Fukuchiin

奈良市福智院町46

4.3(171)

A Shingon Risshu (True Word Precept School) temple located in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, with the mountain name Seireizan. The principal image, Jizo Bosatsu (Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva), is known as a 'spiritual Buddha.'

History

It is said that the temple originated from Kiyomizu-dera, which was founded in 736 CE (Tenpyo 8) by Genbo at the imperial command of Emperor Shomu. Although it later fell into disrepair, it was revived in 1254 CE (Kencho 6) when Jitsushin of the Dajoin at Kofukuji converted the sutra repository into the main hall. It was later renamed Fukuchiin and subsequently rebuilt by Eison.
