➠ Binding vow and invoking Fudō in Pure Land Buddhism:

I have been seeing posts on the nature of binding vows since Chapter 258, so I decided to share my notes on it in hopes they could be of use to a fellow reader.

Considering Akutami Gege’s consistency in incorporating practices and beliefs of different Buddhist schools into the storyline, personally, performing a binding vow reminds me of the process of invoking Fudō, as well as Amitābha’s ‘Primal Vow’. Here, I am specifically addressing the vows made with oneself as I believe they are significantly different from the vows made with others.

Fudō is an esoteric Buddhist deity for rebirth (from Pure Land worship). He was invoked by reciting his incantation as a deathbed practice to attain proper mindfulness at death allowing rebirth into the Pure Land, particularly Miroku’s Heaven, from the late Heian into the Kamakura period. He is a manifestation of the cosmic Buddha Dainichi (大日, Mahāvairocana) sent to assist Buddhist practitioners and to arrest those who would impede the Buddhist path. Fudō was most popular among the nobility for his efficacy in propitious birth, restoration of health and resurrection from death, and the subjugation of adversaries.

He is associated with the ‘Mantra of Compassionate Help’, which helps remove the hindrances at death. The mantra loosely translates as “Homage to the All-Encompassing Vajra, the Manifestation of Great Wrath. Eliminate [all hindrances].”

There are different instances of invoking Fudō. The first one is, invoking him for Miroku’s Heaven. It is related to Sōō, a monk of the Tendai school. According to the legend, while Sōō was performing ascetic practices before a waterfall on the Katsuragawa river, he prayed to Fudō to take him to Miroku’s Heaven. Fudō did indeed carry Sōō to Miroku’s Heaven, but when they arrived at the gate to the inner palace, Sōō was not allowed in because he could not yet recite the Lotus Sutra from memory. But when Sōō later recited the Lotus Sutra before the image of Fudō at his temple, he was able to gain entry.

The second one is invoking Fudō at Death. According to the court diary Chūyūki (中右記) by Fujiwara no Munetada (藤原宗忠), Emperor Horikawa on his death bed, “first chanted the titles of the larger Hannya and Lotus sutras, as well as the august name of the venerable Fudō; then chanted the august names of Śākya[muni] and [A]mida and faced the west.”

There is another story, according to which there was a sculpture of Fudō in Nara that used to appear to a nun at Higashiyama in Kyoto because she recited Fudō’s Mantra of Compassionate Help twenty-one times every day praying for proper mindfulness at death. In the time of death, when she became seriously ill, she put her hands together to form Fudō’s mudra and seated properly, her breath stopped, and without sickness, she came to the end with proper mindfulness. Here it is noteworthy that she was a member of the Ungoji nenbutsu group.

Additionally, it is useful to look into the concept of ‘Primal Vow or Fundamental Vow (本願, hongan)’, which in Japanese Pure Land Buddhism is the 18th vow that is part of a series of 48 vows that Amitābha made in the Infinite Life Sutra that in certain aspects (depending on the school) can be connected with invoking Fudō.

Nenbutsu is the invocation ‘namu amida butsu’ (南無阿弥陀仏, ‘I take my refuge in the Buddha Amitābha’) chanted in the hope of rebirth into Amida's Pure Land. It is important to note that Nenbutsu were not only directed to Amitābha but other Buddhas as well. Myōe, a famous priest of the Kegon school, is known to have invoked Fudō on his deathbed seeking rebirth in Miroku’s Heaven. It is said that at the time of Myōe’s death, “two or three times he intoned the invocation Namu Miroku Bosatsu, raising his hands in prayer and devoutly reciting the nenbutsu.”

The sutra reads: “If, when I attain Buddhahood, sentient beings in the lands of the ten quarters who sincerely and joyfully entrust themselves to me, desire to be born in my land, and call my Name, even ten times, should not be born there, may I not attain perfect Enlightenment.”

In the sutra, we see clearly what Amitābha’s ‘exchange’ is: “If they should not be born there, may I not attain perfect Enlightenment.” The vow is made at the risk of not being able to attain Enlightenment. Personally, it directly relates to the binding vow made with oneself in JJK: give up something, gain something; or, break the binding vow, lose what you have gained. Nanami is the easiest example to understand in this regard. His binding vow limits the amount of cursed energy he can access to about 80-90% while on the clock. Once his normal shift ends and he begins working overtime, Nanami’s cursed energy increases and by invoking Overtime, he is able to utilise 110-120% of his maximum power. He gains something while giving up something in exchange, and if he were to break the vow, he would lose what he has gained.

