大日如来坐像（だいにちにょらいざぞう）　　
【重要文化財】 平安時代（12世紀）



大日如来は密教の世界の絶対的な真理で、密教が想定した二つの世界である胎蔵界と金剛界の中核とされます。
この像は左拳人さし指を右拳で握る「智拳印」を結び、金剛界の大日如来であることを示しています。
一本の桧材から頭部と胴部を彫り出し、前後に割って、割れを防ぐため内側を刳り、更に頸の付け根で頭部を割り離して仕上げる、割矧（わりはぎ）造りで造られています。

平安後期の代表的な和風彫刻の様式である定朝様式をふまえており、洗練された優雅さとともに、地方の作らしいおおらかさも漂います。

運慶作と推定される大日如来像
by 山本勉




この大日如来像を所蔵する個人から照会の書状を頂戴したのは昨年7月だった。 同封の写真から、わたしが16年前の論文で運慶作品として評価した、栃木県足利市の光得寺［こうとくじ］大日如来像によく似た像容であることがわかっていたが、9月後半に所蔵者のお宅にうかがって実際に調査してみると、想像をはるかにこえる優作であった。

細部まで光得寺像と同じ形で、像高はほぼ倍の66.1cm(光得寺像は31.3cm)。 光得寺像同様、作風・構造技法いずれも運慶自身の特色を濃厚に示し、上げ底式に刳［く］り残した像底部に台座との接合用の金具を打ち込む点は、光得寺像との共通点としてことに興味深かった。

衝撃的な新発見の像をどう位置づけてよいものか、正直なところ、最初はかなり悩み、迷ったのだが、調査データを整理して写真をくりかえしながめるうちに、像は多くのことを語りはじめた。 しだいにさまざまなものがみえてきた。

Dainichi Nyorai (Mahaa Vairocana Tathaagata)

Auch Großer Birushana (Maka Birushana) oder Großer Strahlender (Daikoomyoo henshoo) genannt. Mächtigster aller Nyorai, kosmischer Buddha. Eventuell aus einem alten Sonnenkult entstanden. Sein Körper ist die Personifizierung der Lehre des Buddismus.

"Die Sonne scheint nur Tags und Nachts ist Schatten, aber die Weisheit des Nyorai strahlt immer und überall, daher wird er "Große Sonne" (DAI NICHI) genannt." Aus ihm gehen alle anderen Buddhas und Bosatsu hervor. Alle Dinge des Universums bilden den Körper des Dainichi.

Höchste zentrale Gottheit des esoterischen Buddhismus. Durch die übergroße Macht des Dainichi wird die Lehre direkt in der Welt verbreitet, ohne daß der Vermittler Shakyamuni notwendig wird. Aus Dainichi entspringt die Tugend des ganzen Kosmos, und alle Tugenden der einzelnen Buddhas führen letztendlich wieder zum Dainichi zurück. Diese Beziehungen werden in den Mandalas der beiden Welten ausgedrückt.
Siehe auch "Die fünf Weisheitsbuddhas".

In Indien, China und Korea gibt es wesentlich weniger Statuen des Dainichi als in Japan, da der esoterische Buddhismus in Japan bis auf den heutigen Tag noch praktiziert wird.

Dainichi ist das Zentrum der Mandalas der beiden Welten, aber in der Shingon-Sekte finden sich seine Statuen auch als Hauptkultbild, dann meist in der Form der Diamantwelt. Seine japanische Entsprechung (honjibutsu), Amaterasu Oomikami, wird nur im Schrein in Ise verehrt.


Dainichi der Diamantwelt:
Verkörpert den äußeren Aspekt der Weisheit des Dainichi bzw. der Funktion des Weltalls. Größte Figur des Mandala in der Mitte der obersten Reihe von drei Reihen mit insgesamt neun Feldern.
Mitleidshaltung der Hände. Sie drückt die höchste Form der Erleuchtung und damit die religiöse Theorie (kyoosoo) aus. Hohe Krone. Brustschmuck.
Weitere Inkarnation als Goosanze Myôô.


Dainichi der Mutterschoßwelt:
Verkörpert den inneren Aspekt der Vernunft des Dainichi bzw. die Form des Weltalls. Größte Figur in der Mitte des Mandala; auf einem Lotussockel.

