I translate an article of '
Muza-chan.net'- I'm enjoyed from this site.
The article is
The Benzaiten Temple in Inokashira.
Benzaiten is Japanese name of the Hindu Goddes Saraswati,the goddes of everything that flows:water,words,music.
弁財天はヒンドゥー教の女神で水、言語、音楽を司っている。Therefore, the temple dedicated to Benzaiten are located near waters.
それ故に、寺は弁財天が水の近くに置かれることに捧げている。Benzaiten is one of seven Gods of luck.
弁財天は七福神の一つだ。On the back of the temple,there is a Dragon-statue with a fountain,where it is said that if you wash your coins,it will bring you wealthiness and luck.
寺の後ろにはドラゴンの像と湧き水があり、そこでコインを洗うと富と幸福を運んできてくれると言われている。I took the liberty of translating the article and want to point out mistakes.
