* * * * * * * * * * * * * Under the Buddhist concept of reincarnation, beings are reborn in Five or Six Destinies according the life they led. In Japan, where Buddhism was officially introduced in 538, the number of Six Destinies has prevailed. The Destinies of Hells (Jigoku-do), of Hungry Spirits (Gaki-do), and of Animals (Chikusho-do) are considered to be the Three Bad Destinies, while the Destinies of Human Beings (Nin-do), of Asura (Ashura-do) and of Gods (Ten-do) are the Three Good Destinies. I will focus this lecture on three main points : 1. Historical presentation of painting of the Six Destinies during the Nara period (710-794), the Heian period (794-1185) and the Kamakura period (1192-1333), 2. Presentation of the set of fifteen paintings named Rikudo-e of the Shoju -Raigoji temple. This set was realised during the first half of the Kama-kura period and inspired by the text of Ojoyosht1 written in 985 by the Tendai monk Genshin (942-1017). 3. I will end by a discussion of the evolution of the religious concepts that are reflected in the paintings, especially the rise of the worship of Jizo bosatsu (bodhisattva Ksitigarbha) and Kannon bosatsu (bodhisattva Avalokitesvara).
