Byoudouji (Inaba-do)

京都市下京区烏丸通松原因幡堂町728

4.4(1513)
🏥 Health🙏 Wishes granted

A temple of the Chizan branch of the Shingon sect, affectionately known as Inaba-do or Inaba Yakushi. Its principal image, the Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha), is counted among the Three Great Buddhas of Japan.

History

In 1003 CE (Choho 5), Tachibana no Kyohira enshrined an image of Yakushi Nyorai that he was guided to in a dream. The temple was later founded by his grandson, the Zen master Mitsutomo. In 1171 CE (Jogan 1), Emperor Takakura named it 'Byodoji' and bestowed an imperial plaque. As a representative example of a machi-do (a temple founded and supported by the townspeople), it has received deep reverence from successive emperors.
