Mituo Temple Great Hero Hall: Bell

Bronze

彌陀寺銅鐘

台灣台南

位於臺灣臺南市彌陀寺大雄寶殿。高94公分,上部為半圓球體,中下部逐漸加寬,底部外張有若荷葉邊,口徑53公分。頂部有鈕,鐘體表面以凸弦紋分隔成上中下三區,上、中二區又以棱線框成方形區塊,內陽刻鑄鐘的因緣及過程。
 此鐘於第二次世界大戰(1939~1945)末期,曾被日軍搜括,原擬運送日本,但被轉賣。一九六三年由彌陀寺主事者幾度洽商,另鑄新鐘作交換,該鐘始得重回彌陀寺。
 銅鐘上鑄有年款「董事石長益督造僧達源住持僧正麟合茂爐造大清咸豐八年(1858)歲次戊午三月吉日敬造風調雨順國泰民安」,及銘文「樂邦教主接引彌陀四十八願度娑婆九品湧金波寶網交羅度眾生出愛河阿彌陀佛無上法王巍巍金相放毫光苦海作舟航九品蓮邦同願往西方」,充分印證清代(1644~1911)的彌陀淨土信仰頗為盛行。
