Onjo-ji Temple
〒520-0036 滋賀県大津市園城寺町
The head temple of the Tendai Jimon sect, famous for its O-Fudo (Great Fudo Myoo) statue, which is one of the Three Great Fudo statues in Japan. It is commonly known as Miidera.
History
Founded in the 7th century as the clan temple of the Otomo family, it was revived in the 9th century by the monk Enchin, who had studied abroad. Having overcome historical hardships such as conflicts with Mount Hiei and the confiscation of temple lands by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it has been revived multiple times and is referred to as the 'Phoenix Temple.' There is a tradition that the temple name 'Onjo-ji' was given based on the aspiration to establish a temple enshrining the Miroku Bosatsu (Maitreya Bodhisattva) statue, which was a cherished object of Emperor Tenji.
