One of the most important classificatory systems proposed by Kukai (774-835) in his system of thought is the ten stages of mind (
jujushin _??__??__??_ )system, which forms the backbone of Shingon doctrinal teachings. It is well known that Kukai established his thought on this topic in two works,
Himitsumandara jujushinron _??__??__??__??__??__??__??__??__??_ and
Hizo hoyaku _??__??__??__??_. The Tendai monk Annen _??__??_ (841-889?) criticized the ten stages of mind in his work,
Shingonshu kyojigi _??__??__??__??__??__??_. This paper will examine the Shingon reaction to that criticism in the particular form of the work,
Juju shanansho _??__??__??__??__??_. The aim of this study is to examine how
Shingonshu kyojigi was received by Shingon. A standard approach to how Shingon refuted Annen's criticism would be to use the
Daikyo yogisho _??__??__??__??__??_ of Nakanogawa Jichihan _??__??__??__??_ (?1116-1144). However, the present study purposefully chooses to examine the
Juju shanansho, of both unknown authorship and date, to grasp the later development of Jichihan's thought. First, an outline of the content will be presented. Following that, through the refutation in the
Daikyo yogisho of the five faults of the ten stages of mind (_??__??__??__??__??__??_) noted in the
Shingonshu kyojigi, along with other Shingon and Tendai works of refutation, the status of the
Juju shanansho as a work equivalent to the
Daikyo yogisho will be examined.
