Kōsai (幸西, 1163 – May 20, 1247) was a former monk of the Tendai Buddhist sect and controversial disciple of Hōnen who advocated the ichinen-gi (一念義, "Single recitation doctrine") that led to his public censure, his later expulsion by Hōnen and eventual exile to Shikoku. Kōsai taught that one recitation of Amitabha Buddha's name, the nembutsu, would be sufficient for rebirth in the Pure Land, and that further recitations would indicate a lack of faith on the part of the believer. Thus, he taught a path strictly based on faith without any Buddhist practice, which drew criticism from established Buddhist sects at the time, and even Hōnen's other disciples.

After Hōnen's primary patron, Kujō Kanezane complained in a letter to Hōnen expressing confusion, Hōnen censured Kōsai, and asked his other disciples to sign a seven-article pledge agreeing to adhere to wholesome Buddhist conduct, as well as not slandering other teachings. Unrepentant, Kōsai, continued to teach his doctrine, and like other disciples, was exiled from Kyoto in 1207 during the . Kōsai continued to teach the single-recitation method of Pure Land Buddhism in Shikoku, and gathered other followers before his sect was discredited and died out. Among his harshest and most vocal critics was Benchō, another disciple of Hōnen. (en)
  • Kōsai (幸西), 1163 - 20 mai 1247, est un ancien moine de la secte bouddhiste Tendai et disciple controversé de Hōnen, partisan du ichinen-gi (一念義, « Doctrine de simple récitation ») qui conduit à sa censure publique, son expulsion ultérieure par Hōnen et à terme son exil dans l'île Shikoku. Kōsai enseigne qu'une récitation du nom d'Amitabha Buddha, e nembutsu, suffit pour renaître dans la Terre Pure et que d'autres récitations indiqueraient un manque de foi de la part du croyant. Il enseigne ainsi un chemin strictement basé sur la foi sans aucune pratique bouddhiste, ce qui attire les critiques des sectes bouddhistes établies à l'époque et même d'autres disciples de Hōnen. Après que Fujiwara no Kanezane, principal protecteur de Hōnen, s'est plaint dans une lettre à celui-ci où il exprime sa confusion, Hōnen censure kōsai et demande à ses autres disciples de signer une promesse en sept articles d'accepter de se conformer à une conduite bouddhiste saine, ainsi que de pas calomnier d'autres enseignements. Impénitent, kōsai continue à enseigner sa doctrine et comme d'autres disciples, est exilé de Kyoto en 1207 au cours de la « persécution Karoku ». Kōsai continue à enseigner la méthode de simple récitation de la Terre Pure à Shikoku, et rassemble d'autres disciples avant que sa secte ne soit discréditée et s'éteigne. Parmi ses critiques les plus sévères et les plus virulents se trouve Benchō, autre disciple de Hōnen. (fr)
