Sangatsudō로 알려진 Hokkedō는 Tōdaiji의 현존하는 가장 오래된 건물로, 전통적으로 733년으로 추정됩니다. 이 국보는 Fukūkensaku Kannon과 나라 시대의 10개 조각상을 보유하고 있으며, 그 이름은 3월에 이곳에서 열리는 법화경 의식을 상기시킵니다.
왜 가볼 만한가
- Walk the full 20 minutes from Kintetsu Nara Station rather than taking a taxi, as this approach through Nara Park allows you to mentally transition away from crowds and arrive at the hall in a quieter, more contemplative state of mind.
- Plan to spend at least 20-30 minutes inside to absorb the arrangement of the ten statues, particularly the multi-armed Fukūkensaku Kannon at the center flanked by the fierce Kongō Rikishi and the Four Divine Kings, which together create the intended effect of witnessing the world of the Buddhas.
- Arrive early in the morning or visit on a weekday to experience the hall in near solitude, since most visitors focus on the larger Great Buddha Hall and remain unaware this oldest structure at Tōdai-ji exists.
