Stepping away from the bustle of Shibuya Ward and into a corner wrapped in silence, one finds a presence that transcends the flow of time. This stone Buddha, known as the Amida Stone Coffin Buddha, still wears a gentle smile even after many long years.
On the surface of the stone coffin, the intricate carvings remain visible despite being exposed to the elements. The Buddha’s face is serene, as if to calm the hearts of those who visit. Moss-covered stones are scattered around, creating a beauty born from the harmony of nature and human craftsmanship.
In this place, the faith and prayers of people from the past are still alive. When you bring your hands together before the stone Buddha, you forget the city’s noise and are enveloped by a sense of spiritual cleansing. The chirping of birds and the rustling of trees gently echo within the silence.
The Amida Stone Coffin Buddha has long served as a spiritual anchor for people across the ages. Its presence teaches the importance of pausing and facing oneself amid the busyness of modern life. In this tranquil space, past and present intersect, allowing one to regain inner peace.
