Keiki Nakayama ｜ Research Fellow ｜ Indian Buddhism
My research interests are the Buddhist doctrine of “諸行無常 (shogyō-mujō, the impermanence of all things),” which is deeply rooted in the psyche of the Japanese people. I attempt to clarify how the doctrine is applied in Buddhist practice. In particular, focusing on the Yogācāra school, which was one of the two major schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism in the history of Indian Buddhism, I study the observation of impermanence in their meditation practice (yoga) that they put emphasis on.
