The KWAN-BUTSU-SANMAI-KYO says:--"Whosoever looks upon the
footprints of the Buddha shall be freed from the results even of
innumerable thousands of imperfections."

The BUTSU-SETSU-MU-RYO-JU-KYO says:--"In the land that the Buddha
treads in journeying, there is not even one person in all the
multitude of the villages who is not benefited. Then throughout
the world there is peace and good will. The sun and the moon
shine clear and bright. Wind and rain come only at a suitable
time. Calamity and pestilence cease. The country prospers; the
people are free from care. Weapons become useless. All men
reverence religion, and regulate their conduct in all matters
with earnestness and modesty."

[Commemorative Text.]

--The Fifth Month of the Eighteenth Year of Meiji, all the
priests of this temple made and set up this pedestal-stone,
bearing the likeness of the footprints of the Buddha, and placed
the same within the main court of Dentsu-In, in order that the
seed of holy enlightenment might be sown for future time, and for
the sake of the advancement of Buddhism.

TAIJO, priest,--being the sixty-sixth chief-priest by succession
of this temple,--has respectfully composed.

JUNYU, the minor priest, has reverentially inscribed.
