Abstract
Kogyo Daishi Kakuban's (1095-1143) Gorin kuji myo himitsushaku is often interpreted as the work in which he try to synthesize Shingon esoteric Buddhism and Pure land Buddhism. But how did he do it? In this paper, through analyzing the relation between chapter about the gorin (_??__??_) and chapter about the kuji (_??__??_) in the Gorin kuji myo himitsushaku, I consider how Kakuban assimilated Pure land Buddhism into Shingon esoteric Buddhism.
