Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:44:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ http://japanlifeandreligion.com/2010/03/29/buddhist-yojijukugo/#comment-4002 Stephen Sat, 17 Apr 2010 11:01:51 +0000 http://japanlifeandreligion.com/?p=7230#comment-4002 Thank you! I was so honoured (and at the time bored) that I decided to go through a kids introduction to Yojijukugo and see what else I could recognise. Because it is a kids book they are all fairly basic. Five appear in the Amida Sutra. There were also a number of basic Buddhist terms. One 行住坐臥 gyojuzaga comes from Shan-tao and was quoted widely by Honen. 一心専念弥陀名号行住坐臥不問時節久近念念不捨者是名正定之業順彼仏願故 Another 一念発起 ichinenhokki comes from Tan-luan and probably became known as Shinran quoted it in the Tannisho. 一念発起入正定之衆 All said Japanese Pureland was well represented. My favourite four Kanji remain 阿弥陀仏. Stephen Thank you!
