転輪聖王とは?"The Wheel-Turning ?


"The Wheel-Turning Monarch (pronounced as 'tenrinjiyooou' in Japanese, from the Sanskrit term Cakravarti-raja) is a ruler who unifies the four continents, governs with the Dharma, and possesses the 'wheel jewel' (a symbolic chariot-like object) which is used to subdue adversaries. The name originates from the turning of the wheel jewel to bring about the surrender of opposition. Depending on the type of wheel jewel (gold, silver, copper, or iron), there are distinctions such as Gold Wheel King or Iron Wheel King, each ruling over different realms ranging from four continents to one. Additionally, they possess a great treasure besides the wheel jewel, embody the thirty-two marks of a great being, and are often contrasted with worldly Buddhas. The appearance of these monarchs is said to vary, with the Gold Wheel King appearing between an immeasurable lifespan and eighty thousand years, the Iron Wheel King appearing at one hundred years of age, and the others having varying timelines within this range. Also known as 'tenrin-oo,' 'rin-oo,' or 'tenrin.'"
