京都大原に在る古知谷 阿弥陀寺に行ってまいりました。
三千院とは少し離れた場所にあるこのお寺は、院内の巌窟には生きながら入られ「ミイラ佛」となられた弾誓上人上人が端座合掌の姿勢で安置されています。（石棺にて安置）
院内は谷あいの静かな場所にありますが、紅葉の数が非常に多くて隠れた紅葉の名所となっております。
動画内、２日に渡り撮影をしましたので夕方のシーンと午前中のシーンが混在しております。
11月12日の午後に訪れましたが多くの紅葉が青紅葉で日も山に隠れてしまってましたので、一週間ほど間を開けて午前中に再度撮影を行いました。
一週間後も少し青紅葉が目立ちましたので、11月末くらいが見ごろかもしれません….
山門の雰囲気が素晴らしい素敵なお寺でした。
Koumyozan Hokokuin Amida-ji Temple is a Nyobonenbutsu centre founded by Danjo Shonin in March 16009. Danzhu Shonin was born in the village of Umibe in Owari Province, but at the age of nine he became an ordained priest himself, and spent more than 20 years in Buddhist ascetic practice deep in the mountains of Mugei in Mino Province, where he was imprisoned in the Kannon Hall. Afterwards, he travelled around the country and underwent a series of ascetic practices before finally arriving in Kochiya, the last place of his ascetic training.
A maple tree, a natural monument and more than 800 years old, is located on the south side of the approach to the temple. Ohara is full of beautiful autumn foliage, but the autumn foliage at Amida-dera Temple is particularly beautiful and has been known as a famous autumn foliage spot since the Edo period (1603-1868). The sight of hundreds of maple trees turning red is spectacular.
In front of the temple, there is a statue of Danzhuang Shonin with his own hair. A small amount of this hairpiece can still be seen near the ears. On the right side of the front is a seated statue of the Amida Nyorai, an important cultural property, dating from the Kamakura period (artist unknown).
Stone corridor
A year before Dançon Shonin entered the monastery, he asked monks in training at the time to dig a rock cave. Here, the mummy of the deceased Shonin, who entered the stone niche while still alive and became a ‘mummy Buddha’, is enshrined in the posture of a sitting monk with folded palms in a sitting posture.
