Seirinzan (Seirinji Temple)
桜井市下６９２
A temple of the Shomyoji branch of the Shingon sect located in Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture. It is renowned for housing the National Treasure, a standing statue of the Eleven-Faced Kannon (Eleven-Faced Avalokiteshvara) made of wood-core dry lacquer.
History
According to tradition, the temple was founded in 712 CE (Wado 5) as the Henjo-in branch of Takimine Myoraku-ji by Tekei, the eldest son of Fujiwara no Kamatari. It was burned down by an attack from Kofuku-ji in the late Heian period but was restored during the Kamakura period. In the Edo period, buildings from Byodo-ji were moved to the site for reconstruction, and the temple was renamed Seirinji during the Koyo era.
