長福寺の門前に貧しい山伏がいた。大峰修行の際、ある老僧から援助を受けていたが、その老僧が入滅後に後を継いだ住職は、金銀を惜しみ、撞鐘で役立つならもっていけといった。その晩、山伏の枕もとに白髪の老人が現れ、峰入は心配するなといって消えた。次の日、鐘がなくなっていた。住職が山伏と一緒に大峰に行く途中の夜、山鳴りがして大岩の上に鐘が引っかかったという話を聞いて見に行くと、寺の鐘であった。老人は役行者の化身であった。

武蔵野三十三所観音巡礼 Musashino 33 Kannon Junrei



- quote from amazon com -
For those who really want to experience authentic Japanese culture and history in Buddhism, this is the best guidebook.
The author clearly explains how to get to each temple, impressions on visits, and historical backgounds of them. Just by referring to the guide, you can see how the temples in Japan are actually associated with the regional community, rather than staged Japanese styles for international tourists.
Also, he explains a way to enjoy the pilgrimage that is now popular in Japan, namely, collecting "goshu-in" (special calligraphy writings) of the temples.
The pilgrimage guided by the author will enable you both to touch a genuine aspect of Japanese history and to immerse yourself in current Japanese culture.
