| Abstract |
This article discusses seminars called kōden held for priests of the Shingon school and how their ritual roles and the way they identify with lineages hinges on formative influences received during su...ch initiation-lectures. An investigation into the contents of these seminars leads to a more profound understanding of the roles and identities of these priests in present-day Japan. The first sentence of the Hizōki, the title of the Dainichikyō, appears in the Hizōki kōden; it serves here as an example of how various topics can be debated, how commentaries can be arranged, and how interpretations particular to lineages are developed. A combination of historical precedents with traditional (lineage) accents and modern-day investigations and discussions form the core of the seminars. The logic systems and tools introduced during these seminars can also be studied as a distinguishing feature among ritual lineages.show more
