Tendai and Jodo Sects

Byodoin temple is now an independent place of worship that does not belong to a particular Buddhist school. Instead, it is an important religious site for both the Pure Land (Jodo) and Tendai schools of Buddhism. Within the grounds are temples representing both: Saishoin belongs to the Tendai School and Jodoin serves the followers of the Pure Land School.


Tendai Buddhism can trace its roots back to 806, when it was founded by the priest Saicho (767–822), posthumously known as Dengyo Daishi. The school rose to prominence during the Heian period (794–1185) and competed with other schools to become the most influential at the imperial court. When doctrinal or political disagreements arose, many of its priests left to set up other schools; and it was further weakened by the transfer of the imperial capital from Kyoto to Edo, modern-day Tokyo, in 1869.


The Jodo School was established in 1175, and it and its offshoots are the most widely practiced forms of Buddhism in Japan. It was founded by Honen (1133–1212), who entered a temple at the age of nine and lived the rest of his life as a priest. Honen was condemned for reaching out to people who had previously been excluded from Buddhist practice, including women and the lower classes. Exiled in 1207, he was pardoned in 1211 and permitted to return to Kyoto, but died a year later.


平等院の中の二つの宗派(天台宗と浄土宗)

平等院は、特定の仏教派に属さない独立した礼拝所だ。代わりに、浄土と天台の両方の日本仏教の重要な宗教的場所だ。

平等院の敷地内には、両方の宗派を象徴する寺院がある。西勝院は天台宗に属し、浄土院は浄土信仰の信者のためのものだ。

浄土仏教は1175年に設立され、日本で最も広く信仰されている宗教だ。この仏教の支部は法然が創立した。法然は9歳で僧院に入門し、生涯を僧として生きた。彼は、女性や下層階級など、仏教慣習から除外されていた人々に手を差し伸べたとして非難された。1207年に追放され、1211年に赦免され、京都に戻ることを許可されたが、1年後に亡くなった。
