Practice of asceticism while enduring the suffering of the cold. Also called kanshugyo. For 30 days from the onset of the cold season, people beg for alms, recite sutras, sit in meditation, chant the Nembutsu, and chant the daimoku. This is based on the belief that since the suffering is greater than during the warmer months, the merits are also greater. Parading around the city striking a gong and chanting Nembutsu and wasan is called kan nembutsu, visiting shrines and temples is called kan mairi, and praying to the gods and Buddhas and bathing in water during the cold season is called kangori. Ordinary people sometimes undertake kangyo in order to pray to the gods and Buddhas for mastery of a skill.

寒苦に堪え忍んで修行すること。寒修行(かんしゅぎょう)ともいう。寒(かん)の入りから30日間、毎日、托鉢(たくはつ)や誦経(じゅきょう)、坐禅(ざぜん)、念仏(ねんぶつ)、題目(だいもく)などを行う。温暖な時期に比較して忍苦の度が大きいので、その功徳(くどく)も多大であるという信仰に基づく。鉦(かね)をたたいて念仏や和讃(わさん)を唱えて市中を巡行するのを寒念仏といい、神社仏閣に参るのを寒参り、神仏に祈誓して寒中に水を浴びるのを寒垢離(かんごり)という。一般の人が技能の熟達を神仏に願い、寒行することもある。 [石川力山] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