Meditationshaltung der Hände. Über den gefalteten Händen breitet sich das ganze Weltall aus. Diese Handhaltung versinnbildlicht die religiöse Praktik (jisoo) des esoterischen Buddhismus.
Hoch aufgekämmte Haare. Kein oder wenig Brustschmuck. Insgesamt einfachere Figur.
Weitere Inkarnation als Fudoo Myôô.

In einer mehr volksnahen Version spendet Dainichi Glück in dieser Welt, heilt Krankheiten und verhilft zur sicheren Geburt.
Das jährliche Abbrennen eines großen Feuers in der Form des Schriftzeichens "DAI" (Daimonji no Hi) am Nyoi-ga-oka-Berg in Kyooto geht möglicherweise auf diese Gottheit zurück. 大文字焼

Dainichi selbst ist eine sehr hohe Gottheit. Daher hat er drei Inkarnationen (sanshu rinhsin). Als Nyorai verkörpert er die Eigennatur (jishoo rinjin), als Bosatsu die rechte Lehre (shooboo rinshin) und als Myoooo die Verbreitung der Lehre (kyooryoo rinshin).


Ikonografie:
Einziger Nyorai mit Schmuck eines Bosatsu (einschl. langes Perlengehänge (yooraku) um den Körper sowie Reifen um Ober- und Unterarme (wansen, hisen), aber ohne fliegende Gewänder. Hohe Krone (hookan) mit den fünf Weisheitsbuddhas. Brustschmuck (munakazari).
Oft Mitleidshaltung der Hände mit beiden Fäusten vor der Brust. Manchmal auch Rad der Lehre in der Hand.

Im Allgemeinen nur sitzende Statuen. Dies soll seine unbewegte Existenz als Zentrum des Universums verdeutlichen.


Besondere Statuen:
Dreiergruppe des Dainichi (Dainichi sanzon) 大日三尊
Dainichi Nyorai mit Shaka Nyorai und Amida Nyorai. Diese Formation gehört weniger dem esoterischen als dem allgemeinen Buddhismus an, da sich Shaka und Amida beim Volk großer Beliebtheit erfreuten.

mizukake 水掛 Watered Deities

To throw water on the statue of a deity, that is a custom found in many places of Japan and the Buddha statues can vary. For example, Mizukake Jizo, Mizukake Kannon.

The believer throws a ladle full of water over the statue and watches it drip down, hoping his wish will be fulfilled and his soul purified by this ritual.

This is a pun with the word gankake 願掛け / 願掛 - to make a vow or say a wish for the deities to fulfill.

Here we will look at some Fudo Statues and Jizo Bosatsu.

Mizukake Fudo at Hoozenji 法善寺 Hozen-Ji
法善寺横丁 Osaka

This statue is quite covered with koke 苔 moss by all the dowsing of water. People come here to wash away their sorrows and worries, but also there joys and pleasures, their detachment to this world in genera. "mizu ni nagasu" is the Japanese expression.

There are many paper lanters which give the place a special atmosphere and reflect on the pavement after people have thrown water on the statue.
The precincts have two famous boards with calligraphy, one by the third Harudani Katsura on the east gate, and one by Kambi Fujiyama on the west gate.

This temple is featured in some novels, too, for example the Stories of Osaka Life by Oda Sakunosuke.

A life-size replica of the Buddhist deity Fudo Myo-o, (one of the Kings of Wisdom) at Hozenji in the Yokocho district of Osaka represents one of the most popular urban gathering spots Japan. Its folk history is well known through novels and songs.

Including other Fudo to wash your money



This statue is outside and people pour water over it when making a wish. They also wash their money, a custom usually associated with Benten (Zeni-arai Benten 銭洗い弁天, for example in Kamakura). You wash some money, coins or paper, dry them properly and put them back in the purse. You then have to spend that money within a week, and it will come back to you in double, triple and even more ... if you wash it properly. Below are some more of these money-and-water-friendly Fudo statues.

