Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noting that the trends of the "Jewish diaspora" and the "Gentile Jew's church movement" are deeply related to the birth of Christianity, I had published a series of books, such as "The Origins of Christianity" in 2013, "An Epic Tale of the People of the Covenant (The origin of Christianity)" in 2020 and "Birth of Judaism and eastern propagation (The origin of Christianity)" in 2022 and in 2023, I published "Lamb of Sin-offering," which explores the circumstances and how Jesus himself was involved in these trends. In addition, I released "Prince of Stable," which explains that Prince of Stable, who was expected by both forces to be the savior who would realize reconciliation between the Takamagahara clan and the immigrant clans within the Yamato Imperial Court, was a "antitype of Jesus." This time, I will focus on the introduction of Nestorian Christianity (景教Jingjiao), which became the catalyst for the rise of Zen Buddhism in China, and deliver the new book "Zen Buddhism and Nestorianism." By comparing the contents of the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Epistles of Paul with the Kosoku koans(古則公案), I would like to explore, together with the readers(you), the Genjo koans(現成公案) that Jesus presented to us. Incidentally, subjects which Zen masters give their students in the meditation hall are called "Koan(公案)," the "Zen Questions and Answers" of the predecessors recorded in the Koan Roku(record books of Koan) are called "Kosoku Koan(古則公案)," and the current problems faced by the people in the real world are called "Genjo-koan(現成公案)."
