I went to pray for yohkihi-kannon in sennnyuuji at last week
end.
I'll explain history of sennnyuuji temple a little bit,
Sennyuji temple is located at the foot of Mt. Tsukinowa in the Higashiyama
area in Kyoto. The origin of this temple, which is familiar to citizens
by the name "Mitera”
I went to around to temple,butsu den,shariden...
Today's building of the butsu-den was reconstructed by the order of shogun
tokunaga Ietsuna in 1668.
The building of the Shari-den (relic's hall) was moved from the Imperial
Palace and reformed into the two-storied building.
Sennyuuji arounsed my interest in history.aha!!
And finaly,I can pray for Empress Yang!!I rearly wanted has been seen her!!
Empress Yang is known as a wife of the Emperor Xuan Zong of the Tang dynasty
and also as a exquisite beauty of the history. When she died, the Emperor
missed her very much and had her sculpture made I an image of Avalokitesvara,
which was brought to this temple by Priest Tankai in 1255. The beauty and
holiness of the statue has been attracting worshippers.
She 's so beautiful!!I wanna change like her!!I'll come again when spring
comes around!!
