Hobutsushu
The Hobutsushu (
The stories take the form of a series of discussions between a Zen monk and an audience, and are intended to guide the reader towards satori.[2] Among the subjects covered are the stories of Rama, derived from Indian and Chinese sources,[3][4] and the fate of Murasaki Shikibu, whom Taira no yasuyori condemns to hell for publishing fiction and even wrote the genji Sutra a Buddhist prayer for those that read genji monogatari and Murasaki Shikibu herself for salvation out of Buddhist hell.[5]
