Abstract: The "Destroying Buddhism" movement raised in the first year of Meiji dynasty completely changes the fate of Japanese Buddhism. The new cultural context and the ideological ecology caused by it directly affect the creation of the Japanese Buddhist literature. Looking through the Japanese Buddhist literature in about 150 years since modern time, the acceptance model on Buddhism changes from faith, doubt, rationalism to religious pluralism, and the literary creation echoes the Buddhist position transformation. And the inevitable result of multi religious belief is that people have no time to accumulate honing the selfwill, their religious psychology of eager for quick success gives the thought of "otherpower" and "evil people as the right object of Amitabha’s salvation " and other convenience methods chances to replace the orthodox Buddhism of practice, and these methods get spread far and wide. The debut of monk writers in the new era is a perfect combination of traditional monk literature and modern literature. It not only lets people be more aware of the mystery of the monk world, but also gets Buddhism more involved in modern secular life. Especially in their works, the multiple religious views which are beyond religious sects conform to the present situation of the coexistence of many religions in Japan.

Key words: Japanese Buddhist literature, Destroying Buddhism, the thought of "otherpower", the thought of "evil people as the right object of Amitabha’s salvation ", Monk writers
