Hesychasmos (English spelling) hēsychasmos [Greek]

Japanese: ヘシュカスモス(英語表記)hēsychasmos[ギリシア]
Hesychasmos (English spelling) hēsychasmos [Greek]
A mystical sect that arose around Mount Athos toward the end of the Byzantine Empire. The name means "quietism." The goal was to create a state of inner serenity (hesychia) through physical control similar to Indian yoga and the endless repetition of Jesus' prayer, and to become one with God by seeing with the naked eye God's "uncreated light" (the light that the disciples saw at the Transfiguration of Christ). This method of training became popular among the monks of Mount Athos in the 14th century and attracted the attention of others. In the first half of the 14th century, Barlaam, a monk from Calabria in southern Italy who was educated in Western theology, fiercely attacked Hesychasmos on the grounds that he was suspected of heresy, sparking a major controversy.

Japanese:
ビザンティン帝国の末期にアトス山を中心におこった神秘主義思想。〈静寂主義〉の意。インドのヨーガに似た肉体統制とイエスの祈りの無限の反復によって,心の平静(ヘシュキア)の状態を作りだし,神の〈非創造の光〉(キリスト変容の際,弟子が見たという光)を肉眼で見て,神と合一することを目標とする。このような修行方法は14世紀にアトス山の修道士のあいだで盛んになり,人々の注目を引いた。それに対して,南イタリアのカラブリア出身で,西方神学の素養のある修道士バルラアムBarlaamが,14世紀前半に,ヘシュカスモスには異端の疑いがあるとして激しく攻撃し,大論争となった。
