Cremation. A transliteration of the Pali word jhāpeti (to burn, to burn). This funeral method was adopted primarily by Buddhists in ancient India, and the custom of respecting the remains and holding ceremonies arose, and later spread to areas where Buddhism had spread. The remains of the founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni, were cremated, and eight of his remains were divided and enshrined. In Japan, when Buddhism was introduced, cremation was first practiced for monks (first by Dosho in 700), and later spread to emperors (first by Jito in 703) and Buddhist aristocrats, bringing about a change in the ancient funeral and burial system.

火葬のこと。パーリ語ジャーペーティjhāpeti(燃やす、焚(た)く)の音写。古来インドで主として仏教徒の採用した葬法で、その遺骨を尊重して祀祭(しさい)する風習がおこり、のちには仏教の伝播(でんぱ)した地域に広く行われた。教祖釈尊(しゃくそん)自身の遺骸(いがい)は荼毘に付され、その遺骨は八分されて祀(まつ)られた。日本では仏教の伝来につれて、まず僧侶(そうりょ)の火葬がなされ(700年、道昭が最初)、のちに天皇(703年、持統(じとう)帝が最初)や貴族の仏教徒の間にこれが広まり、古来の葬送墓制に変革をもたらした。 [森 祖道] 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 |
