善光寺守護著日本最早的佛像——552年自朝鮮傳來的金色阿彌陀三尊。這尊本尊從未向任何人展示過——天皇不行、住持不行,誰都不行。取而代之的是每七年一次的「御開帳」(下次2027年),展出一尊完全相同的複製像,屆時逾百萬香客排上數小時,只為在裊裊香煙中望它一眼。
真正的看點在地下。1707年的本堂之下是「戒壇巡」——一條漆黑的迴廊,你在全然的黑暗中挪步,左手扶著冰冷的牆,直到指尖碰到一把金屬鎖——「極樂之鑰」。摸到它便保證往生淨土,寺方如此承諾。黑暗是絕對的,沒有緊急照明、沒有發光的出口標示。你聽見呼吸、腳步,偶爾有人緊張地笑。全程約四分鐘,感覺卻更久。
地面上,晨間法會全年在日出時分開始。金襴與緋紅袈裟的僧侶以低沉共鳴的聲調誦經,彷彿透過木地板震動。「數珠頂戴」在法會前舉行——住持自居所走向本堂,若他的念珠拂過你的頭,便被視為直接的加持。人們在破曉的寒氣中排隊等這一刻。我看過年長的婦人在念珠拂過時落淚。
