薬師寺東院堂 - Nara

East Hall of Yakushi-ji Temple which was rebuilt during Kamakura period with the standing statue of Guanyin Bodhidatta. The wooden eastern temple was rebuilt during the Kamakura period and enshrined the standing statue of Kannon Bodhisattva. Located at the southeast corner of Yaoshi Temple.

Around the year 721, Kibiuchi's parent was born in the Yakushi-ji Temple for the Emperor. Rebuilt in the Kamakura period.

I was fascinated by the beauty of the Holy Kanzeon Bodhisattva. It was a little dark, but it was shining with the beauty of the Bodhisattva.

It is a national treasure. The existing Toindo is said to be the second generation rebuilt during the Kamakura period. It was interesting that the statue of the four heavenly kings, an important cultural property, was painted according to the direction of the face.

Speaking of Yakushiji, it's a law story. The chief priest Koin Takada is famous. Even in the corona vortex, we hold an event where you can listen to the law on an irregular basis. Until 2019, I was able to hear the story of the law when I went on Saturdays and Sundays, but now it seems that the monks alone are holding festivals without even including people in various events. Even though the east tower was completed in the spring of 2020 last year, the memorial service for the fall of the year has never been completed. Because of the corona The current Toindo is the third building. It was burnt down by a fire in Tenroku 4 (973) in the middle of the Heian period, and then rebuilt as a south-facing building near the current location in Koan 8 (1285) in the Kamakura period, and in Kyoho 18 (1733) in the Edo period. It is said that the building was changed to the same west-facing architecture as it is today.

Yakushiji Toindo is said to have been built during the Yoro period (717-24). The current hall is said to have been built in 1285 (Koan 8). The statue of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva is a youthful and elegant Buddha statue. I received a written red stamp. The old pamphlet says that it was modeled after Prince Arima. However, Prince Arima changed in 658, and Yakushiji was founded in 680. I think it's a little far away. In addition, the statue of Shitenno was different from the original position, with the statue of Mochikokuten in the southwest and the statue of Tamonten in the southeast. Did you mean that you didn't change the arrangement of the statues when you changed the temple from south to west in the Edo period? It seems that this statue of the four heavenly kings was recently designated as an important cultural property.

Because it is outside the east corridor Actually ... I almost forgot to see it (^ _ ^;) In the gorgeous Hakuho Garan of Yakushiji Temple At first glance, it ’s a quiet hall, This is also a national treasure. Take off your shoes and go up to the hall I worshiped the statue of the Holy Kanzeon Bodhisattva of the principal idol. Surrounded by the statues of the four heavenly kings on all sides It's not that big, but it's soothing to see it sublime. The statue is said to have been made in the late Hakuho period to the Nara period and is a national treasure. The inside of the hall is prohibited to take pictures ? so I took pictures from the outside ? And at the southeastern end of Hakuho Garan at Yakushiji Temple, There was "Ryuosha" in. …This is… The prince of Emperor Tenmu, Suspected of rebellion, Will commit suicide Existence of tragedy that became "evil dragon" To calm the ghost and soul of "Prince Otsu" It is said to be "Otsu Dragon Royal Palace". □ Overview ★★★★ The Toindo is built on a tall foundation It is said that it is a characteristic of Kamakura period architecture because it is a device to avoid flood and humidity. It was next to Kannon Pond in the Nara period, but was moved to its current location when it was rebuilt. It was built facing south when it was rebuilt in 1285 (Koan 8), but it was changed to face west in 1733 (Kyoho 18). Inside the hall, a national treasure, the Holy Kannon Bodhisattva (a statue of the bronze Kannon Bodhisattva), which is the principal image of Hakuho Buddha, is enshrined. The four sides are protected by the statues of the four heavenly kings of the Kamakura period. The principal image with an image height of 188.9 cm is Late Asuka period (Hakuho period) Or a work from the Nara period (7th-8th centuries). The statue of the four heavenly kings is in the east. Zouchyoten to the south, Komokuten to the west, Tamonten to the north ... is enshrined.

It is a national treasure Buddhist temple built in the Kamakura period. You can take off your shoes and let them go up in the hall. The statue of Holy Kannon, the principal idol, is a national treasure Buddha that is said to have been made during the Hakuho period. When you worship a merciful and noble figure, which is also described as "sublimation of prayer," your palms will naturally come together. In the hall, you can apply for the ancestral memorial service, the Gomaki, and the candles. Since this Toindo is outside the corridor, many people overlook it and return without worshiping, so I would like you to visit us.
