〇東大寺
東大寺は、奈良県奈良市雑司町にある華厳宗の大本山の寺院。山号はなく、本尊は奈良大仏として知られる盧舎那仏。開山（初代別当）は良弁である。正式には金光明四天王護国之寺ともいい、奈良時代（8世紀）に聖武天皇が国力を尽くして建立した寺である。現別当（住職・224世）は橋村公英。

奈良時代には中心堂宇の大仏殿（金堂）のほか、東西2つの七重塔（推定高さ約70メートル以上）を含む大伽藍が整備されましたが、中世以降、2度の兵火で多くの建物を焼失しました。現存する大仏は、度々修復を受けており、台座（蓮華座）などの一部に当初の部分を残すのみであり、また現存する大仏殿は江戸時代中期の宝永6年（1709年）に規模を縮小して再建されたものです。「大仏さん」の寺として、古代から現代に至るまで広い信仰を集め、日本の文化に多大な影響を与えてきた寺院であり、聖武天皇が当時の日本の60余か国に建立させた国分寺の中心をなす「総国分寺」と位置付けされました。
