延命地藏：順應時代的日本曹洞宗高岩寺

The Healing Jizo: Soto Zen Koganji Temple Adapting to Varying Social Conditions

德川時代日本實施寺受制度（強制平民向附近佛寺登記並締結葬儀約制），某些寺院能夠藉由提供葬儀獲得穩定的經濟收入。未能受惠於此的寺廟，則必須致力於滿足民眾世俗性的日常需求，而以具有治病等相關神蹟，信眾廣大的佛菩薩為其重要資產。本文通過比較東京曹洞宗高岩寺近代初期與後期的禮敬供養，論證高岩禪寺香火之鼎盛，除了由於該寺的延命地藏菩薩受到了跨教派跨族裔的信奉之外，寺旁地藏街市的社會與經濟環境也是主要的誘因。

With the implementation of the mandatory Buddhist temple registration system in the Tokugawa period, some Buddhist temples gained stable, economic support for providing funerary services. Without this support Buddhist temples had to focus their activities on the secular needs of the ordinary people. The popular Buddhist deities with healing powers and the associated miracles became the main asset of these temples. The paper, by comparing the early-modern and (post) modern worship at the Soto Zen Koganji temple in Tokyo shows that not only the trans-sectarian and trans-national appropriation of the popular Healing Jizo Bodhisattva helped to contribute to this Zen temple's success, but the main trigger for its success derived from its immediate social and economic surroundings in the adjacent Jizo Street market.
