尊勝寺に祀られている米地蔵尊(よねじぞう)は、元勅願所金蔵寺のご本尊として祀られていたもので、慈覚大師の作とも、慈覚大師が唐から将来された尊像とも伝えられます。平安朝初期の特徴をあらわす立像の地蔵尊です。
伝記には、「昔、粟田の里に貧女あり、尊崇年久しく、ついに霊応を感じて貧苦を免れる。彼女貧しかりし時、この尊像米袋を持ち来って与う、この故に世 人、ヨネ地蔵と称す」と、呼び名の由来が記されています。「米地蔵を拝めば米に不自由しない」といわれ、古来みなさんに親しまれてきました。京洛四十八願 所地蔵尊の第廿四番の霊場とされ、その御詠歌には、次のように詠まれています。

Jizo Bodhisattva:
Modern Healing and Traditional Buddhist Practice
by Jan Chozen Bays (Author)

.
Bodhisattva means "enlightenment being" in Sanskrit i.e., one who is ready to pass over into nirvana and merge into oneness with the universe. The bodhisattva, however, postpones nirvana out of compassion for others, vowing to help them until they are able to make the journey. Like Christian saints, bodhisattvas mediate between human and divine realms; they often work miracles, and much like patron saints they have areas of special interest or competence. A mostly legendary figure regarded as a protector of children and the weak as well as a healer, Jizo Bodhisattva is widely revered.
Bays, a pediatrician specializing in child-abuse prevention and a Zen priest who heads the Larch Mountain Zen Center in Oregon, presents a clear and intelligent portrait of Jizo. Displaying a gift for communicating emotions, she also shares how that figure has affected her personal experiences with children and helped her deal with collective pain. This book will appeal to both casual readers and specialists in public and academic libraries, especially those with substantial religion collections.

Jizo Bodhisattva:
Guardian of Children, Travelers, and Other Voyagers
by Jan Chozen Bays (Author)

.
Jizo is an important bodhisattva or "saint" of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Most prominent today in Japanese Zen, Jizo is understood to be the protector of those journeying through the physical and spiritual realms. This bodhisattva is closely associated with children, believed to be their guardian before birth, throughout childhood, and after death.
Here, an American Zen master offers an engaging and informative overview of the history of this important figure and conveys the practices and rituals connected with him, including a simple ceremony for remembering children who have died. Inspired by her own personal experience with Jizo practice, Bays explains how the Buddhist teachings on Jizo can bring peace to those confronted with suffering and loss.

Tako Jizo たこ八郎地蔵(法昌寺)
たこ八郎と聞いても今の若い人には馴染みがないかもしれません
元プロボクサーで役者やコメディアンとして多くの人々に愛されていた人物です
ノーガードで相手に打たせるボクシングスタイルは、あしたのジョーの矢吹丈のモデルになったともいわれています
しかし人気絶頂だった1985年に飲酒後に海水浴をして心臓マヒで帰らぬ人となってしまいました

その年の秋に由利徹、赤塚不二夫らが発起人となり、たこ八郎地蔵が建てられました
