This paper clarifies one aspect of the relationship between the section on Other-Power 他力 and the section on the One Vehicle in the chapter on practice (‘Gyō no maki’ 行巻) in the Kyōgyōshinshō 教行信証. Focusing on the quotation of a passage by Yuanzhao 元照, this paper argues that Shinran offers a passage from the Buddhāvataṃsaka-sūtra, which is quoted in both the section on Other-Power and the section on the One Vehicle, as the “realization of awakening” in the Pure Land. It also argues that Shinran offers the single path (ichidō 一道) as the path based on the power of Amida Nyorai’s Original Vow by quoting a passage from the Buddhāvataṃsaka-sūtra first in the section on Other-Power and then in the section on the One Vehicle.
