"Bishamon Heaven Appearing Under the Sea" On September 10, 1773, Jinsuke Ohara (15 years old), who was crossing the sea of Shinagawa on a boat bound for Edo, found the only Buddha statue shining in the sea, and picked it up. Put it in the landlord's shed for a few days. The master, Ichinosuke Kihara, suddenly collapses with a high fever, and no medicine is effective even if he tries his best, and when he asks the fortune teller for his last request, he is told that there is a cause in your house. He gathers the servants and asks them all about it, and they tell him that Jinsuke picked up a shining Buddha statue in the sea. Immediately, Mr. Kihara placed the Buddha statue in an alcove and recited the Lotus Sutra, which suddenly lowered his fever. I was surprised by it, and after a few days of chanting thanksgiving, I had a divine dream... "Sorry, for a few years, I was caught in a rough sea, and I lost my halberd and my treasure tower." Mr. Kihara immediately commissioned a Buddhist master, equipped with a bowl and a treasure pagoda, and for the first time he realized that it was Bishamonten, the guardian god of the north, excluding demons. Remembering that this is the dharma virtue that is born at the foot of the great mountain of the grateful Lotus Sutra (Ikegami Honmonji), Ikegami Honmonji 30th generation Nichiri Jojin begs for eye opening. However, the Bishamon Heaven that appeared in the sea was a spiritual experience, and it was difficult for a lay person to enshrine it, and it was to be guarded in the subtle hermitage, which is north of Tokumochi. After that, he continued to heal the illnesses of those who prayed for pilgrimage, and the temples were reduced to ashes in an air raid in the middle of the night on April 24, Showa 20 However, Bishamon Heaven escapes with blessings. Currently, the main hall of the shrine was opened on November 3, Showa 44, with the cooperation of each volunteer believer in the town. Through your efforts and efforts, we have been rebuilt to the present.
