4.0(2)

Hensoji is a historic temple founded in 1513 by Reverend Enju. It is also known as the 'Lotus Temple' due to the founder's love for lotus flowers.

History

Hensoji was established in 1513 (Eiroku 10) by Reverend Enju, who enshrined Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha). The temple's name, Rikuzan Hensoji, is said to derive from the phrase 'Rikuzan Henso' (benefiting the world and increasing virtue) found in the writings of Master Jion. It was also called the 'Lotus Temple' because Reverend Enju, whose name includes the character for lotus, loved lotus flowers and enjoyed cultivating them in a pond located behind the temple grounds.