みかも不動尊には、「銭洗い不動尊」もあります。

よく、弁天様は見かけたりしますが、お不動さまの銭洗いは珍しく思い紹介させていただきました。

Zeni-Arai Benten at Kamakura :
Zeniarai Benten

... there are a handful of devout worshipers, mostly merchants, who deeply revere the Shrine and wash bundles of 10,000-yen (roughly US$80) bills. (As noted above, zeni means coins, not paper money.) In fact, hundreds of torii gate appearing near the entrance of the Shrine were donated by those merchants who believe their wealth was brought by virtue of the power of Ugajin here.

Those merchants come visit here every month on the Day of Serpent by all means to attend the rituals held by the Shrine. Police warns car-drivers not to drive into the neighborhood on weekends and the Serpent Days in particular. Most crowded is the first Serpent Day of the year, which usually falls on an early February day and Benten Festival takes place.

A comment from Mark Schumacher on the subject

Curious that Fudo is associated with the money-washing tradition.

Benzaiten, a goddess of fortune, is easy to understand. She is always located near water (river, pond, lake, ocean). She is associated with the NAGA (serpents and dragons), who guard treasure.

But why Fudo? His real symbol is fire. His aureole is almost always the flames of fire. He is also the main honzon for GOMA , a fire ceremony still popular today in which defilements are symbolically burnt away.

So why would people wash money under Fudo's protection? Because he washes away impurities, kanna? Hmmm. Does not sound right. Maybe, perhaps, because drawings of Fudo show him standing on a rock rising from the sea?

For example, the drawing at Daigoji, Kyoto, and the famous 1282 drawing by Shinkai of Fudou standing on a rock rising from the sea. Moreover, Kurikara, a dragon wound around a sword, may appear in paintings of Fudou.
Also, both Kurikara and Fudou are found often near ascetic places of religious practice, such as small waterfalls. Perhaps this is the reason.

For much more on Fudo iconography and history in Japan,
please see the JAANUS page.

Me-aka Fudo, the Red-eyed Fudo　目赤不動

One of the Fudo with five different eye-colors of Edo. For LINKS, see below.
Temples to these five Fudo were constructed by the third Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu to protect the town of Edo.
Meaka Fudo was called as Akame Fudo before it was moved to Hon-Komagome 駒込. Iemitsu had the Meaka Fudo installed at Do-Zaka 道坂 on the way to his grounds for hawk hunting.

The color red was associated with the element fire.

Recapitulate the basics of the five colored Fudo.

At Temple Nankoku-Ji 南谷寺



南谷寺

当寺は不動尊をもって廻国していた伊賀赤目山の住職満願が元和年間（1615-24）に下駒込村動坂で庵を結んだことに始まる。寛永１４年（1637）鷹狩の折にこれを目にとめた三代将軍徳川家光が、現地に寺地を与えたという。
本尊の不動尊は目赤不動と呼ばれ、江戸の五色不動の一つで、既に十七世紀末から十八世紀前半の案内記で名所として取り上げられている（「江戸名所記」他）。

五色とは青・黄・赤・白・黒で梵語で言う地・水・火・風・空をあらわし、家光がこの五色不動の目として東西南北中央の五方眼で江戸を守るために五色不動を設定したという説がある（夏山雑談）。しかし実際には色と方角が一致せず、目黄不動が３ヶ所もあるなど、この説には疑問も多い。

目赤不動尊は、 もとは赤目不動尊と言われていた｡ 元和年間(1615～24) 比叡山の南谷（みなみだに）に万行律師がいて、 明王を尊信していた。ある夜、伊勢国（三重県）の赤目山に来たれとの夢見があり、赤目山に登り、 精進を重ねていた時、虚空から御声があって、一寸二部の黄金造りの不動明王像を授けられた。

赤目山を下り、比叡山南谷の庵室に安置した。しばらくして「黄土衆生の志願を起こし」関東に向かい、下駒込（いまの動坂）に庵を結んで、万民化益を祈念した。参詣の諸人は奇瑞を得て群参した。

寛永５年（１６２８）、 三代将軍家光が鷹狩りの途中、 立ち寄り、「御徳御尋になり由来を言上したところ、府内五不動の因縁を以て赤目を目赤と唱へる様にとの上意が」あり、 現在の地を賜った。

後に、寺院を建立して、智證大師作　不動明王を御前立に安置した。以後、目赤不動尊として、 「年を超え月を重ねて利益日々に著しく参拝の諸人絶えること」がない。　としています。

将軍家光と関連し、最初は「赤目不動」であったのが、「目赤不動」になったとします。そのきっかけは、「府内五不動の因縁を以て」（縁起）、「目黒、目白に対して」（江戸名所図会）として、五色不動設定との関連を示します。堂には、上のような平成７年の大きな奉納額があり、いまもって不動信仰のなみなみならぬものを告げています。

Aka Fudou - The RED FUDO　赤不動



The chief of the Five Great Myoo and the Eight Great Myoo.

