Ultimate Atmosphere Match at Kiyomizu-dera: Kaiseki and Tofu Delicacies!
Hiroshi KyotoHiroshi Kyoto
長講堂： もと後白河法皇(ごしらかわほうおう)が仙洞（せんとう）御所に営まれた持仏堂で、正式名を「法華長講弥陀三昧堂(ほっけちょうこうみださんまいどう）」といい、法華経を永遠に讃し、阿弥陀仏を念じて三昧境に入る道場という意味である。寿永２年(１１８３）、法皇が六條西洞院の平業忠（なりただ）の邸に移られたので、この堂もそこに移建され六条長講堂とよんだ。法皇は多くの所領を寄進したが、これが史上に有名な長講堂領で、法皇の崩後、皇女宣陽門院覲子（きんし）内親王に継がれて以来、いわゆる持明院統によって相続された。 再三の火災のため転々と寺地を変え、天正６年(１５７８）に現在地に移った。現在、粟生光明寺（あおうこうみょうじ）の所轄する西山浄土宗（せいざんじょうどしゅう）に属する。後白河法皇の臨終仏（りんじゅうぶつ）である本尊阿弥陀如来及両脇侍（りょうわきじ）像と御影堂（みえいどう）に安置する後白河法皇木像はともに重要文化財に指定されている。 （京都観光NAVIより） Chokodo: This was originally a Jibutsu-do hall built by Emperor Goshirakawa in the Sento Imperial Palace, and its official name was "Hokke Choko Mida Sammai-do," meaning a training hall for eternally praising the Lotus Sutra and chanting the name of Amida Buddha to enter the state of samadhi. In 1183, the Emperor moved to Taira Naritada's residence at Rokujo Nishinotoin, and this hall was also moved there and called Rokujo Chokodo. The Emperor donated many estates, and this is the famous Chokodo estate in history. After the Emperor's death, it was passed down to his daughter, Princess Senyomon'in Kinshi, and was inherited by the so-called Jimyoin line. The temple site was moved several times due to repeated fires, and it was moved to its current location in 1578. Currently, it belongs to the Seizan Jodo sect under the jurisdiction of Ao Komyo-ji Temple. The principal image of the temple, Amida Nyorai, which is the last Buddha image of Emperor Goshirakawa, and the two attendant statues, as well as the wooden statue of Emperor Goshirakawa enshrined in the Mieido Hall, are both designated as Important Cultural Properties.
