[Kyoto] The Afro Buddha underwent a long period of training

●Name Goko-Meditation Amida Buddha (Afro Great Buddha) ●Access 121 Kurodani-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 🚌Take the Kyoto City Bus and get off at Higashitenno-cho, then walk for 4 minutes 🚗Paid parking available ●Points As you walk up the stairs from Konkai-Komyoji Temple to the three-story pagoda, you will find the Afro Great Buddha The reason he has an Afro is apparently the result of his long training... The name "Goko-Meditation Amida Buddha" comes from the fact that "he spent five kalpas meditating intently, making forty-eight vows, and training to become Amida Buddha" There are only about 16 such Goko-Meditation Amida Buddhas in the whole country, so they are very precious #QuintessaCampaign #Kyoto
