Genkō-ji
大阪市東淀川区東中島１丁目１０−７
A Jōdo-shū (Pure Land) temple located in Kita-ku, Osaka City, with the mountain name Seijō Ryūzan (Mountain of Pure and Clear Lapis Lazuli). It enshrines Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) as its principal deity and houses cultural properties such as the Amida Raigo-zu (painting of Amida's descent to welcome the dying) from the Kamakura period.
History
Founded in 747 CE as an imperial edict temple under Emperor Shōmu, it was originally named Heisei-ji. In 1124 CE, Ryōnin revitalized the temple, establishing it as the head temple of the Yūzū Nenbutsu-shū sect. In 1206 CE, when Hōnen Shōnin devoted himself to its further revival, he composed the verse: "Tracing the source, I now know this temple's light, the universal lamp of the Dharma." Consequently, the temple was renamed Genkō-ji and became a Jōdo-shū temple.
