四国別格二十霊場結願のお礼に東寺をお参りした。真夏の京都は相変わらずひどく暑く、快晴の青空が目に沁みる。東寺は嵯峨天皇より弘法大師に下賜され、真言密教の総本山。世界遺産にも登録されている。講堂内の立体曼荼羅の仏像たちは迫力があり、造形美が凄い。伽藍は大きく、五重塔が美しい。境内の池の蓮が満開で艶やか。お参りのあと、近くのうどん屋で『東寺うどん』をいただく。梅肉と長芋の味が疲れた体に優しかった。
I visited Toji Temple to express my gratitude for the vow made during my pilgrimage to the 20 sacred places in Shikoku. Kyoto is as hot as ever in midsummer, and the blue sky is piercing my eyes. Toji was granted to Kobo Daishi by Emperor Saga and is the head temple of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism. It is also registered as a World Heritage Site. The mandala statues in the auditorium are powerful and beautiful. The temple is large and the five-storied pagoda is beautiful. The lotus in the pond in the temple precinct is in full bloom and it is shiny. After praying, I had “Toji udon” at a nearby udon restaurant. The taste of plum and Chinese yam was good for tired body.
為了感謝四國特別20靈場的結願而參拜了東寺。盛夏的京都依舊酷熱，晴空萬裡。東寺由嵯峨天皇賜予弘法大師，是真言密教的總本山。也被登錄為世界遺產。講堂內的立體曼荼羅佛像們極具震撼力，造型美令人驚嘆。寺院很大，五重塔也很美麗。院內的水池的荷花盛開，很艷麗。參拜後，在附近的烏冬面店品嘗“東寺烏冬面”。梅肉和山藥的味道對疲憊的身體很溫和。
