家康は遺訓「人の一生は重荷を負て遠き道を行くが如し」で知られるなど「寡黙な苦労人」と思っている人が多いが、実はこの言葉は後世の創作だった。「関ヶ原合戦で徳川家の覇権が確立」「神君伊賀越え」「真田父子に恐れおののいた」などは、近年の研究によって事実とはいえないことが判明。これらは「松平・徳川中心史観」「アンチ家康」によるもので家康の神格化、または面目潰しのためにつくられていたのだ。

仏教と儒教、
人生にどう活かすか

禅の六祖・慧能（えのう）が懇々と教えている大事な要点は、佛というものは決して人間を超越した存在ではない、ということである。信仰者は佛を超越的存在に持ってゆきたがるが、佛というものは、自身、吾、心、衆生を離れては決して存在しない。
一方、儒教は、どこまでも人間と現実に徹して、情熱をもってこれを改めてゆこうとするもので、必ずしもその成功を求めない。良心、真理、道を旨とし、実践に徹してゆこうとするのがその真面目である。
儒教、道教、佛教は違うというけれども、世間一般に言うような差異ではない。儒教でも、「命（めい）に従う」とか「運を啓（ひら）く」というような問題になれば、浄土門の佛にすがるというのと同工異曲である。だから現れる形は違っても、少し奥へ入れば真理は一つ。諸教は帰するところみな同じである。
