Mappo Toumyoki

Japanese: 末法灯明記 - まっぽうとうみょうき
Mappo Toumyoki
Buddhist books from the Heian period
Volume 1. It states that in the Latter Days of the Law, even monks and nuns who break the precepts or have no precepts are treasures that should be protected. The ideas in this book have had a great impact on the Buddhist world. It is said to have been written by Saicho, but there are ideological contradictions with Saicho's other works, and it is likely a forgery from the mid-Heian period.

Japanese:
平安時代の仏教書
1巻。末法の世においては破戒無戒の僧尼も擁護されるべき宝だと述べている。本書の思想が仏教界に与えた影響は大きい。最澄撰と伝えられるが,最澄の他の著作と思想的矛盾があり,平安中期の偽作らしい。
