北投不動明王石窟 - Taipei City

Beitou Fudo Mingwang Grottoes, located opposite to No. 2 Xinglin Lane, Youya Road, Beitou District, Taipei City, are hidden and not easy for ordinary tourists to visit. In 1925 (the 14th year of Taisho), the Japanese Saano Shoutaro, in order to make the "Hoshinoyu" hot spring hotel business prosperous, excavated a grotto (approximately 1.5*1.0*1.5 meters) on the mountain wall here. A majestic and angry statue of King Fudo Ming, with a sword in his right hand and a cable in his left hand, is also enshrined in a vivid and lifelike appearance (there is a notice on the prohibition of shooting, so there is no stone statue of Fudo King). On October 14, 1987, it was announced as a designated historic site in Taipei City. Next to the temple, there is a trickle of clear water falling from the height of the rock wall, forming a "super mini waterfall" or so-called "Fudo waterfall," and the waterfall gathers into a small pool. On the left and right sides of the waterfall, there are the "Great Snake Myojin Monument" and the "Blue Dragon Myojin Monument" respectively. The two Myojins are the protector gods subdued by Fudo Myojin. The area of ​​the whole area is only about 30 square meters, and the visiting time is only 5 minutes. However, there are few people and vehicles and it is very quiet. If you do not hurry, take a rest on the stone bench in front of the waterfall. The breeze of the lake is clear and it is very leisurely. . There are also back seats for tourists/pilgrims to rest beside the pavilion in front of the grotto. Friends who drove there, from the big bend near the "Marshal Zen Garden", enter the small road marked by the "Tianbao Sacred Road Palace", winding up along the way, there is no lack of a bird's-eye view, just pay attention to the three-way intersection and continue straight (don't left Bend), and you will arrive soon (near Yongxing Palace). The grotto is located on a asphalt road, and there are only one or two places on the roadside that do not affect the traffic. However, it is usually inaccessible and there should be a chance to stop.

In a cool and quiet place, I bowed to King Ming wholeheartedly. The magnetic field of this place is very good, don't disturb the quiet mind.

After climbing through here, the road passes through the culvert and you are right in front of you. It feels like a source of peach blossoms. The entire grotto is naturally excavated and contains the Fudo Mingwang inside. The stone wall waterfall next to it is directly installed with railings according to the terrain. The entire scenic area They are all combined with the stone walls. They are very special and worth seeing, but they cannot be reached by public transportation.

Taiwan has gone through 30 years of Japanese occupation, and the "30th Anniversary of the Founding of Political Affairs Exhibition" was founded here in 1925. Japan has just experienced the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 and the Japanese economy has turned from prosperity to decline. At this time, Taiwan is undergoing a great transformation. The pursuit of material civilization, the improvement of disease prevention and control, the ripples of social movements, music performances, theatrical performances and films 's screening.

In 1925, the operator of the hotel Hoshinoyu: Shotaro Zuano, a Japanese, was founded in order to pray for a prosperous business and to cooperate with the hot spring hotel he ran. It is closely related to the development of Beitou hot spring area, and its scale is small. There is a hand water platform and a pavilion in front, and a clear spring and waterfall next to the cave. The scenery is elegant and it can be described as one of the scenic spots in Beitou. It is said that King Fudo Ming is the incarnation of the Great Tathagata, belonging to the Shingon sect of esoteric Buddhism, which is rare in Taiwan. This grotto has historical, cultural and artistic value. It was designated as a municipal historic site on 10/14/1998. It is located opposite No. 2 Xinglin Lane, Youya Road, Beitou District. The cave, which is enshrined with stone statues, is a rare Buddhist grotto in Taiwan. There are five great kings of Buddhist tantric guardian deities, including King Fudoming, King Jiang Sanshi, King Jundali, King Dawei Deming, and King Gangyaksha, also known as Mingwang. Five great honors. In addition, there are the Eight Great Kings of Ming or the Ten Great Kings of Ming, all of whom are protectors of the law, so their demeanor is mostly in the form of mighty might. The statue of King Fudo Ming has a rope in its left hand, which is said to bind ghosts, and a wound in its right hand, which can subdue demons.
