唐招提寺
先般、立原正秋の小説、「春の鐘」を読んだ事からか、何と無く奈良に行ってみたくなり、先週末の土曜日、妻を誘って唐招提寺と薬師寺に行ってきた。時間が有れば、東大寺とか奈良町付近にも足を伸ばそうと思っていたが、唐招提寺に魅入られて、ここだけで3時間を要し、薬師寺は駆け足で回っただけ。
それにしても唐招提寺は素晴らしかった。過去何回か行っているが、素朴な寺だな・・くらいの感想しかなかったが、今回は何故か魅入られてしまった。これが年なのかな・・・？。
年齢に従い興味を覚えるものが変化して行き、多くの人は、動物、植物、石と変わっていくといわれるが、神社仏閣などもそれなりに変わっていくようです。
Perhaps because I read the novel “The Bell of Spring” by Masaaki Tachihara the other day, I felt like going to Nara for some reason. If I had more time, I was planning to go to Todaiji or Nara-machi, but I was so fascinated by Tozoji that it took me 3 hours to visit there alone, and I only went around Yakushiji in a hurry.
Even so, Tang Zhaoji Temple was wonderful. I’ve been to the temple several times in the past, but this time, I was fascinated by the temple for some reason. I wonder if this is the age…?
It is said that as we age, our interests change, and most people change to animals, plants, and stones, but shrines and temples also seem to change in their own way.
