On the Japanese Zen Master to visit to Song China and Their Inner world in Perspective of Religious Studies

一般来说，一个宗教人士的思想形成与他的生活经历密切相关。如果我们要从学术的角度来研究一个宗教人士的思想，那么我们就必须研究他的生活经历是如何塑造他的思想的。本研究的第一部分系统地考察了卫材恩尼和道根的人生经历、他们来华前的成就、他们来华后的求知过程、他们回国的时间以及回国后的活动。所有这些都是基于禅宗水貂现存的传记和关于他们生活的说法，包括他们那个时代的事件，他去中国朝圣之前的事件，朝圣本身，以及他们返回日本后的时代和事件。一般来说，任何关于某人被认为创立了一个教派的叙述都必然包含神话的成分。随着时间的推移，新的项目和内容被添加到这些传记中。

Generally speaking, the formation of a religious person's thought is intimately tied to his life experiences. If we are going to investigate the thought of a religious person from an academic standpoint then we must examine how experiences in his life came to shape his thinking.In Part I of this Research systematically examines Eisai Enni and Dogen's life experience, Their achievements before Their pilgrimage to China, the process of Their seeking enlightenment after Their pilgrimage, the time of Their return to Japan, and Their activities after returning. All of this is based on Zen Minks's extant biographies and what has been said about Their life, including the events of Their time, events prior to his pilgrimage to China, the pilgrimage itself, and the times and events of Japan after their return. Generally speaking, any account of someone who is credited with founding a sect is bound to contain an element of myth. Over time new items and content are added to these biographies.
