Japanese: 九体阿弥陀如来を安置する現・本堂の建立は創建から60年後の嘉承2年（1107年）のことであった。
English: The idea to enshrine the nine statues of Amida Nyorai within a single hall originated with the concept of 'Kuhon Ojo' (nine future lives).
Japanese: 1つの堂に9体もの阿弥陀如来像を安置するという発想は「九品往生」（くほんおうじょう）思想に由来する。
English: The concept of 'Kuhon Ojo' is advocated in 'Kanmuryoju-kyo' (The Sutra of Visualization of the Buddha of Measureless Life, meaning Amida), which preaches that there are nine stages or categories on Gokuraku Ojo (to rebirth from this world into Amitabha's Western Pure Land Paradise) from those who correctly adhere to Buddhist teachings to the most evil people.
Japanese: 「九品往生」とは「観無量寿経」に説かれる思想で、極楽往生（人が現世から阿弥陀如来のいる西方極楽浄土へと生まれ変わる）のしかたには、仏の教えを正しく守る者から、極悪人まで9つの段階ないし種類があるという考えである。
English: From the medieval to modern period, Joruri-ji Temple was a branch temple of Kofuku-ji Ichijo-in Temple but it transferred to the Shingon Ritsu Sect and became a branch temple of Nara Saidai-ji Temple (Nara City) during the turmoil of the anti-Buddhist movement at the beginning of the Meiji era.

Japanese: 薬師如来は東方浄瑠璃世界に住み、現世の苦しみを除く仏であり、阿弥陀如来は西方極楽浄土の教主である。
English: This is the significance of housing Bhaisajyaguru in the east and Amitabha in the west, and indeed the eastern bank with its three-storey pagoda could be considered as this world while Amitabha's western bank represents nirvana.
Japanese: 薬師如来を東、阿弥陀如来を西に安置することにはこうした意味があり、三重塔のある東岸は「此岸」（しがん、現世）、池をはさんだ西岸は阿弥陀如来のいる「彼岸」であるという見かたもできる。
English: The predecessor of these current structures is believed to have been the new main hall housing nine Amitabha statues constructed in 1107 after the demolition of the old main hall built in 1047 and housed Bhaisajyaguru as its principal image.
Japanese: これら今にある伽藍の原型は、永承2年（1047年）建立の薬師如来を本尊とする本堂が取り壊され、9体の阿弥陀如来像を安置する新たな本堂が建立された嘉承2年（1107年）に形作られたものと見られる。
English: Kutai Amida-do halls constructed during the latter part of the Heian period were said to be approximately 30 on records, including the one constructed at Hojo-ji Muryoju-in Temple by FUJIWARA no Michinaga, but the extant main hall of Joruri-ji Temple is the only one to survive.

Japanese: 中尊は像高224.2cm、左右に各4体ずつ安置される残り8体は像高140cm前後である。
English: All of the eight right and left flanking statues are essentially the same but closer inspection reveals subtle differences.
Japanese: 左右の8体はほとんど同形であるが、仔細に見ると作風には微妙な違いが見られる。
English: Despite the statue's elegant Heian period Imperial style, "Joruri-ji Ruki no Koto" states that it was in fact created in 1212 during the Kamakura period.
Japanese: 平安朝風の優美な作風の像であるが、『浄瑠璃寺流記事』によれば実際の制作は鎌倉時代の建暦2年（1212年）である。
English: The statue is a magnificently crafted piece with both the solemn dignity of a venerated Buddhist image and a beauty that is reminiscent of a real woman.
Japanese: 仏教尊像としての威厳と、現実の女性を思わせる官能美が見事に調和した作品である。
