Bene continues on the fourth stage of her pilgrimage, through Kagawa Prefecture, the area where Kobo Daishi was born. To learn more about Kobo Daishi, Bene meets up with a college lecturer who has been studying the ohenro pilgrimage for 20 years. He takes her to see the Mannoike Reservoir, an irrigation pond associated with Kobo Daishi. They also visit Zentsu-ji, a temple that stands on the spot where Kobo Daishi was born. Bene begins to understand Kobo Daishi not just as a saint but as a real person, someone who helped the people of Kagawa and whose influence remains alive in them to this day. |
