Sanbo no Tsurigane Bells

Along the stairway from the temple entrance to the main hall is a bell tower with three golden bells. They are known as Sanbo no Tsurigane (“Bells of the Three Treasures”) and represent the so-called three treasures of Buddhism: the Buddha, the dharma, and the sangha. “Buddha” refers to those who have reached enlightenment like Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha; “dharma” represents Buddhist teachings and the natural order of the universe; and “sangha” is the community of followers who practice and spread those beliefs. Each bell in the set is decorated with a kanji character for one of the three treasures.

Many temples have a bell, but an arrangement of three bells is rather uncommon. This design was conceived with the hope that three separate bells with three distinct tones would illustrate the spiritual concept of the three treasures of Buddhism in a relatable way. Visitors are welcome to ring the Sanbo no Tsurigane bells in the order of the treasures, Buddha (佛), dharma (法), and sangha (僧), and hear the reverberations echo across the mountainside.

三寶之鐘

從寺門通往本堂（正殿）的台階邊上立著一座鐘樓，上懸三口金鐘被合稱為「三寶之鐘」，分別代表著佛教中的佛、法、僧「三寶」。「佛」即達到開悟境界者，比如後來成為了釋迦牟尼佛的歷史人物喬達摩·悉達多；「法」即佛法，包括宇宙的自然秩序；「僧」即修行和傳播佛法的信徒教眾。三口鐘上分別鐫刻著以上三個漢字。

許多寺院都有梵鐘，但成套的三口鐘非常少見。其設計概念是希望借助聲調音色不同的三口鐘，以通俗易懂的方式來表現佛教三寶的精神意蘊。訪客可以依照「佛、法、僧」的順序敲鐘，聆聽鐘聲在山間迴響。
