✨😇A SLICE OF PARADISE🪷🎶
Byōdō-in's ( 平等院) Hōō-dō (鳳凰堂 'Phoenix Hall') was completed in 1053. Once completely surrounded by Aji-ga-ike pond, the stretch of water helped protect the building from fires in 1336 and 1483 that completely destroyed the rest of the temple.

Likely beginning as a summer retreat for Minamoto-no-Tōru (源融 822-95), possible inspiration for Murasaki Shikibu's "Genji", the property passed through the hands of Emperor Uda, Minamoto-no-Shigenobu (源重信 - Uda's grandson), and on to the powerful Regent Fujiwara-no-Michinaga.

Byōdō-in's founding date is significant as it was considered the 2001 year since Buddha had entered Nirvana and the 1st year of 'The Age of Decline of the Buddhist Law' (末法 'mappō').
Many nobles funded halls and gardens dedicated to Amida, lord of the 'Western Pure Land Paradise'. -
Byōdō-in's founding date is significant as it was considered the 2001 year since Buddha had entered Nirvana and the 1st year of 'The Age of Decline of the Buddhist Law' (末法 'mappō').
Many nobles funded halls and gardens dedicated to Amida, lord of the 'Western Pure Land Paradise'.The original main hall stood closer to the river, but in 1053 the current Hōō-dō was constructed as part of an 'earthly paradise'.
Such was Byōdō-in's beauty that a famous saying went ..."If you are suspicious about the existence of Amida's Pure Land, pray at the Temple in Uji".

Before the 'Phoenix Hall' (officially known as the Amida-dō, and commonly called this right up to 1680) is a stone lantern that has survived since the temple's foundation.
At the height of its power Byōdō-in's precincts boasted 26 halls, 7 pagodas, and an elaborate garden.

#京都like a fossil tree
from which we gather no flowers
sad has been my life
fated no fruit to produce埋もれ木の
花咲くことも
なかりしに
身のなる果てぞ
悲しかりける-Death poem of Minamoto-no-Yorimasa (源頼政 1106-80), leader of the Minamoto forces at the start of the Genpei War.

@joel That's great. And you feel a warmer approach.

@sio questo sito abbassa notevolmente la produttività lavorativa e fa schizzare in orbita il riderissimo. Ottimo lavoro!

@oblomov @andre123 restare civili si può con l'ignoranza e la superficialità
Ci chiuderemo volontariamente nella bolla, attaccati alle macchine e a un mondo virtuale come in Matrix
Solo l'incoscienza ci salverà

I came to Köln for the day on a lark and randomly sat next to Leslie Hawthorn at a crowded cafe. It's a good day!

@aeva when linux mama and linux papa love each other very much....

@oblomov Io penso che andare in quella direzione, per quanto difficile, vista l'evoluzione tecnologica, finirà per esser necessario prima o poi, altro che irrealistico....
Se continui a toglier lavoro...e la longevità si mantiene mediamente alta (mi gratto, scusate) e la popolazione mondiale idem....prima o poi toccherà metterci mano a sta cosa...se vogliamo rimanere civili eh...
