kaji sekai”.
