Daijingu-ji Temple

Japanese: 大神宮寺 - だいじんぐうじ

One of the Buddhist facilities associated with Ise Grand Shrine. There is also Horakusha (Horakuji) from the Kamakura period, but in ancient times there was Daijingu-ji Temple for a time. The article in the Shoku Nihongi, "The Chronicles of Japan," in which Taki Daijingu-ji Temple was moved to Watarai County in December 698, is difficult to establish as a reliable proof of Daijingu-ji Temple because the character for "temple" is missing in the old manuscript, but the article in the same book for July 766, "Tenpyo Jingo-ji Temple," in which the Imperial Court dispatched an envoy to have a 18-foot Buddha statue erected for Ise Daijingu-ji Temple. The Daijingu Shozajiki, in addition, states that in 767, an imperial decree was issued to make Oukasedera Temple Daijingu-ji Temple, but in 776, "Hōki-ji Temple" was abolished due to the disturbances caused by the temple's monks.

Japanese:

伊勢神宮に付随する仏教的施設の一つ。このほか鎌倉時代の法楽舎(法楽寺)があるが，古代には一時期大神宮寺があった。《続日本紀》文武2年(698)12月，多気大神宮寺を度会（わたらい）郡に遷すとある記事は，古写本に〈寺〉の字がないのがあって，大神宮寺の確かな徴証になりにくいが，同書の天平神護2年(766)7月の記事に，朝廷は使を遣わし，伊勢大神宮寺のために丈六仏像を造立せしめたとある。また，《太神宮諸雑事記》には，神護景雲1年(767)逢鹿瀬寺（おうかせでら）を大神宮寺となす旨の宣旨が下り宝亀7年(776)には寺僧らの濫妨により廃止されたとある。
