Virtual Gyotoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #33 Dairen-ji Temple

 

     Gyoki carved a Mahasthamaprapta statue, and it was enshrined along Sakai River, which ran between Nekozane and Horie Villages in Gyotoku.

     In 1544, Priest Zon'ei from Dairen-ji Temple in Odawara visited Horie Village and saw the statue.  He was charmed by the statue and founded another Dairen-ji Temple in the village.  The statue has been caught in fire several times, yet survived and retains its original shape.
