バグワン・マハビールスワミ・ジェイン寺院＠神戸 Shikharband Jain
日本で唯一のジャイナ教寺院である、バグワン・マハビールスワミ・ジェイン寺院。総大理石製の特徴的な外観は、ひときわ異彩を放っています。ここは、神戸に住んでいるジャイナ教徒28家族の浄財によって1985年に建設されました。商業に従事する人が多いジャイナ教徒が、神戸の街に多く住んでいたことから、寺院造営と日々の運営が実現したのです。
国立民族博物館（万博公園）にあるジャイナ教の神の像。
ジャイナ教は、紀元前5世紀頃に、北インドに生まれた宗教で、厳しい戒律を特徴とし、生き物を傷つけない「アヒンサー（不害）」を徹底します。例えば、生命を踏みつける可能性のある農業などには従事しません。聖職者は虫を吸い込まないように白い布マスクで口と鼻を覆い、一般信者も完全な菜食主義を守っています。現代風に言うなら、ジャイナ教徒は究極のエコロジストです。

After his death, Guan Yu came to be enshrined as a god, as is often the case with Chinese famous historic figures. Those gods are believed to belong to Taoism, so the temple is a Taoism temple.

At the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate Era, the Kobe Port was opened to the outside world in 1867. Since then, Kobe has had various colonies to have various shrines and temples of different religions. If you want to visit those shrines and temples, you should either start from Sannomiya Station, visit the Cathedral Church of St. Michael first, and move counterclockwise, or should start from Hanakuma Station, visit Guandi Miao first, and go clockwise. I started from Hanakuma, walked up the hill, and visited Guandi Miao, the Cathedral Church of St. Michael (the Anglican Communion), Kobe Eiko Church (United Church of Christ), Kobe Muslim Mosque (Islam), Jewish Community of Kansai (Judaism Synagogue), Bhagwan Mahavirswami Jain Temple (Jainism Temple), Kobe Baptist Church, Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit, and Dormition Orthodox Church in Kobe (Greek Orthodox Church or Eastern Orthodoxy).
【北野】神戸ムスリムモスク Jumu’ah Mubarak 1
Jumu’ah Mubarak,
Saying of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): Best amongst you is, who learns Quran or teaches Quran. All are invited to learn Quran in Kobe Muslim Mosque.
神戸ムスリムモスクは、1935年（昭和10年）、神戸在住のトルコ人、タタール人、インド人貿易商らの出資により建てられた日本で最初のモスク。
I left the Cathedral Church of St. Michael eastward to walk to another church.
In 1886, about 2 decades after the Meiji Restoration, Kobe Methodist Church was founded. In 1907, 3 Methodist denominations in Japan united, and the church changed its name. As the number of the church members increased, the church moved to the present place in 1923. It was known as a red brick church. In 1941, United Church of Christ in Japan was established, and the church changed its name again to Kobe Eiko Church in 1942. In 1995, the church building collapsed in the Great Hanshin Earthquake, and was reconstructed in 2004, retaining its appearance as a red brick church.
