History

The Honen-do nestled in Mount Hiei's embrace enshrines the spirit of Honen, founder of Pure Land Buddhism. The invocation of Amida Buddha taught by Honen has saved countless common people's hearts. The weight of history and warmth of faith felt here has not faded through nearly a thousand years.
