. En no Gyôja 役行者 En no Gyoja .
kane 鐘， En no Gyoja 役行者
長福寺の門前に貧しい山伏がいた。大峰修行の際、ある老僧から援助を受けていたが、その老僧が入滅後に後を継いだ住職は、金銀を惜しみ、撞鐘で役立つならもっていけといった。その晩、山伏の枕もとに白髪の老人が現れ、峰入は心配するなといって消えた。次の日、鐘がなくなっていた。住職が山伏と一緒に大峰に行く途中の夜、山鳴りがして大岩の上に鐘が引っかかったという話を聞いて見に行くと、寺の鐘であった。老人は役行者の化身であった。
遠江国長福寺にある時、山伏が来て路銭を乞うた。住僧は嘲弄して、寺にはかねと名のつくものは鐘しかない。それでよかったら持っていけと言った。すると山伏は喜んで、鐘を軽々と持って走っていった。この鐘は大峯釈迦嶽の松に掛かった状態で今でもある。
