According to Mahayana Buddhism, Shakamuni-butsu (Shakanyorai) is one of the immeasurable Buddhas at the ten directions (east, south, west and north, each midpoint, up and down) and three worlds (past, future and present) as well as a Buddha in this corrupt world. 大乗仏教では、釈迦牟尼仏(釈迦如来)は十方(東南西北とその中間である四隅の八方と上下)三世(過去、未来、現在)の無量の諸仏の一仏で、現在の娑婆(サハー、堪忍世界)の仏である。 |
