The , also known as the ''Lamentations of Divergences'', is a late 13th century short Buddhist text generally thought to have been written by Yuien, a disciple of Shinran. In the ''Tannishō'', Yuien is concerned about the rising doctrinal divergences that emerged in Jōdo Shinshū Buddhism after the death of their founder, so he wrote down dialogues between himself and Shinran that he could recall when his master was alive. According to Yuien's own writing in the preface: Many of the conversations found in the ''Tannishō'' are very candid when compared to more formal religious texts, and this may explain some of the popularity of the ''Tannishō'' among Shin Buddhists. The ''Tannishō'' allows Jōdo Shinshū Buddhists to peer into the mind of Shinran and see how he felt about practicing Jōdo Shinshū. The ''Tannishō'' was also a major impetus for the start of The Dobokai Movement〔Popular Buddhism In Japan: Shin Buddhist Religion & Culture by Esben Andreasen, pp. 72/ University of Hawaii Press 1998, ISBN 0-8248-2028-2〕 among the Higashi Hongwanji branch of Jōdo Shinshū. ==Format== The ''Tannishō''〔Shojun Bandō, Harold Stewart, Ann T. Rogers, Minor L. Rogers (trans.): (Tannishō: Passages Deploring Deviations of Faith and Rennyo Shōnin Ofumi: The Letters of Rennyo ), Berkeley: Numata Center for Buddhist Translation and Research 1996. ISBN 1-886439-03-6〕 is divided into 18 sections (sometimes called ''chapters''), though many of these sections are very short. Some are no longer than a couple sentences. However, each section deals with a separate doctrinal issue. Sections 1 through 10 focus on Shinran's thoughts with regard to Jōdo Shinshū, the nembutsu and Amida Buddha, while sections 11 through 18 deal with heretical ideas that Yuien wanted to dispel or correct on the basis of what Shinran had taught him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tannishō」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
