Shin Yakushi-ji (New Medicine Buddha Temple)
〒630-8301 奈良県奈良市高畑町１３５２
A Kegon sect temple located in Takabatake-cho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture, enshrining the Medicine Buddha (Yakushi Nyorai) as its principal image. It houses valuable cultural properties, including the National Treasure main hall, a wooden seated statue of the Medicine Buddha, and standing statues of the Twelve Divine Generals.
History
According to tradition, the temple was founded in the mid-8th century by Empress Komyo or Emperor Shomu to pray for the recovery of Emperor Shomu's illness or for the cure of Empress Komyo's eye disease. During the Nara period, it was ranked as one of the Ten Great Temples of Nanto, but its scale was reduced from the Heian period onward. It escaped the fires of Taira no Shigehira in 1180 CE (Jisho 4), and today it still preserves cultural properties such as the National Treasure main hall and the seated statue of the Medicine Buddha.
