Abstract

This chapter covers circulatory Buddhist pilgrimage routes which follow the basic concept of the two main models but are associated with other buddhas, bodhisattvas and holy places. The easy association of different kinds of buddhist divinities is found notably in the list of the “thirteen buddhas” (jūsanbutsu) found in devotional books, especially in the context of Shingon Buddhism. Two figures who cross various denominational boundaries and whose own pilgrimages are briefly introduced are Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of Medicine and Fudō Myōō, the Immovable Bright King. Another major figure is the bodhisattva Jizō, known in Japanese formally as Jizō Bosatsu and popularly as Jizō-sama, who is particularly close to the people and is represented in a myriad statues all over the country. The practice of making special visits to the various places connected with the founders of particular practices or teachings as well as pilgrimage in Shin Buddhism is discussed. The concept of encouraging visits to a number of halls within one major temple complex is covered including important examples such as Mount Hiei, Kyōto’s centre of Tendai Buddhism, and Mount Kōya, the ultimate home of Shingon Buddhism. In modern times Buddhist temple authorities have begun to cater for those who do not have a strong devotional attachment to any one buddha, bodhisattva or religious leader. Thus in 1984 a group known as the “Society for Familiar Temples” came into existence in order to promote visits to a collection of forty temples in Kyōto. The practice of circumambulation widely current in various religions of the world is discussed.
更多佛教路线
这一章涵盖了遵循两种主要模式的基本概念,但与其他佛、菩萨和圣地有联系的佛教循环朝圣路线。不同种类的佛教神的容易联系,特别是在灵修书籍中发现的“十三佛”名单(jūsanbutsu),特别是在信教佛教的背景下。有两个人物跨越了不同教派的界限,并简要介绍了他们自己的朝圣之旅,他们是药师药师,医学佛和福井Myōō,不可移动的光明之王。另一个主要人物是菩萨,在日语中被正式称为jizhibosatsu,俗称Jizō-sama,他与人民特别亲近,在全国各地都有无数的雕像。讨论了对与特定实践或教义的创始人有关的各个地方进行特殊访问的做法以及信佛朝圣。鼓励参观一个主要寺庙建筑群内的多个大厅的概念涵盖了重要的例子,如世平山,Kyōto天台佛教的中心,以及世平山Kōya,信教佛教的最终家园。在现代,佛教寺庙当局已经开始迎合那些对任何一个佛、菩萨或宗教领袖没有强烈的虔诚依恋的人。因此,1984年,一个名为“熟悉寺庙协会”的组织成立了,目的是促进人们参观Kyōto上的40座寺庙。讨论了在世界上各种宗教中广泛流行的绕行习俗。
