Words after leaving the comfort of one's own home

It is also read as "Shutsujo Kogo." It is a book of anti-Buddhist arguments from the mid-Edo period. It is in two volumes. The first volume has 13 chapters, and the second volume has 12 chapters. It was written by Tominaga Nakamoto in 1744 (Enkyo 1). It analyzes and criticizes Buddhist scriptures, discusses the essence and history of Buddhism, and rejects Mahayana Buddhism. First, it claims that Buddhist scriptures were not preached by Shakyamuni, but were all created by later generations, and many were written by people 500 years after the death of Buddha. It also claims that both modern Buddhism and Confucianism are ultimately ethical and there is no superiority or inferiority. Furthermore, it rejects the ugly sectarian conflicts between Buddhist sects, saying that they all have the same goal of "doing good," and also rejects the sectarian nature of Buddhism. Shutsujo means returning to normal conditions from the state of meditation. Here, the title of the book is given to mean leaving Buddhism and criticizing it objectively.

「しゅつじょうこうご」とも読む。江戸時代中期の排仏論の書。2巻。上巻は13章、下巻は12章からなる。1744年（延享1）富永仲基(とみながなかもと)の著述。仏教経典を分析批判し、仏教の本質と歴史を論じて大乗仏教を否定した。まず、仏教経典は釈迦(しゃか)が説いたものではなく、すべて後世の者の作為であり、多くは仏滅500年後の人の作であるとする。また現在の仏教も儒教も終局的にはいずれも倫理であり優劣はない、とする。さらに仏教各宗派の対立も「善をなす」点では同じ目的であるとして醜い宗派間の争いを否定するとともに、その宗派性も否定した。出定とは禅定の境地から平常の状況に戻ること。ここでは仏教を離れて客観的に批判するの意味で書名がつけられている。
