thirteen buddhas

The Thirteen Buddhas (Jp. 十三仏 jūsanbutsu) is a purely Japanese grouping of various important Buddhist deities. The deities are, in fact, mostly not Buddhas at all, but also include assorted bodhisattvas and Wisdom Kings. The Thirteen Buddhas are an important part of a traditional Japanese Buddhist funeral service, with each "Buddha" having a corresponding memorial service. The thirteen in Japanese and Sanskrit and the corresponding date of their service after the death are:

Fudo Myo-o (Acala), 7th day
Shaka (Shakyamuni), 14th day
Monju (Manjusri), 21st day
Fugen (Samantabhadra), 28th day
Jizo (Ksitigarbha), 35th day
Miroku (Maitreya), 42nd day
Yakushi (Bhaisajyaguru), 49th day
Kannon (Avalokitesvara), 100th day
Seishi (Mahasthamaprapta), 1st anniversary
Amida (Amitabha), 2nd anniversary
Ashuku (Akshobhya), 6th anniversary
