It is believed that Gyoki was an incarnation of Monju Bosatsu (Manjusri), and the jigo (literally "temple name," which is the title given to a Buddhist temple) comes from Dasheng Zhilin-si (the Chinese pronunciation for Holy Chikurin-ji Temple) on Wutai-shan Mountain in China, which is considered Monju Bosatsu's holy land. |
行基は文殊菩薩の化身と信じられており、寺号は文殊菩薩の聖地である中国の五台山 (中国)大聖竹林寺にちなむ。 |
