Hiroaki Collection - Gumyoushu

Japanese: 弘明集 - ぐみょうしゅう
Hiroaki Collection - Gumyoushu

A collection of Buddhist treatises from the Liang dynasty in China. 14 volumes. Edited by Sengyou (445-518) of the Liang dynasty, who also compiled the Chinese translation of the Buddhist scriptures, the Tripitaka Records. After its introduction into China, early Buddhism was always looked down upon and rejected as the religion of barbarians in China, where Confucianism was prevalent. Before Buddhism was established as the religion of the Chinese people, many treatises on the relationship between the three religions, including Confucianism and Taoism, were published. Sengyou's position was that "the Way is propagated by people, and the teachings are made clear by writing," and he compiled representative discussions in this book with the goal of protecting the law. This is a valuable collection of materials that is indispensable for elucidating early Chinese Buddhism.

Japanese:

中国、梁(りょう)代の仏教論集。14巻。漢訳仏典目録『出三蔵記集』の編者でもある梁の僧祐(そうゆう)(445―518)の編集。中国伝入以後の初期の仏教は、儒教の盛行する中国においてつねに夷狄(いてき)の教として蔑視(べっし)され、排斥されることが多かった。仏教が中国人の宗教として定着するまでには、儒教、道教を含めて、三教交渉に関する論著が多く公表された。僧祐は「道は人によって(ひろ)められ、教は文によってらかにされる」との立場により、護法の目的をもって代表的な議論を集録したのが本書である。初期中国仏教の解明には不可欠の貴重な資料集である。
