"A" is a Sanskrit character that is the first sound made with the mouth open, so in Buddhism it represents the beginning of things. The statue of Nio with its mouth open is called the A-shape. Source : Hofu Web History Museum Hofu City History Glossary Information |
「阿」は梵字[ぼんじ]で口を開いて発する最初の音声なので、仏教では物事の始まりを表します。口を開いている仁王像[におうぞう]を阿形と言います。
