词条 | Bishamon |
释义 | Bishamon Japanese god also called Bishamonten in Japanese mythology, one of the Shichi-fuku-jin (“Seven Gods of Luck”). He is identified with the Buddhist guardian of the north, known as Kubera, or Vaiśravaṇa. Bishamon is always depicted as dressed in full armour, carrying a spear and a miniature pagoda. He is the protector of the righteous and is the Buddhist patron of warriors. The temple city of Shigi near Ōji (west-central Honshu) is dedicated to him. It was founded, according to tradition, by Shōtoku Taishi (Shōtoku, Taishi) (AD 573–621), who attributed a victory over an enemy of Buddhism to Bishamon's assistance. See also Shichi-fuku-jin. |
