其時普留考務坐ヲ立テ長老ノ胸ヲ抓テ剣ヲ抜
テ胸ニ押当テ如何ナルカ即心即仏ノ奥義ト責
掛テ問ト雖トモ長老不動眼ヲ塞テ黙然タリ浄華
院ノ理道和尚見之兼進テ是ニ対セントス印長
老ノ弟子中少モ不騒未タ落着見ヘス暫ク待給
ヘト止ム因茲理道進ムヿヲ得ス漸ク有テ長老
眼ヲ開キテ喝ト一喝ヲ吐レケレハ普留考務眼

勝劣誰カ知ラント既ニ闘諍ニ及ハントス信長
大ニ制止テ曰宗論ハ邪正ヲ分ツニ有リ何ソ闘

その時普留考務は座を立って長老の胸を掴み、剣を抜いて胸に押し当て「いかなるか即心即仏の奥義」と責め掛けて問うたけれども、長老は動かず眼を閉じて黙然としていた。浄華院の理道和尚がこれを見て進み出てこれに対そうとすると、印長老の弟子たちが「少しも騒がず、まだ落着が見えません。暫く待ちなさい」と止めた。このため理道は進むことができなかった。しばらくあって長老が眼を開いて「喝！」と一喝を発すると、普留考務は眼を閉じて忽ちに息絶えた。僧家は口々に「邪法は正法に敵せず、新宗は邪法なり」と罵った。南蛮宗徒は怒って「法問の勝劣は未だ分からない。誰が知ろうか」と言い、既に闘争に及ぼうとした。信長は大いに制止して言った。「宗論は邪正を分つためにある。なぜ闘争して勝負を分けようとするのか。違背すればそれをもって劣れりとしよう」と言ったので、騒動は忽ちに鎮まった。そうしているところに摂州の荒木摂津守村重が中国の毛利に与力すると注進があった。信長は言った。「これは急務である。法論は邪正勝劣がまだ分明でない。重ねて召し合わせるであろう。双方帰寺すべし」ということで宗論は決着がつかなかったので、新宗破却の沙汰も止んだ。天正六年十一月、高山右近が敵に組して信長の命に応じなかった。信長は南蛮寺のウルガン・パードレを召し寄せて菅谷九右衛門を以て仰せて言った。「そもそも天帝新宗は我が命を

At that time, Furukomu stood up from his seat, grabbed the elder's chest, drew his sword and pressed it against his chest, demanding "What is the profound meaning of 'Mind itself is Buddha'?" Though he pressed this question urgently, the elder remained unmoved, closed his eyes, and remained silent. Priest Ridō of Jōke-in, seeing this, stepped forward to respond to the challenge, but the disciples of Priest In stopped him, saying "Do not be disturbed in the slightest - composure is not yet evident. Please wait a moment." Because of this, Ridō was unable to advance. After a while, the elder opened his eyes and uttered a single "Katsu!" whereupon Furukomu closed his eyes and immediately expired. The Buddhist monks all cried out in unison, "Heretical teachings cannot oppose the true Dharma! The new sect is heretical!" The Nanban sectarians became angry and said, "The superiority in this dharma debate is not yet determined - who can know it?" and were about to engage in conflict. Nobunaga greatly restrained them, saying, "Sectarian debates exist to distinguish between orthodox and heterodox teachings. Why should you resort to fighting to determine victory or defeat? If you violate this principle, that itself will be taken as proof of your inferiority." With these words, the disturbance immediately subsided. At this point, a report came that Araki Settsu-no-kami Murashige of Settsu Province had allied himself with the Mōri of Chūgoku region. Nobunaga said, "This is urgent business. The question of orthodox versus heterodox and superior versus inferior in the dharma debate is not yet clear. We shall convene again later. Both sides should return to their temples." Thus the sectarian debate remained inconclusive, and the matter of destroying the new sect was also suspended. In the eleventh month of Tenshō 6 (1578), Takayama Ukon sided with the enemy and did not obey Nobunaga's commands. Nobunaga summoned the Organtino Padre of the Nanban temple and, through Sugaya Kuemon, proclaimed: "This Celestial Emperor new sect defies my commands
