摘要
The present volume is a groundbreaking study of the perfect and sudden precepts (endonkai 圓頓戒, also known as the bodhisattva precepts) in medieval and early modern Tendai 天台 Buddhism. It consists of three parts. Part one takes up the Kamakura 鎌倉 period (1185–1333) precepts revival movement within the Tendai school known as the Kurodani lineage (Kurodani-ryū 黒谷流). Part two presents a detailed analysis of the Tendai interpretation of the ten major precepts found in the Brahmajāla Sutra (Fanwang jing 梵網経). Part three discusses four Tendai monks of the Muromachi 室町 (1336–1573) and Edo 江戸 (1603–1868) periods, focusing in particular on their understanding of the precepts and the nenbutsu 念仏.
