The Twin Miracle
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter examines the Ryōzu Aizen icon, a combination of two Wisdom Kings, and its possible connections to possession and exorcism rituals at thirteenth-century Kōyasan, a major community of Shingon monks. This icon appears to be unique to Japanese tantric Buddhism and has been used by the Shingon school. An examination of a branch-exclusive oracular text produced by the Chūin-ryū reveals that at Kōyasan it seems to have been ritually employed in an attack in 1242 on a rival within the community, during a period of sectarian conflict. The possible meanings of Ryōzu Aizen, as expressed in the branch’s texts, are explored along with an explanation of origins, its demonic and demon-slaying associations, and its transmission to Kōyasan.
