Virtual Hachioji 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #17 Muryo-in Temple

 

     Muryo-in Temple has been abolished.  Only a stone monument tells us there used to be Muryo-in Temple.  Hachioji 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #17 deity, the statue of Cintamanicakra, who usually has 6 arms and holds chintamani (a wish-fulfilling jewel) in one of the six, is still enshrined in a shed near the stone monument along with the statue of Arya Avalokitesvara, who is the human-figure prototype of other 6 metamorphoses, the Acalanatha statue, and one more Buddhist image, which might have been brought from somewhere else.

     The membership of the Hachioji 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #17 was removed to Hosen-ji Temple.
