早朝に京都へ。
宿に荷物を預けまず向かったのは東寺。桜満開です。五重の塔、瓢箪池は絶好のお花見日和。金堂・講堂を拝観し、ひんやりとした堂内に悠久の佇まいの如来様たちや神将様たちを見上げて。南大門の前を通り過ぎて「羅城門跡」へ。小さな小さな公園の真ん中、囲いの中に碑が残るのみ。。。朱雀大路の南端の面影はすっかりないけれど、KUROSAWAのワンシーンと重ねてみたり。戦火に翻弄された古都。
バスに乗って東福寺へ。北へ、まず目指すのは瀬尾神社。拝殿天井の木彫り龍に会いに。迫力です。そして東福寺へ。またとてつもなく広いんだこのお寺さん。通天橋も渡り八相の庭も見て、巨大な門や蒸し風呂の浴室も。とにかくスケールが大きいのと同時に枯山水の庭の細やかなこと。言わずもがな外国のお客様がとても多かったのだけれど、しばし軒先に座り込んで無心に庭に見入る様子には洋の東西を問わず言葉を失う感動は誰しも一緒、とそのことにも感じ入った。
さてここからが本日のメイン。数ある東福寺塔頭の一つであり、鬼門の北に位置することから毘沙門堂とも呼ばれる勝林寺さんで坐禅体験に参加した。20人ほどが、お坊様による坐禅の説明やお寺の歴史などを含めぜんぶで約1時間、本堂裏の会場に集い、座禅 15分✖️2。半分くらいは外国の方々。裏話あり、笑いありのお話をくださったのは目元が某AB蔵氏にそっくりな若いお坊様。昨晩の睡眠不足が祟り数回喝を入れて貰いつつ完遂。良い経験でした。。こちらも龍のご縁。
で一路、鴨川を渡り、チェックインすべく宿へ。しばし休んで軽く食事に出かけ今ふたたび帰着、というわけ。これから大浴場、陶板浴に行って参ります。
で、戻りました。休みます〜 21000歩、疲れました。眠いっす。ギャラリーのキャプションは明日つけます。
おやすみなさい。よい夢を。。。
