Nikko Hotokeiwa 日光仏岩 "Buddha rock" in Nikko
Hotoke-Iwa
- quote
Hotoke-iwa - Buddha Crag - 開山堂仏岩
Priest Shoto 勝道上人 passed away on March 1st of 817. He was cremated in the valley of crags, which was located near the kaizan-do hall of the founder.
A small and vermilion lacquered hall was built to enshrine Shoto. That shrine is today's Kaizan-doh hall. Wooden image of Bosatsu and seated image of Priest Shoto are enshrined in the Kaizan-doh hall. It is told that those images were made in the Muromachi period. Also, wooden images of ten pupils of Shoto are put on the right and left of the principal image. Rites of Kaizan ceremony are carried out in the hall on April 1st.
There is Gorin-to tower 五輪塔 in the place of Shoto's tomb. Three other tombs are also put there, but these are for his followers. The Gorin-toh tower stands on the back of Kaizan-doh hall.
The crag on the back of Kaizan-doh is called Hotoke-iwa, which means Buddha Crag. Rocks of the crag were like Buddha, but these collapsed during an earthquake. Today, 6 stone images of Buddha are put on hollow place, located on the back of Kaizan-doh hall.
One of the statues is Fudo Myo-O 六部天(１体は不動明王).
