雑草句録(Weedy Haiku Records):本願寺(The Honganji Temple)
■鉦鳴りて和讃響くや本願寺
●Kane narite wasan hibikuya honganji
かねなりて わさんひびくや ほんかんじ
▲The gong sounded
The Buddhism hymn echoed
In The Honganji Temple
朝の散歩で旅先の京都の寺をまわった。本願寺は門が開いており信者が広間で和讃を唱え
ていた。そこに紛れ込んでしばし時を過ごした。観光とは異なる信仰の雰囲気があった。
In a travel to Kyoto, I visited several temples for walking.
The gate of The Honganji Temple was open,
and the Buddhists were singing Buddhism hymn in chorus in the hall.
I stayed for a while in the Buddhist crowd.
There was religious atmosphere different from sightseeing.
