Jurinin - Nara

I had my father perform the memorial service for the 37th anniversary. It seems that it is enough because my father receives one-seventh of the benefit of the transfer and has enough virtue. It seems that six-sevenths is to be taken as our virtue and divided into those around us. It ’s a nice place to talk about that. The main idol is the main idol Jizo Bodhisattva in the center, Shaka Nyorai on the left and right, Maitreya Bodhisattva and the memorial service in front of the precious stone Buddha that is unique.

We ask for a permanent memorial service, but it is always cleaned, so you can leave it to us with confidence. Crape myrtle is cool in summer.

When I visited the temple's website before the first visit, it was said that the general participation was possible because the hands-on work started at 8 am and the morning work started at 8:30. Then, I visited before 8 o'clock and helped clean the dead leaves. There is a lot of ball gravel in the well-arranged garden in the precincts, and it is difficult to collect it with a broom, and sometimes I use my hands ... It takes about 20 minutes. After cleaning, my heart is refreshed for some reason. After the work, he attended the morning work at the main hall, which was built in the Kamakura period and has a residential style (the eaves are low and makes the photograph cry). I was very grateful that Mr. Danya kindly gave me a general explanation before the start. Thanks to that, I was able to experience a firmer body without being confused. After that, we visited the stone Buddha statue in the main hall. The main hall is not so tall, and the main purpose was to cover this stone Buddha statue, so I wonder if it was made like a house with a low eaves. The stone Buddha has the impression that there are many Buddhas with gentle faces, but this stone Buddha also has a very gentle face. Looking at it made me feel relaxed and made me want to worship for a day. The name of the temple is also derived from its principal image, Jizo Bodhisattva. I definitely want to visit again.

I came to visit Eigo Kawashima's grave. It was difficult to find because there are many graves, but the temple told me the location. I am glad that my wish has come true. It is a temple in Naramachi and is very well maintained.

Jurinin is located in the southeastern corner of the former precincts of Gango-ji Temple, and is enshrined in a corner of Naramachi where the streets of the Edo and Meiji eras remain. It is said to be the foundation of Asano Sukune Nakai, the eldest son of Kibi no Makibi, the right minister of the Nara period. The principal image is a stone Jizo Bodhisattva in the Kamakura period, a temple of the Shingon sect Daigo school whose official name is Amehoyama Jurinin. The main hall of the national treasure is a residential-style Buddhist temple built during the Kamakura period to worship the stone Buddha statue, which is a nationally designated important cultural property enshrined in the shrine. Worship on 18/01/28. It seems that it was a festival, and many worshipers were gathering. When I visited the main hall on 21/08/18, there was a notice that the visit to the main hall was canceled until 8/31, so I decided to visit at another time. There is a lotus bowl in front of the main hall, and it has already come to fruition, but I think that all the temples in Nara are on Lotus Road, which is wonderful.

Near the world heritage site, Gango-ji Temple, there is Jurinin, a small and calm temple. Jurinin is an ancient temple that has important cultural properties, including the main hall (national treasure) of the Kamakura period.

Compared to other temples in Naramachi, it may not be well known, but the main hall is a national treasure and Jizoson is also wonderful. Next time, I would like to participate in the work from 8 o'clock every morning.
