「沙門法蔵 捨テ身ナル」

           柳宗悦『心偈』

 Hozo-bosatsu was throwing hisself away.

Hozo-bosatsu is a name before Amida Buddha. 

"Daimuryojyukyo" has a detailed knowledge of the story.

The bodhisattva cherish a great desire to save the masses. And he swear to attain perfect enlightenment  without the prayer is filled.

He repeat ascetic practices to achieve a prayer at the risk of his life.

Buddha practices like a surging wave to reach his soundless state. 

People shouldn't miss this only the story of Hozo-bosatsu.

What is the sign He Hozo-bosatsu has?

It is throwing himself to all men.

But we must not to admire him who is separate of mankind.

We also shouldn’t  take him fictional person.

He is him all people like it.

There is prototype of human being.

All the people has a hidden Buddhist name of Hozo.

From this it shows the way of us that we should choose.
