Tahō Nyorai 多宝如来 Prabhuta Ratna プラブータ・ラトナ



- quote -
Prabhūtaratna
(Skt: प्रभूतरत्न; Traditional Chinese: 多寶; Simplified Chinese: 多宝;
Japanese: 多宝如来 Tahō Nyorai), translated as
Abundant Treasures or Many Treasures, is the Buddha who appears and verifies Shakyamuni's teachings in the Lotus Sutra and the Samantabhadra Meditation Sutra.
..... according to Robert Buswell, "Prabhūtaratna (Many Treasures) invites Shakyamuni to sit beside him inside his bejeweled stūpa, thus validating the teachings Shakyamuni delivered in the scripture."
Thich Nhat Hanh states
that Prabhūtaratna symbolizes "the ultimate Buddha" and Shakyamuni "the historical Buddha"; the two Buddhas sitting together signifies the non-duality of the ultimate and the historical, that at a given moment in the real world, one can touch the ultimate.
According to Nichiren,
in their interaction Shakyamuni and Many Treasures agreed to the perpetuation of the Law throughout the Latter Day.

The grave of poet 立原道造 Tachihara Michizo is in the compound.



- quote -
Michizō Tachihara 立原道造 Tachihara Michizō
(July 30, 1914 - March 29, 1939) was a Japanese poet and architect.
He died at age 24 from tuberculosis, before either career could seriously get under way. Michizō struggled to find a way for an urban poet to root himself in traditional customs and still be "modern."



Though a citizen of Tokyo, Michizō would rarely mention modern urban scenes in his work. Aside from several references to cars, Michizō chose to describe a vegetable, not a mineral realm. He described trains as vehicles of escape, rescuing him from being cooped up in his architectural office.
The natural landscapes of the Shinano Highlands
provided an endless parade of conventional imagery that Michizō would use in his work; such as birds, clouds, flowers, grasses, mountains, skies, trees, and wind. A sizable part of his poetry used poetic impulse, often causing his work to be labelled as "sentimental". He wrote openly about his feelings and expressed what was in his heart, allowing his verse to be both uncontaminated and genuine.

The name of Juratsu-Nyo has been changed in the Meiji period in 1873 to Sachimitama Chitarihi no Mikoto
She had 1000 children herself and still used to eat those of the humans.

Once upon a time in 乙方村 Okkata village there were many children dying within two years. So the villagers decided to built a place to pray to O-Juratsu Sama (Kishibojin) to protect their children. The villagers prayed that 1000 children would be born in the following year in their vllage. Each family made dumplings until they had 1000 and the whole village prayed for seven days and nights.
And oh wonder, children were now born in the village, all healthy and strong.

gomiso ゴミソ kamisama カミサマ

荒川つよ Arakawa Tsuyo married into a family with 4 children, and later had 7 children with her new husband.

身延町 Minobu

The 鬼子母神堂 Kishibojin Hall at the temple in Minobusan is located along the route to the Oku-no-In sanctuary at the Chigo-Ike 稚児池 pond.



At the 鬼子母神堂 Kishibojin Hall, there was an ema 絵馬 votive tablet of a horse, which comes out at night to devastate the fields. The horse had been painted by 狩野探幽 Kano Tanyu and for some reason, the priest found dirt on its hooves and in its mouth every morning.
So special rituals were held to keep it in place.

saruoni, saru-oni 猿鬼 at Iwaido Shrine
This is an old shrine dedicated to Ônamuchi-no-Mikoto (or Iwatsukuwake no mikoto, according to another theory) and Kukurihime-no-Kami.
It is not known when the shrine was founded, but it is known as a shrine related to the legend of Saru-oni, which has been passed down from generation to generation in Yanagida, Noto Town. The legend goes like this:
Once upon a time,
a monster or preternatural creature called Saru-oni that lived in a rock cave bit cows and horses to death and did evil to humans. Then Keta Myojin (a gracious deity) of the highest ranking shrine in Noto shot Saru-oni in the eye. His corpse was buried in the cave and a shrine was built.
Iwaido Shrine has its origins in the legend. Local people call it "Saru-oni-no-miya" or "the shrine of Saru-oni". There are places in the neighborhood that have names related to the legend.
The name "Tôme" (hit in the eye) comes from the legend according to which an arrow hit Saru-oni in the eye. The name "Kuro-kawa" (black river) is derived from a story according to which a river of Saru-oni's black blood was formed. In addition, Saru-oni, who had his eye shot with an arrow, cleansed his eyes with ôbako (a kind of herb), which gave the name Ôbako to a local area.
