Byodoji Temple

Temple
This is a Koyasan Shingon school temple in Aratano-cho, Anan City, Tokushima Prefecture and is 22nd temple of the 88 sacred places on the Shikoku Pilgrimage. The origin of this temple is said to be that, at this site, Kobo Daishi found a Bhaisajyaguru and carved his own statue of it, building the temple and making it the principal object of worship. The milky water that welled up at this time (it is now clear and colorless) became known as Kobo’s Miracle-working Water effective for all kinds of ailments and many worshippers put it in containers and take it home. The main hall, which was reconstructed in the middle of the Edo period, has a painted ceiling depicting the traditional themes of natural Japanese beauty.

  • 厄除祈願の為、石段には1円玉が置かれていましたが、今の時代両替手数料が大変そう

    四国八十八ヶ所を鶴林寺-太龍寺と山上の寺院を参拝して来ると道路脇の駐車場から直ぐに山門に行着ける平等寺はラクでした。少しばかりの石段を上がって仁王門を潜ると、参道を進み正面石段を上がった場所が本堂となっていました。その石段脇には厄除祈願の1円玉が並べられていましたが、今の時代逆両替が大変と思えてしまいました。因みに本堂・大師堂以外に境内はかなり広く大きな寺院と再認識させられました。

    YouTubeから祈願に参加出来、お守りを購入したり、お金を送ったりもしていたのですが、チャット欄で 常連さんの会話について行く事が出来なかったら、いきなりブロックをされて、祈願の申し込み等も一切出来なくされました。今まで そのようにされた方々が 何人も居るとニコニコ生配信の方の方々が教えて下さいました。
