Dear H-Buddhism Members,
I have recently uploaded a
Condensed Visual Classroom Guide titled
:
Thirteen Buddhist Deities of Japan
Exploring Their Origins & Roles in Japanese Death Rites & Funerary
Art
Summary: The
Thirteen Buddhist Deities (Jūsanbutsu 十三仏) are a purely Japanese convention.
The standardized group of thirteen emerged in the mid-14th century, but in its
formative years (12th & 13th centuries), the group's composition varied
significantly and included only ten, eleven, or twelve members. The group is
important to all schools of Japanese Buddhism. Even today, the thirteen are
invoked at thirteen postmortem rites held by the living for the dead, and at
thirteen premortem rites held by the living for the living. As shown herein,
the thirteen are associated with the Seven Seventh-Day Rites 七七斎, the Six
Realms of Karmic Rebirth 六道, the Buddhas of the Ten Days of Fasting 十斎日仏, the
Ten Kings of Hell 十王, the Secret Buddhas of the Thirty Days of the Month 三十日秘仏,
and other groupings. The Thirteen provide early examples of Japan's medieval
honji-suijaku 本地垂迹 paradigm, wherein local deities (suijaku) are recognized as
avatars of the Buddhist deities (honji). This classroom guide is unique in
three ways: (1) it presents
over 70 annotated images, arranged chronologically and thematically, from the
12th to 20th century, including extant art outside Japan; (2) it offers four
methods to easily identify the individual deities; and (3) it provides visual
evidence that the thirteen are configured to mimic the layout of the central
court of the Womb World Mandala 中台八葉院. █ KEYWORDS. 十三仏 or 十三佛・十王・七七斎・七七日・中有・中陰・六齋日・六道 ・十斎日仏・三十日秘仏・本地垂迹
