不ニ観音
執金剛神、俗に仁王さまの変身で仏を守護されるといわれています。
不二とは、慈愛の形相の観音と、念窓の形相の仁王は別々ではなく、同じ仏さまであることを意味し、迷いと悟り、有と無など二元的なものを越えて、絶対平等の境地に衆生を向かわせようとしています。
Aryavalokitesvara (manifestation of Avalokitesvara)
The intercessor Vajra deity, commonly known as Nio, is said to protect the Buddha in his metamorphosis.
The word "nonduality" means that Kannon, in the form of compassion, and Nioh, in the form of the window of remembrance, are not separate, but are the same Buddha, and they seek to move sentient beings beyond dualities such as lostness and enlightenment, existence and nothingness, to a state of absolute equality.
