An impure world full of impurity. In Buddhism, it refers to the Three Realms and Six Paths, or the Saha world, which includes the human world we live in. Originally, Buddhism was thoroughly pessimistic, viewed the secular world negatively, and idealized the state of Nirvana. This position of negation of reality developed into the idea of denying the real world, full of suffering and contradictions, being averse to it, and seeking an ideal other world (Pure Land) full of comfort in Mahayana Buddhism, especially in Pure Land thought. In Genshin's Ojoyoshu, this idea is explained with the expression "Abhorring the impure world, seeking the Pure Land."

穢(けがれ)に満ちた不浄な世界のこと。仏教では、それはわれわれの住むこの人間世界を含んだ三界六道(さんがいりくどう)すなわち娑婆(しゃば)世界をいう。仏教は本来、徹底した厭世(えんせい)観にたち、世俗の世界を否定的に考え、涅槃(ねはん)の境地を理想とした。このような現実否定の立場は、大乗仏教、とくに浄土思想において、苦悩や矛盾に満ちた現実の世界を否定し、厭(いと)い、安楽に満ちた理想的な別の世界(浄土)を求めるという思想に発展した。源信の『往生要集』には「厭離穢土(おんりえど)、欣求浄土(ごんぐじょうど)」という表現でその思想が説かれている。 [辛嶋静志] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
