Abstract
The Kegon _??__??_ school based at the temple Yakushiji _??__??__??_ had from the time of Choro _??__??_ clearly evolved through a strained relationship in terms of philosophical thinking with the Kegon school based at Todaiji _??__??__??_, and this continued during the time of Choro's disciple Gisho _??__??_. The Gokyosho chukan shuji gi shiki _??__??__??__??__??__??__??__??__??__??_, a manuscript preserved at Todaiji, contains passages from Gisho's no-longer-extant Shuji gi shiki _??__??__??__??__??_ in which a monastery superior (jogo _??__??_) thought to correspond to Choro is quoted fourteen times. In this paper, I examine the meaning of “dependent on conditions” with regard to “coexistence” in the six kinds of causes. As a result, it has become clear that, according to Choro, result and condition are deemed to be identical, and this interpretation differs from the position of the Kegon school at Todaiji, which interpreted “dependent on conditions” in terms of the three kinds of conditions. Lastly, I suggest that this view of Choro's may have derived from the thought of Uisang _??__??_ of Silla _??__??_.
