This temple is located in Kibe, Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture. It is the head temple of the Shinshu Kibe sect. Its mountain name is Henshozan Tenjingohoin. In 858 (Ten'an 2), Jikaku Daishi (Ennin) built a temple here and enshrined Bishamonten. This was called Tenando, and is said to be the origin of this temple. In 1235 (Kasei 1), Shinran stayed in this hall on his way back to Kyoto from the Kanto region and received a revelation from Bishamonten in a dream. He enshrined Amida Buddha there and made it into a nembutsu hall. According to temple legend, Shinran wrote "Kyogyoshinsho" at this temple. In 1238 (Rekijin 1), a miraculous event occurred when a heavenly maiden descended from the sky and wove purple and red brocade to make an offering to the principal image of the deity. Emperor Shijo bestowed a plaque reading "Tenjingoho Nishikiori-ji Temple" on the temple and made it a temple built on imperial prayer. The temple's name is said to have been derived from this. In 1573 (Tensho 1), the temple was granted the title of Monzeki. During the battle between Hongan-ji Temple and Oda Nobunaga in the Tensho era (1573-92), the temple claimed to be a follower of the Jodo sect, and became a dual sect scholar.

滋賀県野洲(やす)市木部(きべ)にある寺。真宗木辺(きべ)派の本山。山号は遍照山天神護法院。858年(天安2)慈覚大師(円仁(えんにん))がこの地に一宇を建立し、毘沙門天(びしゃもんてん)を祀(まつ)った。これを天安堂といい、当寺の起源であるという。1235年(嘉禎1)親鸞(しんらん)が関東から京都へ帰る途中、この堂に泊まり毘沙門天より夢告を受け、阿弥陀(あみだ)仏を安置して念仏堂場とした。寺伝では親鸞が『教行信証(きょうぎょうしんしょう)』を当寺にて著したという。 1238年(暦仁1)天女が来降し、紫紅の錦(にしき)を織って本尊を供養(くよう)したという奇瑞(きずい)によって、四条(しじょう)天皇は天神護法錦織寺という扁額(へんがく)を与え、勅願寺とした。寺名はこれに由来するという。1573年(天正1)門跡(もんぜき)号を許された。天正(てんしょう)年間(1573~92)本願寺と織田信長の戦いに際し、浄土宗を信奉していると主張して以来、二宗兼学となった。 [清水 乞] [参照項目] | | |阿弥陀堂と天安堂(写真右奥)。滋賀県野洲市©公益社団法人びわこビジターズビューロー"> 錦織寺 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 |
