Bairinji Temple
〒830-0028 福岡県久留米市京町２０９
An ancient temple of the Myoshin-ji branch of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism located in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The principal image is Jizo Kannon (the Kannon of the Jewel Necklace). It is a renowned training ground known for its rigorous practice and has a history of producing many distinguished monks.
History
The temple was founded in 1621 CE (Genna 7) when Arima Toyoshi relocated the main hall to its current site and named it Doryuji. It was later renamed Bairinji in honor of the posthumous name of his father. Although the temple fell into ruin during the Meiji era due to the Haibutsu Kishaku (the destruction of Buddhism) movement, it was revived by the efforts of the abbot Tokai Yu Zen, who served from 1879 CE (Meiji 12). It has been celebrated as a place of vigorous practice, with the saying that 'there is a Bairinji meditation hall in Kyushu,' and has continued to produce many famous monks.
