Abstract
Living religion as opposite to the philosophy’s timelessness compels us consider the interrelations between religious and political institutions, doctrines and rites mediated by the religious lives of the actual people. Peculiarly since the sources’ range has expanded including the popular references, rite manuals, rural residents’ diaries, government registers, and stone signposts one should integrate a triad of ideas, institutions, and rituals. Priority should be given to the study of Buddhists rather than the study of Buddhism. In more sophisticated terms one should study human lives as compliments to the ideas which drove them. Meanwhile the people located in the center of research are by no means supernatural nor superordinate monks registered in the annals of the Zen history.

Keywords: history, Japan, practice, rite, temple, Tokugawa, Zen
