常識の嘘 普化宗など存在しなかった。
禅宗には、臨済宗と曹洞宗、黄檗宗、そして普化宗の4 つがあり、
虚無僧は普化宗の僧侶です」と中学の教科書にまで書いてある。
インターネットで関連サイトを見ても、すべてこう書いてある。
「虚無僧は、中国の普化(フケ)という禅僧を祖とする普化宗で、
日本には、鎌倉時代、紀州由良興国寺の法灯国師心地覚心が
伝えた」と。
みな間違い、大嘘だ。

虚無僧は、剃髪もせず、得度受戒もせず、僧籍も無いのだから、
僧ではない。
「僧であって僧でない」。
まるで禅問答である。
"A Common Sense Lie: Nothing like a 'Fuke-shū' ever existed."
"It is written in Japanese junior high school textbooks that (quotation),
'Within the Zen sect, there are 4 sects, namely the Rinzai Sect and the Sōtō Sect, the Ōbaku Sect, as well as the Fuke Sect;
the 'komusō' are Buddhist priests [sōryo] of the Fuke Sect.'
Also, when looking at related internet sites, it generally reads as follows:
'As for the 'komusō', the founder of the Fuke Sect was the Chinese Zen monk Fuke;
the tradition was transmitted to Japan by Hottō Kokushi Shinchi Kakushin of the Kōkoku Temple
in Yura in the Ki Province [present Wakayama Prefecture]."
This is all wrong, a big lie [taisō/ō-uso].'
