Abū Yazīd al-Bisāmī (English spelling)

Japanese: ビスターミー - びすたーみー(英語表記)Abū Yazīd al-Bisāmī
Abū Yazīd al-Bisāmī (English spelling)

An early Islamic mystic (Sufi), also known as Bastard al-Basāmī. He spent most of his life in the mountains of Tabaristan in Persia, where he gazed into his inner self through a life of strict asceticism. He was characterized by the dissolution of created nature, which ultimately nullified his own selfhood, in order to confirm the absolute oneness of God. In a state of ecstasy, he uttered the words "Glory be to me," an expression that only God is permitted to use, and was often criticized in later generations. Some scholars believe that he was influenced by Indian thought.

初期イスラムの神秘家(スーフィー)。バスターミーal-Basāmīともいう。生涯の大半をペルシアのタバリスターンの山中で過ごし、徹底した禁欲生活を通して自己の内面を凝視した。神の絶対的な唯一性を確証するために、自らの自己性をも最後には無とするような被造性の解体が彼の特徴である。神にしか許されない表現である「我に栄光あれ」ということばを忘我の境地で口にし、後世しばしば批判された。彼にインド思想の影響を考える学者もいる。
