Zenryu-ji

加東市栄枝

A Buddhist temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, enshrining the Medicine Buddha (Yakushi Nyorai), the Sunlight Bodhisattva (Nikkō Bosatsu), and the Moonlight Bodhisattva (Gekkō Bosatsu). It is said to have taken the name 'Zenryu' (Zen Waterfall) from the serene landscape of the waterfall on its grounds.

History

Tradition holds that the temple was founded by the ascetic Hōdō Senjin during the Taika era, and that the monk Hōki Bosatsu visited and carved the main statues. Before the medieval period, it was a large temple of the Tendai sect, but in the early Edo period it became a temple of the Kogi Shingon sect under the jurisdiction of Hōjō-in on Mount Koya. During the Meiji era, Ryūken Tsune dedicated himself to its revival, and the temple has produced many prominent monks.
