The article takes up the problem of the structure of the last work of Mishima Yukio, the tetralogy Hōjō no umi (The Sea of Fertility). The book is considered to be Mishima’s opus magnum and his literary testament for the next generations. The article focuses on the Buddhist concept of transmigration which seems to be the writer’s structural trick on readers, a kind of perversive play in which the readers are not able to judge whether Mishima really believes in the concept of transmigration (jap. tenshō, sanskr. saṃsāra) or he is only mocking. Why did Mishima make this particular concept the axis of his book? The article aims at giving the answer to this question and suggests that the ultimate conclusion is yuishiki “consciousness only” (sanskr. vijñapti-mātratā).

At the end of the article, the author draws conclusions about the need to differentiate the general and particular applications of these concepts in comparative studies on religion, as well as about the variability and heterogeneity of approaches to the consideration of the Buddhist worldview within the Buddhist traditions.

The author confronts Samuel Beckett’s works with selected concepts of Eastern philosophy. The article expands previous research conducted by Piotr Dariusz Klimczak, contained in his thesis “Theatre of the Absurd. Thanathic Trilogy” and is based on the hypothesis that Beckett’s dramas and novels, as ones which arise on the existential philosophical discourse background, can in an indirect way transmit the basic doctrines of Buddhism and Hinduism, though not without some shifts to the original philosophical system. The author, unlike in Lidan Lin and Pavneet Kaur studies which consider Artur Schopenhauer as the main East West connecting link, locates the basis of his research in a three-person scheme, Beckett – Heidegger – Suzuki, according to which Eastern philosophy,especially the teachings of the Zen school, could reach Beckett as an echo of the influence of Heidegger’s ontology.

W badaniach autorka zestawia twórczość Samuela Becketta z wybranymi koncepcjami filozoficznymi Dalekiego Wschodu. Artykuł nawiązuje do pierwszej tego rodzaju interpretacji w polskich badaniach beckettologicznych, którą zaproponował Piotr Dariusz Klimczak w pracy „Trylogia Tanatyczna Teatru Absurdu”. Autorka stawia tezę, że proza i dramaty Becketta, jako te, które wyrosły na tle dyskursów egzystencjonalnych, są w stanie w niebezpośredni sposób „przewodzić” idee buddyzmu i hinduizmu. Jednak, inaczej niż w pracach innych badaczy takich jak Lidan Lin i Pavneet Kaur, nie opiera związku Becketta ze Wschodem tylko na postaci Artura Schopenhauera. Za istotną podstawę swoich badań uznaje natomiast triadę Beckett – Heidegger – Suzuki, według schematu której pewne koncepcje filozofii Wschodu, a przede wszystkim nauki szkoły Zen, mogłyby dotrzeć do Becketta jako echo wpływu filozofii Martina Heideggera.

In his book, The Fragile Absolute, in the chapter “Why Is the Truth Monstrous?”, Slavoj Žižek discusses Buddhism. Specifically, he claims that Buddhists have always found it difficult to explain, “how is it that the primordial was disturbed, and that desire emerged; that living beings got caught up in the wheel of karma, of attachment to false reality?” (2000. The Fragile Absolute, London: Verso, 73). Ultimately, Žižek suggests that in Buddhism “this fall into perversion is original, the original monstrous cut/excess, and the opposition between nirvana and desire for false appearances is there to conceal this monstrosity” (ibid. 74). Notwithstanding, in his singular views on Buddhism, Žižek does raise the question concerning the source of samsara, the source of cyclic existence, which he explains by using the concept of primordial disturbance that falls into perver-sion. This article discusses this Žižek’s concept and confronts it with the Buddhist un-derstanding of the source, causes, and the mode of emergence of cyclic existence.
