|Uta Nenbutsu
The |main image of |this temple is a |work by |Priest |Eshin, and |there is |also the |Amida |Triad.
|Long ago, |wars |frequently |broke out, and when |shrines and |temples |fell into ruin, a |traveling |monk |came and |asked the |villagers, "What is the |pilgrimage song of |this temple?" |Without hesitation, they |sang it |loudly with a |melody, and when they finished, they said that this is how they used to sing it |interestingly in the old days while on |pilgrimage.
The |traveling |monk |rejoiced and said, "How wonderful, that |pilgrimage song is |superior to |others, so |do not |forget it. |Soon, the |wars will subside, |peace will |return, and the |Buddha's teachings will |flourish for a |long time," and after instructing them, he |vanished. |This was the |manifestation of the |Bodhisattva |Kannon, and |before long, |peace was restored and the temple's |prosperity is a |miraculous |divine favor.
* "|Reigen" is |divine favor.
