Yakushi Nyorai-do (Medicine Buddha Hall)

栗東市林33

The principal image, Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha), is a National Important Cultural Property from the Kamakura period. In the mid-Edo period, a pond-and-cascade style garden was created facing the guest hall and the monks' quarters.

History

Founded by the monk Ryo-ben, this ancient temple belongs to the Sen-ongu-ji branch of the Shingon sect. It fell into ruin due to the camp of Ashikaga Yoshihisa and the fires of Oda Nobunaga's troops. However, in the Edo period, it was revived as a Ritsu-sect temple by inviting the monk Kaisan Eiken and with the cooperation of the local An-yoji village.
