सेंसोजी कन्‍नन टेंपल


सेंसोजी कन्‍नन टेंपल जापान की राजधानी टोक्‍यों के असाकुसा डिस्ट्रिक्‍ट में स्थित है। टोक्‍यों का सबसे पुराना यह टेंपल, बौद्ध दया की देवी गुआनयिन को समर्पित है। किंवदंतियो के अनुसार, दो मछुआरे भाइयों हिनाकुमा हमानारी, हिनोकुमा टेकनारी को 628 ईस्‍वी में सुमिडा नदी के किनारे पर बोधिसत्‍व कन्‍नन की मूर्ति मिली थी मूर्ति के महत्‍व को पहचानते हुए उनके गांव के मुखिया हाजीनो नाकामोटो ने 645 ईस्‍वी में अपने घर को ही मंदिर में बदल दिया था। वर्तमान में यहां प्रतिवर्ष लभभग 30 मिलियन विजिटर्स आते हैं।

सेंसोजी टेंपल द्वितीय विश्‍वयुद्ध के दौरान बम गियाए जाने के कारण नष्‍ट हो गया था, जिसका पुनर्निर्माण करवाया गया है। संसोजी टेंपल प्रतिवर्ष वसंत ऋतु में यहां आयोजित होने वाले टोक्‍यों के सबसे बड़े फेस्टिवल ‘सांजा मत्‍सुरी’ के लिए भी प्रसिद्ध है। टेंपल में प्रवेश के लिए कमिनारिमॉन या ‘थंडर गेट’ और होजोमॉन या ‘ट्रेजर हाउस गेट’ बने हुए है। पांच मंजिल तक बने हुए इस पगोडा के नजदीक ही दोनों मछुआरे भाइयो व उनके गाव के मुख्यिा को समर्पित असाकुसा श्राइन भी स्थित है।

The clerks make me nervous; the little windows at the counters make me nervous the sight of the money makes me nervous; everything makes me nervous. The moment I go through the door of a bank and attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I knew this before I went in, but my salary had been raised to fifty six dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place. For it. So I walked in with dragging feet and looked shyly round at the clerks. I had an idea that a person about to open an account was obliged to consult the manager. I went up to a counter marked ‘Accountant’. The Accountant was a tall, cool fellow. The very sight of him made me nervous. My voice was deep and hollow . can I see the manager? I said, and added solemnly alone. I don’t know why I said ‘alone’. certainly, siad the accountant, and fetch...
