This image, which is also called 'Konjiki Fudo Myoo' (Golden God of Fire), appeared suddenly in front of Enchin (he was 25 years old at that time), who had been doing ascetic practices at Mt. Hiei, in 838 and said, 'I am Konjiki Fudo Myoo.' 「金色(こんじき)不動明王」とも呼ばれるこの像は、承和 (日本)5年(838年)、比叡山で籠山修行中の円珍(当時25歳)の前に忽然と現われ、「自分は金色不動明王である。」と言った。 |
