Higashi Hongan-ji Review

本愿寺是日本佛教净土真宗本院寺派的本山。净土真宗的创立者是亲鸾圣人（镰仓时代），最初为1272年（文永九年）所建大谷本愿寺（1465年被延历寺僧人焚毁），后经历多次战乱迁徙，1483年（文明十五年）第8代法主莲如于京都山科建成山科本愿寺（在1535年被天台宗联合六角家军队焚毁），1542年（天文十一年）第10代法主证如在摄津国石山建成石山本愿寺（在1580年被织田信长焚毁），本愿寺是一向宗的本山〔宗庙〕所在。

Tokyo Benjamin Temple is a famous relic in Tokyo. The architecture of the Tang Dynasty has been well developed and studied in Japan. I like it very much. I have been there several times, and every time I have a new feeling.

There are many monasteries in the northwest side of Tianyuan station. One of them is the Pure Land Zhenzong East Origin Temple. It was originally the Tokyo Office of the Kyoto Origin Temple. Now the main hall has been repaired by reinforced concrete after the Kanto earthquake. It used to be the place where the administrative conference was held during the shogunate period. Now it can do wedding ceremonies and listen to the pure performance of ancient musical instruments.

The whole temple is quite big, although this is not a place that tourists are very enthusiastic about, but it is a main place for local religious activities, you can see that it has a very large main building, it is OK.

Tokyo's Benjamin Temple is said to have a history of several hundred years. Especially during the cherry blossom season, tourists here are very busy. Friends who like it must not miss this place, which is worthy of recommendation.
