1-3 倶利迦羅不動寺 西之坊 鳳凰殿 Kurikara-FudoTemple Nishinobo Phoenix Hall
<倶利迦羅不動寺 鳳凰殿>
倶利迦羅不動寺には、かつては7堂伽藍と12ヶ寺が建立されており、その復興事業の一つとして、平成10年10月に西之坊鳳凰殿が建てられました。台湾檜を用いた左右75㍍もある壮大な建物となっており、平安貴族の建築様式の寝殿造りを採り入れてあり、荘厳優雅な雰囲気が漂っています。中央が主殿で、倶利伽羅不動尊と同体の御本尊を中心に、御前立不動尊の両童子が祀られているほか、護摩がたかれます。右側は祈祷殿で、弘法大師が唐より帰る折、大時化に遭い不動尊に祈りを込めたために、難を免れたという波切不動尊が安置されております。そのため、交通安全祈祷殿とも呼ばれております。左側は浄土殿といい、阿弥陀如来が主尊となっている。国宝の阿弥陀聖衆未来図の日本仏画にある阿弥陀如来を中心に諸聖衆が楽器を奏でながら、往生者を迎えにくる情景を、仏像として具現化したものである。阿弥陀仏を信じて名号を唱える者は、この世での命を終えると西方極楽浄土に往生し、そこで仏の教えを聞いてさとりを開き、成仏できると言われている。
As a part of the restoration project, the NIshinobo Phoenix Hall was built in October 1998. It is a magnificent building of Taiwan cypress that stretches 75 meters on both sides and has a solemn and elegant atmosphere, adopting the Shinden-zukuri style of architecture of the Heian period (794-1185). In the center is the main hall, where the Gohonzon, which is the same body as that of Kurikara-Fudoson, is enshrined, as well as the two children of Gozenritsu Fudoson, and where Goma is burned. On the right side is the prayer hall, where there is the Namikiri Fudoson, which is said to have saved Kobo-Daishi from a great storm when he was returning from Tang Dynasty China, because he prayed to the Fudoson. For this reason, it is also called the Traffic Safety Prayer Hall. The left side is called the Jodo-do Hall Hall, where the main deity is Amida Nyorai. The image of Amidannyorai Buddha in the National Treasure Amida Shoshu Mirai Zu (Future of Amitabha), a Japanese Buddhist painting, is an embodiment of the scene of various saints playing musical instruments and coming to welcome the departed, with Amitabha Buddha at the center. It is said that those who believe in Amida Buddha and chant his name will be reborn in the Pure Land of Paradise in the west after their life in this world is over, where they will hear the teachings of Buddha, attain satori, and attain Buddhahood.
