Part 1 “The Buddhist Art of Silk Road” Takashi Osawa, President of Ryukoku University

'The Teachings of Ganjin Wajo', the elder of Toshodaiji Temple, Akihiko Nishiyama, the master of the Ritsu sect

'What is the wish included in the application for the construction of Roshana Great Buddha?' Fumon Sagawa no shi, betto of Todaiji Temple, Kegon sect

'Buddhist sowing' (Buddhist sowing of Buddhism') Tataneshi Murakami, head priest of Yakushi-ji Temple, Hosso sect

 

Part 2 Panel Discussion Theme “Swinging of Buddhism”

Coordinator Mr. Sakae Takita (Buddhist and actor)

The panelists are the same as Part 1.

 

It is said that the eastern end of Silk Road is Japan Nara. On the other hand, in the vicinity of the western end, there is a fusion of Buddhist culture and Western culture, and a Tachibotoke statue similar to the guardian image of deity and an angel statue with wings similar to Heraculus.

It is said that it has been excavated from Gandhara (Afghan) and Palmyra (oasis in the center of Syrian Desert). It seems that many sites in Afghanistan have been destroyed since the 2001 terrorist attacks.

 

There are similar items in Buddhism, such as the same thing as the Ten Commandments, must not be killed, and must not be stolen, but the Ten Commandments of Buddhism are items that must not be judged by other people's faults and failures, and must not be proud. It seems that there is.

 

The law's "law" is a Buddhist word, and it is said that Buddhist law is called "Okyo".

 

Toshodaiji Temple, Todaiji Temple, and Yakushiji Temple are temples of pure faith that do not have a Danke. In the first place, Danke was a system that Ieyasu Tokugawa started to manage the family register of the current government office.

Mr. Sakae Takita said, "I think Buddhism has a darker image than other religions, but this is because it has an image of Buddhism ≒ funeral, and Buddhism as the original religion is not a dark image." .

 

The topic has changed soon in August. The annual Noryo Bon Dance Festival is held from August 2 to 5, and the tower is being prepared.

By the way, the precincts of Tsukiji Honganji Temple are now under construction.

In the past, there were Shinroku Hazama Peace pagoda, Magoemon Mori Peace pagoda, etc., but now I passed through the main gate and moved to a short distance. Also, in my memory, I think that this construction section had an entrance to an air raid shelter.
