The Vulture Peak (Pali ''Gijjhakuta'', sanskrit : ''Gṛdhrakūṭa''), was the Buddha’s favorite retreat in Rajagaha and the scene for many of his discourses. It is located in Rajgir, Bihar, India. ==In Buddhist Literature== Vulture Peak Mountain is, by tradition, one of several sites frequented by the Buddha and his community of disciples for both training and retreat. Its location is frequently mentioned in Buddhist texts in the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an06/an06.055.than.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an06/an06.041.than.html )〕 and in the Mahayana sutras as the place where the Buddha gave particular sermons. Among the latter are the ''Heart Sutra'', the ''Lotus Sutra'' and the ''Śūraṅgama Samādhi Sūtra'' as well as many prajnaparamita sutras. It is explicitly mentioned in the ''Lotus Sutra'', chapter 16, as the Buddha's pure land: Honest and upright and gentle, And wholeheartedly want to see the Buddha, Even at the cost of their own lives, Then, together with the assembly of monks I appear on Holy Eagle Peak. ... Such are my divine powers. Throughout countless eons, I have always lived on Holy Eagle Peak And in various other places. When the living witness the end of an eon, When everything is consumed in a great fire, This land of mine remains safe and tranquil, Always filled with human and heavenly beings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vulture Peak」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