He appears in wrath; vanquishes all evil and renders virtue, making trainees decide to attain enlightenment. He has the power to make people attain enlightenment with the wisdom of Buddha. He was called Fudou　(immobile) because he never moves in the perfect spiritual state of concentration in fire, vanquishing all kinds of sins. He appears in a child style; hanging down a pigtail of hair over his left shoulder with his left eye shut thin sitting on the rock. He also holds a sword of wisdom in his right hand, a rope in his left subduing earthly desires of ordinary people.

There exists the iconography of Esoteric Buddhism in Giki　(the book of secret ritual practice), however, many of them are created freely. He was attended by Kongara Douji and Seitaka Douji. Gurikara Fudou appears not in Myoo, but a dragon (Gurikara Myoo) coiling itself around the sword of wisdom thrusting on the rock and trying to swallow the sword from its top. The color of the skin of Fudou Myoo is generally the one of ditch mud's explaining that he saves ordinary people living in the indecency world, however, yellow, red, or blue Fudo Myoo are sometimes worshipped.

高野山別格本山 赤不動明王院 Aka-Fudo
Red Fudo at Myo-O-In, Mt. Koya



It was originally opened at the time Kukai founded Koyasan enshrining as a central deity and image of Godai Myoo. The image was lost to a fire in 1631, however, and presently there is enshrined a painting of a red Fudo Myoo said to have been painted by Chisho Daishi Encho. He used red mineral pigments mixed with his own blood.

近畿三十六不動尊霊場三十五番札所・日本三不動一番札所・壇上伽藍鬼門鎮護の五大堂

日本三不動のひとつとして知られる赤不動明王を本尊としてお祭りしています。

本尊の赤不動明王は、いわゆる感得像で、赤い身色の不動明王を二童子と共に描いた画幅です。弘法大師の甥に当たられる方で、後に天台の座主にもなられる智証大師円珍和尚が、修行中に感得した不動明王の姿を、その余りの有り難さに自分の頭を岩に打ち付け、岩絵の具に頭血を混ぜて写しとられたと言われています。

赤不動明王は平安の昔より庶民に尊崇され厚い信仰を集めていたようです。例えば平安・戦国・江戸太平の頃…と高野山への帝･皇族・貴顕紳士の御登山は数多ありますが、明治維新以降、廃仏の嵐の中も不動尊信仰の濤は世に息むこと無く、天皇皇后両陛下をはじめ、各宮家や多くの華族が赤不動明王に礼拝供養されました。海外からも多数ご参拝頂いた様子で、大正時代の「高野山時報」にはスウェーデン皇太子御登山、として以下のような記事が載っています。

Quted from Mark Schumacher:

RED YOUTH 赤童子, AKADOUJI
(text courtesy JAANUS)

Literally "Red Youth." Also often called Kasuga Akadouji 春日赤童子.
A mysterious human figure said to have appeared on a rock immediately in front of the Kasuga 春日 Shrine gate. He often is shown as a youth, douji, colored red, aka, standing on a rock, and leaning on a staff. In certain poses both in paintings and in prints, Akadouji resembles Kongoudouji 金剛童子, one of the attendants of Fudou Myouou 不動明王.

His connection with Kasuga is obscure, but he has been identified with Ame-no-Koyane 天児屋根, the God of the Third Sanctuary there; with Jinushi gami 地主神, the land god; with a healer's helping spirit; and with a thunder god of Mount Mikasa 御蓋, which stands behind the shrine at Kasuga. Extant images date from the Muromachi to Edo periods.

