Toshodai-ji Ganjin Wajo Gobyo (Mausoleum of Jianzhen) 鑑真和上御廟 is the final resting place of Jianzhen (Ganjin Wajo), a revered Chinese monk who played a significant role in the spread of Buddhism in Japan. Located within Toshodai-ji Temple in Nara, Japan, the mausoleum is a sacred site that honors his dedication to Buddhist teachings and monastic discipline.

Jianzhen, originally from the Tang Dynasty in China, made six attempts to travel to Japan to propagate Buddhism. After multiple failures, including being blinded during his journey, he finally reached Japan in 753 AD. He was warmly received by the Japanese imperial court and made significant contributions, including the establishment of Toshodai-ji in 759 AD as a center for Buddhist training and practice.

The Ganjin Wajo Gobyo is nestled within a serene moss-covered forest, creating a tranquil atmosphere that reflects the monk’s spiritual legacy. The tomb is a simple yet elegant structure, embodying the aesthetic principles of wabi-sabi—appreciating simplicity and imperfection. It remains an important pilgrimage site for monks, scholars, and visitors interested in Buddhist history.

Toshodai-ji and Jianzhen’s mausoleum are recognized as part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site continues to inspire devotion and reflects the deep cultural and religious exchanges between China and Japan during the Nara period...

The environment of the tomb is unique and phenomenal. As Chinese I noticed the poem on parapet written by former prime minister of PRC - Zhao Ziyang, his poem is element and touching, praising master’s extraordinary life and legacy . Thinking about all the hard time master Genji experienced and success he made towards Japan and China, I sincerely wish Chinese people and Japanese people let go the sorry stories between for centuries and unite like what the EU is trying now. I really wish both governments do more help than sabotage by using of nationalist...

素敵な場所です まわりの苔むした庭園がとても良いです 唐招提寺の1番奥にありますがアクセスは容易です

唐招提寺の鑑真和尚御廟は、鑑真和上の遺骨を納めるために建てられた霊廟です。鑑真和上は、中国から日本に仏教を伝えた偉大な僧侶であり、その功績を称え、その精神を永く伝えるために御廟が設けられました。

鑑真和上は、奈良時代に日本へ渡航し、数々の困難を乗り越えて唐招提寺を開創しました。彼の没後、その偉業を後世に伝えるために御廟が建立されました。この御廟は、鑑真和上の精神的な遺産を守る場所として、長い間大切にされてきました。

御廟は、簡素でありながら荘厳な造りとなっており、その建築様式は当時の日本と中国の影響を受けたものです。御廟の内部には、鑑真和上の遺骨を納めた石室があり、その周囲には美しい庭園が広がっています。この庭園は、四季折々の自然の美しさを楽しむことができる場所となっています。

鑑真和尚御廟は、唐招提寺の中でも特に神聖な場所とされています。ここを訪れることで、鑑真和上の苦難とその偉業に思いを馳せ、仏教の教えとその伝播の歴史を深く感じることができます。また、御廟の静かで厳かな雰囲気は、訪れる人々に心の平安をもたらします。

御廟の周辺には、美しい自然が広がっており、特に春には桜が咲き誇り、秋には紅葉が見事です。この自然環境は、鑑真和上の精神と調和しており、訪れる人々に深い感動を与えます。

唐招提寺を訪れる際には、ぜひ鑑真和尚御廟を見学し、その歴史的背景や美しい建築、そして自然の調和を堪能してください。ここでの体験は、鑑真和上の偉業を深く理解するための貴...
