Sekizan-zenin Temple

Chishan Temple was built in the Ping An era according to the wishes of Master Cijue Yuanren. It is a small monastery in the Tiantai Zong Temple. It is a quiet red leaf viewing resort near the palace of Kyoto • Xiu College. Chishan Temple has a deep relationship with China. In 838, Master Cijue Yuanren (794 ～ 864) sent Tang to the Tang Dynasty after hardships, and finally mastered rooftop teaching. In order to thank the Chishan Daming God who blessed the safe journey, Yuanren vowed to build Chishan Zen Temple. After returning to Japan, Yuanren founded the foundation of the rooftop religion, but in the end did not realize the desire to build the Chishan Temple. It is said that the fourth generation of the rooftop master An Hui created the Chishan Temple according to Yuanren's wishes. The Lord Buddha Chishan Daming God was invited from Datang Chishan Taishan Fujun. Taishan Fujun is the god of Mount Tai, the first of the five mountains in China. It has become the ancestor of Yinyang Road in Japan. Chishan Temple is located in the northeast of Ping An Jing (now Kyoto). Because it is a taboo direction, the god of Chishan Daming is worshipped as the god of the town and the emperor. Later, the royal family also began to believe in the god of the Ming Dynasty, because the college was well-known for the emperor of the palace (1596 ～ 1680) when he came to leave the palace, he ordered the construction of the temple and gave the amount of "Chishan Daming God" written in person. In order to exorcise evil, on the roof of the front temple of Chishan Temple, there is a monkey with a right hand holding a royal coin and a god music bell in the left hand. As a monastery to exorcise disaster, many people now come to visit Chishan Temple.