The practice itself is complex and depending on the accounts (and the schools) can be different, but personally, I can see how it could relate to the concept of binding vows made with oneself in JJK. In exchange for ‘devotion’, one can invoke the help of Fudō, who by landing his strength can help the invoker overcome the hindrance or the adversity they are facing. When summed up in this simple way, it does resonate with the concept of the binding vow made with oneself. Although the conditions naturally have to be completely different (i.e. what ‘devotion’ entails in JJK terms).

It might offer us a bit of perspective on why Sukuna seems the most efficient (well-versed) in performing the binding vow as well. We see from the examples I provided that invoking Fudō requires the knowledge of certain sutras and a long period of practice. Sukuna, coming from the Heian period (assuming that binding vows were more common like the practice of invoking Fudō that declined over time and is almost extinct in the modern day), would have been able to accumulate such knowledge and would be more familiar with the process of invoking it than your average modern-day sorcerer. He may as well have an understanding of ‘incantations’ that might otherwise not have survived the time.

Considering Akutami Gege’s incorporation of Buddhist practices, personally, it might not be too far off that he might have drawn inspiration from combining the two when creating the concept of binding vows.

I will not reach you. 君には届かない。Ep 5

Yes I'd resolved to refer to it as "Won't get through to you" from now on but unforch I don't think folks will know what I'm talking about.

Dailymotion user BetterBL came through with the raws, so here we go!

oh, perspective switch!

I wouldn't have believed it either if I were the teacher

Ahaha Hosaka, you GREMLIN. I'd assume you're trying to provoke them but I don't think that's it.

Oh god, Kakeru really did lick his lips there, didn't he.

adsfadf EVERYONE's noticing, this is incredible

Kakeru you're such a dumdum. takeyabu, chikurin, oh god how do I translate that.

oh god these two

is Kakeru's hair darker this ep than it was?

Oh Kakeru, you know that Hosaka got on Yamato's case for yanking you around?

Oh, now they're fighting

Oh Fujino, read the room

these two are so cute and Kakeru is clearly SUPER not feeling it

oh noooo

oh god these two DISASTER BOYS

but also can I just say I hate meddling friends? I HATE THEM. I also used to have this one friend group that kept trying to set me up with random people and I hated it.

god Kakeru you keep telling this girl who's CLEARLY crushing on you about your best friend

Hosaka and Amamiya … Hosaka's trying to be diplomatic so hard.

Yamato's so cute like this, wow. Also that's (part of) Togetsukyo in the background already, they're sitting on the South bank of Katsuragawa near the Monkey park! which makes ZERO sense the way the rest of the sightseeing thing was framed, he'll have to cross the bridge to get to the bamboo grove in the first place.

god the comphet

I kinda like that they're … we've established that the're not friends with Yamato yet, really, but they're clearly willing to be

Wow okay, Hosaka's had it with diplomacy. He really doesn't hold back when things need saying, huh. Who hurt you, Hosaka??

I feel kinda bad for Akane, ngl. Also I cannot figure out where they are and it's driving me nuts – I'd assume Gion, maybe Ninenzaka? but I cannot tell.

Dramatic hair pin drop!

oh, that's the one she bought at the shop that day, huh.

aaah I MISS Arashiyama, goddamn

the sound here is not capturing the eerie noises swaying bamboo makes and that's a bit of a waste imo

I'm not sure that's the side Yamato would be turning onto the bridge from, coming from the grove? I think he'd be on the right side of the road … ah well, peanuts, this works

I miss Arashiyama T_T I have a picture of myself standing maybe 5-10 metres closer to the end of the bridge from where Yamato is standing when Kakeru runs up to him here, and it's one of my favourites to this day.

Oh Kakeru

KISS!!! in broad daylight and surrounded by tourists! (who are not in the shot, I know, but STILL) (also I'm very confused because if they're still on the side of the river they just were on, that's the rising sun, but … okay okay shutting up)

ah, here it is again, one of my least favourite harmless tropes, but I can deal

oh no, sudden unconsciousness is never good.

Going by the preview, next week's episode looks like a RIDE, let's hope they stick the landing.

I had an incredible sense of nostalgia this episode, stronger still than for last week's. Well done, show.
