Kaidanin

太宰府市観世音寺5丁目7−10

4.3(150)

One of the 'Three Great Kaidan (Ordination Halls) of the Nation' located within Kanzeonji Temple, its main enshrined deity, the Vairocana Buddha, is designated as an Important Cultural Property.

History

During the Nara period, Kaidanin was established within Kanzeonji Temple. It served as a place where monks received the precepts (rules of conduct) required for ordination; without receiving these precepts here, one was not recognized as a formal monk. In the Edo period, it separated from Kanzeonji Temple and is now a Zen temple.

What visitors say

Located next to Kanzeonji Temple, the grounds are enclosed by a gate and walls, creating a serene atmosphere. You can enjoy a well-maintained garden and a small karesansui (dry landscape) stone garden. The Goshuin (shrine or temple seal stamp) is written in advance on a desk in front of the main hall, and visitors may take it themselves. Access is convenient, being just a few minutes' walk from the site of the Dazaifu Government Office.
