四国別格二十霊場の第十七番札所。本尊は薬師如来で開基は弘法大師。弘法大師が嵯峨天皇の勅命でため池の満濃池を改修した際に受けた報奨金で建立したという。別格霊場十六番札所の萩原寺からは約25キロの距離がある。小さいお寺だが緑に包まれ、趣がある。小高い丘の上にある当寺の大師像が雨のなか満濃池を見守っていた。久しぶりに訪れた満濃池は変わらず美しく大きい。弘法大師が1,200年前に考案した治水の仕組みが今も残っていることに驚く。満濃池の近くの『かりん亭』で池を眺めながら健康野菜入りのうどんを食べた。池の土手からは多度津の街並みと瀬戸内海も見える。
That is the 17th temple of Shikoku exceptional Sacred Sites.Its principal image is Yakushi Nyorai and its founder was Kobo Daishi. It is said to have been built by Kobo Daishi with the reward he received when he renovated the Manno-ike pond on the order of Emperor Saga. It is about 25 kilometers from Hagiwara-ji Temple, which is the 16 temple of the special sacred ground. Although it is a small temple, it is surrounded by greenery and has a charm. A statue of this temple Kobo Daishi on a small hill watched over the Manno-ike Pond in the rain. The Manno-ike, which I visited after a long time, was still beautiful and large. It is surprising that the flood control system that Kobo Daishi devised 1,200 years ago still exists today. I ate udon with healthy vegetables while looking at the pond at ‘Karintei’ near Mannoike. From the bank of the pond you can see the streets of Tadotsu and the Seto Inland Sea.
四国特別朝圣的第十七座寺庙。主佛是药师如来,由弘法大师开基。据说是弘法大师在嵯峨天皇的命令下修复蓄水池的满浓池时受到的奖金修建而成的。离特别圣地十六号名刹的荻原寺有约二十五公里的距离。虽是小寺庙,但绿意盎然。位于略微高起的山丘上的该寺的大师像在雨中守护着满浓池。久违地来到的满浓池依然美丽而又大。令人惊讶的是,弘法大师在千二百年前发明的治水机制仍然存在。在满浓池附近的『KARIN亭』眺望池水的同时,吃了加入健康蔬菜的乌冬面。从池之堤可以看到多度津的街道和濑户内海。
