The whole subject of the symposium is "Philosophy and Religion in Nishida,"and it is the task imposed on me to approach the subject and bring up what problems there are about it in terms of Shin Buddhism. For that purpose, I tried to think about the theme from three following points : (1) The Fundamental Understanding of Philosophy and Religion in Nishida, (2) The Definition of Religion, Religious Awareness and the Whereabouts of Religious Problems in Nishida, and (3) The Characteristic of Nishida's View of Shinran or Shin Buddhism and its Meaning. The points of(1) and (2) are what we should know by all means in order to discuss the problem of philosophy and religion in Nishida, therefore I dealt with them to confirm that. As for the point (3), I examined how Nishida grasped the religious essence of Shinran or Shin Buddhism, focusing on Shinran's words of "Ōchō", "Jinenhōni", "Ginaki-o-gitosu"and "Myōgō"which express the core of Shin Buddhism, and are the fundamental words. As a result, it turned out that Nishida considered the essence of Shin Buddhism as teachings of salvation by faith in Amidabha's absolute power (Other Power) with great compassion, (Zettai-higan-no-tariki-shu). Through the examination, we could simultaneously not only explicate the characteristic and significance of Nishida's view of Shinran or Shin Buddhism but also present some meaningful matters on philosophy and religion in Nishida. Going right to the point, real teachings of absolute Other Power can be grasped and explained only by "fact of spiritual self-awareness"and "place-logic", and never by abstract subject and objective logic. In such a way, therefore, philosophy and religion can deepen and develop themselves more through the mediacy of the other, and in this sense both would be able to be complementary to each other. We here find a great possibility and meaning of Nishida Philosophy as philosophy of religion.

In general, Suzuki Daisetsu is known well as a man of Zen Buddhism. However, he had also deep concern and understanding about Shin Buddhism, and taught us much of it. The aim of this paper is inquiring into his thought of the Land of Purity. For that, we approached this matter from the following three points of view: First in the section 1, we inquired into how Daisetsu saw Teaching of the Land of Purity in the whole history of Buddhism. In other words, his positioning of Pure Land Buddhism and its view-point were cleared up. Secondly in the section 2, the fundamental standpoint and distinctive features of his understanding and interpretation about Shin Buddhism doctrine were examined and explained. Finally, Daisetsu’s own thought of the Land of Purity was investigated. What should be here paid attention to is the following two things: His own thought of the Land of Purity is distinguished from his understanding or views of Shin Buddhism doctrine, and it means the thought of Pure Land Buddhism which Daisetsu himself had grasped. Another is that the idea of the Land of Purity, Birth in Amida’s Land of Purity, the relationship of the Land of Purity to the world, and Recitation of Amida’s name i.e. to say ‘Namu Amidabutsu’ are main problems there. On one hand, his such thought of the Land of Purity discovered the universal significance and possibility of Myokonin’s religious experiences, on the other hand it was more concreted and deepened through his encounter with them.
