No commentsBy Mitchel Alvane Regis
One of the greatest things you could do this life is to tour countries. And if you are an avid fan of Zen, the Golden Pavillion Temple must be included in your itinerary.
This temple was built in 1397 to serve as a retirement lodge for Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, as division of his estate known then as Kitayama. It was his son who transformed the edifice into a Zen sanctuary of the school of Rinzai. The temple was burned down twice during the Nin War.
The Golden Pavillion, or Kinkaku, is a building with three stories on the grounds of the temple. The pavillion’s top two stories are shrouded with authentic gold leaf. The pavilion also functions as a shariden, housing remnants of Buddha (Buddha’s Ashes). And the edifice is frequently contrasted or linked the Silver Pavillion Temple, the Ginkaku-ji, which is located also in Kyoto.
Golden Pavillion is placed in a marvelous (Kaiy-shiki) Japanese strolling garden. The pond in the facade is called Kyko-chi (Mirror Pond). And there are many islands and stones on the pond that signify the Buddhist creation story.
In the year 1950, the pavillion was burned down by a monk, who then attempted to end his life on Daimon-ji hill that is behind the building. He survived, but during the investigation after the arrest of the monk, his mother called in to talk with the police; on her way home, she ended her life by jumping from her train to a river valley.
That monk was sentenced to seven years in prison; he pass away because of an illness during his incarceration in 1956. At that historical moment, the Ashikaga Yoshimitsu statue was burned down. A fictional account of those occurences is at the center of Yukio Mishima’s 1956 book The Temple of the Golden Pavillion.
