Ethical Study on Genesis and Development of "Kami" and "Buddha"

为了从理论上和根本上考察日本的伦理思想，我们考察了“神”（日本的神）和“佛”这两个主要的先验范畴，重点考察了每一个概念的起源以及这两个概念的相互关系；我们以八幡心崇拜为例，作为这种相关性的一个例子。迄今为止，这项研究的结果已以文章和研究说明的形式发表，目前正在准备出版书籍。此外，我们还根据《八幡神谕集》汇编了八幡神敬拜期间收到和感知到的神谕信息和幽灵的年表，并将其发布在网上。

In order to investigate ethical thought in Japan theoretically and fundamentally, we have examined two major transcendental categories, "kami" (Japanese gods) and "Buddha", by focusing on genesis of each conception as well as on correlation of the two conceptions ; we have taken up the case of worship of Hachiman-shin as one example of such correlation. To date, the results of this research have been published in the form of articles and research notes, and book publication is now under preparation. In addition, we have compiled a chronology of oracular messages and apparitions received and perceived during worship of Hachiman-shin, based upon "Collected Oracles of Hachiman Usa-guu", and made it accessible online.
