| Итог: | As the founder of the Pure Land School, Hōnen (1133-1212) had a profound impact on the doctrines of the medieval period. His teachings on the exclusive selection of invocational nenbutsu generated a new doctrinal matrix with far-reaching social and theological implications. Less well understood is the relation between Hōnen and the visual images of Pure Land Buddhism. A fresh examination of Hōnen's writings illuminates the monk's novel interpretation of a key soteriological icon: the paintings of Amida's welcoming descent with his celestial assembly. Special attention is given to the Gōshō mandara and its role both as a manifestation of Hōnen's doctrines and as a prototype for later paintings of Amida's welcoming descent with twenty-five bodhisattvas. |
