Goshuui Ojoden - Goshuui Ojoden

Japanese: 後拾遺往生伝 - ごしゅういおうじょうでん

Compiled by Miyoshi Tameyasu. After the completion of Shui Ojoden, this work was a collection of omitted passages, and was expanded and continued to be written until Tameyasu's death in 1139 (5th year of the Hōen era). It contains records of 75 deceased people (73 if duplicates are excluded). Compared to Shui Ojoden, there are fewer records from previous documents, and more from the author's own hearsay, with 54 people being from the same era. There is little change in the characteristics of the deceased, but the number of laypeople listed has increased to 33, with many of them living in rural areas, and the inclusion of Ryonin and other nembutsu practitioners at Ohara Bessho and the nembutsu group at Shitennoji Temple, showing new trends in Pure Land Buddhism during the Insei period.

Japanese:

三善為康撰。《拾遺往生伝》の完成後ひきつづいてその遺漏を集めたもので，為康の死亡する1139年(保延5)までの間，増補され書きつがれた。75人(重複を除くと73人)の往生者を収録している。《拾遺往生伝》と比較して先行文献からの収録は減少し，著者自身の伝聞によるものが増加，同時代人が54人を占めている。往生者の特色もさほど変化はないが，俗人の記載が33人と増加し，とくに地方在住者が多いこと，良忍をはじめ大原別所の念仏者や四天王寺の念仏集団がとりあげられていること等，院政期浄土教の新しい傾向を示している。
