나쓰메 소세키(夏目漱石)의 만년(晩年)의 불도(佛道)

Abstract

Soseki has been reading the Buddhist scriptures and practicing zealos since he was a teenager with enthusiasm for enlightenment, but during his years of studying in England, he suffered a period of difficulties in studying abroad. Then, in the late years, after experiencing many things of world affairs and experiences of life and death, he feels the vanity of life, and again makes a desire for the enlightenment of Buddhism. Soseki suggests emotions at the time of his death, expressing his misery and bitterness, death and joy and sadness of life, including novels and poetry. In order to overcome the desires and conflicts arising from all the secular desires, human obsession, and the stupidity caused by them, we must establish a more active life view and liberate it with the zen. And Soseki strengthens his will for enlightenment from the point where it is less than a year before leaving the world. As can be seen from the poem Soseki leaves, he continues to devote himself to the end of the lunar year. About the subject "Hubomisyouizen honraimenmoku" which had been held since youth age It is said that "Jinryong honraimumenmoku" in the expression" I realized that it was only for me to acquire zen. Since writing this poem two months before his death, Soseki expresses that he was able to look at the outlook of a world full of agony and was most delighted in his life. Therefore, the fruit of this bulb that Soseki accomplished is a thing that can never be overlooked in his years, and I think his work world and his life are important matters to understand
