Abstract
En 中文
There is an important colophon to Shinran's (sic)(sic) (1173-1262) Tannish & omacr; (sic)(sic)(sic)[Passages Deploring Deviations of Faith] written by Rennyo (sic)(sic)(1415-1499) where a term is used twice for sacred teachings [books]. This colophon shows that Buddhists called their important books sacred teachings [books]. Here, I introduce where the term sh & omacr;gy & omacr; comes from in the East Asian Buddhist tradition - Xuanzang (sic)(sic) (Jp. Genj & omacr;, 602-664) and his immediate disciples, including Ci'en Ji (sic)(sic)(sic) (Jp. Jion Ki, 632-682) - and how it had become a commonly used term by Buddhist scholars since the Tang (618-907) period in China, Korea, and Japan well before the time of Shinran and Rennyo.
