1. The commonly-known history of Shinnyo-do Temple is that it was founded in the year 984 on the grounds of Enryaku-ji Temple on Mount Hiei. At that time, the principal statue of the temple, the standing figure of Amida Nyoraione, was first enshrined and thus Shinsho Gokuraku-ji Temple (official name) was born.
