Kyoto Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple

Kyoto Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple

Tomoko Kamishima

More than 800 stone statues sit close together at Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple. Splendid autumn leaves put their arms around the statues and give them a comforting hug. The location of today’s Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple (northwest outskirts of Kyoto) was once a location used for open-air burial. As the years passed, the bones withered and scattered in the fields and mountains. A hundred years ago, locals collected the bones and buried them in this temple as a way to grieve for the dead.

800体を越える石仏群が、肩を寄せ合うように祀られている化野念仏寺。秋色に染まる木々が、仏たちを優しく抱きしめるように枝を広げている。念仏寺のある洛西のこの地は、古来より風葬の場であった。風雪にさらされた無縁の亡骸たちは山野に散乱し、埋没したものもあった。100年ほど前、付近に住む人々がそれらを拾い集めてこの寺に葬り、懇ろに弔った。

It's hard to explain why, but the atmosphere here soothed and relaxed me. Perhaps it was the beauty of the autumn foliage. But I was surprised -- perhaps I didn't expect to feel peaceful in a place that was originally an open-air burial site. The temple was established over 1200 years ago by Kobo Daishi. Only accessible by bus (it's a 50-minute ride!) I felt that my time was very well spent. It's quiet here, and not overly crowded, perhaps because it is so far away from central Kyoto. There i a bamboo grove up behind the temple that is also quite nice.

なぜだか知れず私の心はこの寺で和み、癒された。秋の紅葉があまりにも美しかったからかもしれない。しかし私にはこの平安が驚きだった。かつて風葬の地(戸外の埋葬地)だった場所で、このような心の平穏を感じるなど、予想だにしなかったからだ。この寺は1200年以上前、弘法大師(空海)により建立された。バスで行くしか交通手段はないが(50分もかかる!)、有意義な時間を過ごせたと思った。とても静かで人も多くない。おそらく京都中心部からずいぶんと離れているからだろう。寺の裏には竹林があり、ここもまた美しい。

มันยากที่จะอธิบายได้ว่าทำไม บรรยากาศของที่นี่ปลอบประโลมและทำให้ผมผ่อนคลาย บางทีอาจจะเป็นเพราะความงามของใบไม้ ในฤดูใบไม้ร่วง แต่ผมรู้สึกประหลาดใจ เพราะไม่ได้หวังที่จะรู้สึกสงบ ในสถานที่ที่เดิมที เป็นที่ฝังศพที่เปิดโล่ง วัดก่อตั้งขึ้นกว่า 1,200 ปีที่ผ่านมา โดยโคะโบะ ดาอิชิ ( Kobo Daishi) สามารถเข้าถึงโดยรถประจำทางเท่านั้น (แค่นั่ง 50 นาที) ผมรู้สึกว่ามันคุ้มค่ากับเวลาที่ใช้ มันเป็นที่เงียบสงบ และไม่แออัดมากจนเกินไป บางทีอาจเป็นเพราะมันห่างไกลจากศูนย์กลางเกียวโต มีกอไม้ไผ่ที่ด้านหลังวัดที่ค่อนข้างสวย

1,200 years ago where Adashino Nenbutsu-ji now stands, the famous priest Kobo Daishi (also known as Kukai) opened a Chisan sect Shingon Buddhist temple dedicated to Nyorai. It later became Adashino Nenbutsu-ji.

아다시노 넨부츠지(化野念仏寺)사찰은 지금으로부터 1200백년 전 홍법대사가 고치잔 뇨라이지(五智山如来寺)사찰을 건립하여 들판에 버려져 있던 유해를 매장하고 명복을 빌었다 전해진다. 그 후 호우넨 쇼우닌(法然上人)에 의해 츠네넨브츠도죠(常念仏道場)가 되었다.

왜인지 나도 모르게 내 마음은 이 사찰에서 평온을 느꼈다. 가을 단풍이 너무 아름다워서 일지도 모르겠다. 하지만 내게는 이 평안함이 놀라웠다. 과거 풍장의 땅(옥외 매장지)이었던 곳에서 이런 마음의 평온함을 느끼는 것이 예상조차 하지 못했기 때문이다. 이 절은 1200여 년 전 홍법대사(공해)에 의해 건립되었다. 버스외에는 교통수단은 없지만(50분이나 걸린다!) 의미있는 시간을 보낼 수 있었다고 생각했다. 아주 조용하고 사람도 많지 않다. 아마도 교토 중심부에서 상당히 떨어져 있기 때문일 것이다. 절 뒤편에는 대나무 숲이 있고, 그 곳 또한 아름답다.

And other train stations such as JR Saga-Arashiyama, Arashiyama Station on the Keifuku Dentetsu Line and Hankyu Line are all within a few minutes walk. The price range for the lunch sets is 2000-3000 yen, including hors d’oeuvre, soup, bread, a main dish, desert and a drink-bar. We ordered grilled whitefish and a hamburg steak. Both of the main dishes were quite good!