Martial Arts: Defining Martial Concepts
Fudo: - The Concept of Immovability
By Christopher Caile

Fudo is a Japanese term often used in Buddhism, especially in Zen and Esoteric Buddhism (Mikkyo) to represent a mental state -- one of immovability, not physically or literally, but in mind, one that is not captured, or moved, or dwells, or loiters on a thought or in a focus - a total unobstructed awareness and focus on everything, thus not moving with, or fixed upon something (limited by a focused attention).

In the martial arts the character "shin," meaning spirit, heart or will, is often added to the root "fudo" to become "fudoshin," a term meaning calm spirit, even when faced with danger, without fear or confusion, that does not dwell or become fixed on anything. This was the highest attainment of spiritual skill only attainable when the mind is totally focused on the totality of sensory input and free of thoughts and emotions - detached but aware and present. A related term "mushin" also is often used to mean "without mind" (not occupied by thought or emotion). (1)

Using the "fudo" root, other related terms include "fudo-chi," meaning immovable spirit or wisdom that can't be influenced, or confused, "fudotai" or immovable body, and "fudoshise" or immovable stance and "fudo-dachi" or "immovable stance" also sometimes referred to as a "preparation stance" (as in the initial and final stance in kata, one that allows the participant freedom of movement and action in any direction).

The concept of "Fudo" is also important to martial artists. The famous Zen priest Takuan in his famous three part treatise titled "Fudochi Shinmyoroku" ("The Mysterious Records of Immovable Wisdom") identifies Fudo-Myo-o attributes as they apply to Japanese (Samurai) swordsmanship. He notes the Fudo Myo-o's grasp of the sword in his right hand, his body standing firmly with mind immovable (detached and not distracted), looking at something but not stopping the mind during a flow of action or combat. He warned the Samurai against stopping the mind on a particular object, emotion or thought, noting that such stopping clutters (stops) the mind, something that curtailed the performance of technique.

The most famous Japanese swordsman known today is Miyamoto Masashi. He too was influenced by Fudo Myo-o. "Fudo" and its derivative concepts (noted above) represent a central concept in Masashi's strategy of combat (that reflect Takuan's tenets), (3) ideas he later encapsulated in his famous text on strategy, "The Book of Five Rings."

Even today many martial artists use Zazen (seated Zen meditation), chants (some derived from Esoteric Buddhism), and other to clear, fortify and purify the mind. Standing and/or meditating under a cold waterfall is another similar practice. Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, is famous for this practice (which he termed Misogi) of ritual purification. (4)

It should be noted, however, that in modern times most martial artists who use these practices do so to enhance their mental and spiritual discipline, and to clarity their awareness and mind, ends that are separate from any religion or religious doctrine.

Modern martial artists also express similar concepts of the immovable mind. Mas Oyama (founder of Kyokushinkai karate and one of my first karate teachers), for example, used to tell me that the ideal karate mind is that of a person who could walk through a burning building without fear -- a very Fudo Myo-o image.

Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura (founder of Seido Karate and my current karate teacher) has said that a true karate-ka must be present in the now, the present moment, totally absorbed in action, mind void of distraction (thought or emotion) and spirit supreme.

Author's Note:
Two other articles on FightingArts.com give practical advice related to the concept of "no mind." See: "Fighting Zen - How Meditation Can Enhance Your Fighting Skills" and is "Controlling The Flinch, The Blink and The Turn Away."

- - - Footnotes:
1-Mushin or "no mind" is also a very popular concept in Zen where meditation is used to free the mind of thought or emotions while simultaneously developing awareness, and focus, not on just one spot or image, but on everything perceived.

2-Few Samurai before the Edo period actually practiced Zen, although later it became popular.

3-Masashi is also noted for his brushwork and drawings, one being a remarkable 18 inch high wood carving he made of Fudo Myo-o. Masashi is also known for his practice of ritually purifying himself under ice cold waterfalls. There is no evidence, however, that Masashi actually practiced esoteric Mikkyo Buddhism in addition to his study of Zen, although he was influenced by Fudo Myo-o.

4-When I visited Ueshiba's summer retreat and dojo in Iwama, Japan in 1994 (later the home dojo of Seito Sensei), students talked about the waterfall in the nearby hills that Ueshiba has often used for this practice. _
