大津市坂本本町4220

The Great Lecture Hall of Enryaku-ji on Mount Hiei, enshrining a seated statue of Dainichi Nyorai (Vairocana Buddha) as the principal image. Statues of monks who trained at Enryaku-ji are enshrined on either side of the principal image.

History

Originally the Zanbut-dō (Hall of Praise for the Buddha) at the Sakamoto Tōshō-gū (Sakamoto Tōshō Shrine) on the eastern foot of the mountain, it was relocated to its current site in 1964 CE (Shōwa 39). The former Great Lecture Hall, which had been designated an Important Cultural Property, was destroyed by arson in 1956 CE (Shōwa 31).
