摘要
日本中世的世界观是宗教的时空观之下的世界认识。其中比较有代表性的是基于佛教须弥山说的“三国世界观”和源于两界曼荼罗思想的密教世界观。二者与本土的神祇信仰相结合,使日本克服了因“末法”“边土”的佛教时空观而产生的自卑意识,逐步获得了佛教地理空间观念的中心地位。日本被塑造为大日如来的佛国“密严净土”,对天皇、日本、中国和印度的认识都被密教化,形成了一种以天皇、日本为中心的世界认识。
The world view in Medieval Japan was based on the religious view of time and space.The most important of these were the“Three Kingdoms Thought”which derived from Buddhist geography,and the world view of the Mandala of the Two Realms based on Esoteric Buddhism.This allowed Japan to become the center of the Buddhist geography.Japan was considered to be the Buddhakṣetra of Mahāvairocana,and an esoteric world view centered on the emperor of Japan was formed.
