Saikooji 西光寺 Saiko-Ji, Mie

白山町腹ごもり不動明王 - Hakusancho Village, Mie
A legend of old times, told in Ieki 家城, at South Ieki 南家城 at the temple Saikooji 西光寺 Saiko-Ji:

The parent is young, but the child is old, how come ?

Here is an amazing story about a child that was born before its parents.
The story is told at temple Saikooji 西光寺 and dates back about 1200 or 1300 years.
At that time there came a meandering priest to Ieki and asked for a place to stay over night.
The farmers were kind and one asked him to stay at his simple home.




Next morning the priest took out a Buddha statue from his backpack and presented it to his host.
"This is a talisman Buddha for you to keep!!
And then he left.

The farmer came calling after him:
"Just a moment, please tell me your name."
But the figure of the priest was nowhere to be seen any more.

So the farmer opened the parcel and saw the statue of Fudo Myo-O.
"How wonderful, how special, I don't really deserve this!"
And he prayed to the statue devoutly.
The story went around the village and others suggested that the priest must have been Kukai Kobo Daishi and all prayed to the statue.

Some also gave money and soon there was enough to build the temple Saiko-Ji for the statue.
Thus passed more than 300 years in the village of Ieki.
Another learned priest visited the village and said:

"This is such a special statue of Fudo Myo-O, you can not just keep it like that!"
So he carved a much bigger statue and placed the original small one in it's stomach.
This is why the statue is now called
"The Statue of Pregnant Fudo Myo-O". 腹ごもり不動明王



Since the small statue was carved much earlier, it is said that

"the child is old, but the parent is young".
This venerable statue is now shown every 12 years and many come to pray here.

Taiseizan 泰清山 Sooanji 窓安寺 Soan-Ji
福井県越前市南3-1-5 - Fukui

窓安寺は養老年間、越の大徳・泰澄大師が、今立郡池田町野尻に創建された寺院で、もと白山平泉寺三千坊のうちの一つであった。
その後、越前守護職朝倉家の菩提寺となり、府中(武生・現越前市)に移った。その関係で、境内には朝倉義景・朝倉景鏡の御廟がある。

不動堂には、泰澄大師御作と言われている“腹ごもり不動明王”が、御本尊として祀られている。また、天正年間の仏師・出目寄才作の不動明王(御前立)も祀られている。
広い境内地には、市指定の文化財で、室町時代作の石造り不動明王像が祀られている。この仏様は、左手に索を持ち右手に剣をかまえて、腰を右にひねった忿怒形相の不動明王の立像で、岩座に屹立している。像の本体は１６センチの浮き上がりがあり、後部の舟形光背には火災形が彫られている。このほか、石造りの地蔵菩薩像一体もあるが、不動明王像と共に市の文化財となっている。

昔の武生は、府中と言われて早くから開け、北陸での政治や軍事上の要所であった。かの紫式部も、父藤原為時の国府在任中に、十九才の娘盛りであったが、武生を訪れている。
