However, the reason why he started saying "All things are perfectly resolved in the Unborn (不生)" is not clear.  This article examines thinkings by Tohju Nakae (中江藤樹,1608~1648) , Banzan Kumazawa (熊沢蕃山,1619~1691) , and Sokoh Yamaga (山鹿素行,1622~1685) , three contemporary Scholars of Wang Yang-ming Sect (陽明学) , and makes their comparison. It is particularly important to compare with what Tohju Nakae thought about the Bright Virtue.  As a conclusion, it is proper to understand that the Bright Virtue by Tohju Nakae and the Unborn Buddha Mind by Zen Master Bankei are the same with what Jaspers called the Encompassing (das Umgreifende).  This article explains the above-mentioned points by referring to various resouces.  It can be safely said that Zen Master Bankei’s achievement was a sort of culmination in one thousand years after the introduction of Buddhism into Japan.}, pages = {3--21}, title = {盤珪禅理解のために : 明徳と不生仏心}, volume = {1}, year = {} }
