...A famous layperson in the Mahayana sutras is Vimalakirti, the protagonist of the Vimalakirti Sutra, in which famous monks who were direct disciples of Shakyamuni are subjected to scathing criticism from the standpoint of emptiness by the layperson Vimalakirti. Mahayana sutras also often contain the words good men (kulaputra) and good women (kuladuhitṛ), meaning men and women of good family background, and it can be inferred that these various laypeople were the main carriers of Mahayana Buddhism. [Kato Junsho] *Some of the glossaries that mention "kuladuhitṛ" are listed below. Source | Heibonsha World Encyclopedia 2nd Edition | Information |
…大乗経典の中で居士として有名な人物は《維摩経》の主人公の維摩であり,釈尊の直弟子の著名な出家者たちが,在家の維摩居士により空の立場から痛烈な批判を浴びるという内容である。また大乗経典にはしばしば,良い家柄の男女を意味する善男子(クラプトラkulaputra)・善女人(クラドゥヒトリkuladuhitṛ)の語がみられ,これら種々の在家者が大乗仏教の主たる担い手であったことが推察される。【加藤 純章】 ※「kuladuhitṛ」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
