These 2 stone figures teach a very important lesson.
On one side is an animal with its mouth OPEN,
while on the other side the animal has a CLOSED mouth.
This reminds us that we are born with our mouth OPEN and wailing, while when we die our mouths are CLOSED.
The distance between the 2 statues is our lifespan.
WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THIS TIME?
Through this space we walk into the temple!

What I absolutely want is to suggest that before it's anything else, redemption is God mending the bicycle of our souls; God bringing out the puncture repair kit, re-inflating the tires, taking off the rust, making us roadworthy once more. Not so that we can take flight into ecstasy, but so that we can do the next needful mile of our lives.

HASEDERA TEMPLE & BENTEN-KUTSU CAVE - TEMPLE WITH JAPAN’S LARGEST WOODEN KANNON Hasedera is a temple of the Jodo sect, famous for its eleven-headed statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy. The 9.18 meter tall, gilded wooden statue is regarded as one of the largest wooden sculpture in Japan and can be viewed in the temple's main building, the Kannon-do Hall. On the opposite side of the main hall stands the Amida-do Hall with an almost three meter tall, golden statue of Amida Buddha. Hasedera is built along the slope of a wooded hill. The temple's main buildings stand halfway up the slope on a terrace which allows for nice views of the coastal city of Kamakura. Along the stairs leading up the slope stands the Jizo-do Hall with hundreds of small statues of the Jizo Bodhisattva who helps the souls of deceased children to reach paradise.
The temple entrance is located at the base of the slope. A pretty garden with ponds welcomes visitors as they enter the grounds. A small temple hall in the garden is dedicated to Benten (also known as Benzaiten), a goddess of feminine beauty and wealth. .
