Fudō-dō

The Fudō-dō is a small hall within the cluster of temples and halls in the Shimo-Daigo area, dedicated to the worship of the Five Great Wisdom Kings (Godai Myō-ō). It not only echoes the devotion to the Wisdom Kings in the upper areal, but also acts as the main location for ascetic fire rituals that are held to pray for worldwide peace and prosperity.

The building is named after Fudō Myō-ō, “the Immovable One,” the most important and central Wisdom King of the five. Despite the fact that this icon has been transmitted from India, proving to be a truly ancient icon, Fudō Myō-ō established himself not only as a popular protector within Japanese Buddhism, but also as one of the foremost deities of Japanese mountain asceticism. His repeated appearance at Daigo-ji is owing to his link to Shugen-dō. The goma fire rituals held in front of the hall are known both as a visual fire spectacle and as a magical sound experience performed by the powerful chanting of the monks, to which the audience of devotees often tunes in.

不動堂

不動堂位於散布著眾多廳堂的下醍醐，造型小巧，供奉五大明王。除祭祀明王之外，不動堂亦是焚燒護摩的壇場，以祈求世界和平與繁榮。其名取自五大明王中地位最為重要、位於正中央的「不動明王」。

不動明王本是起源於印度的古老神明，不過在日本佛教中，祂不僅是守護神，更在山岳信仰的神祇中占有一席之地。醍醐寺因與修驗道關係緊密，故不動明王的存在便隨處可見。堂前舉行的焚燒護摩儀式相當知名，熊熊烈火營造出的壯觀景象；僧侶們渾厚有力的祈禱幻生出神秘之音——這些都可謂非凡體驗。儀式上，還時常可見信眾專注的聆聽之姿。
