According to “Nippon Shoki”, Buddhism came to Japan during the Asuka period, when it was time that the bronze statue of the Buddha Buddha, the accounting theory, etc. were presented by the Holy King (Seimei King) of Baekje in 552 (Senior Emperor 13 years). ing. However, at the present time, “Senior Emperor Shiyoshima 10th December 12th” and “Gonjoji Zen Enoki” (the description of the formation and change of the former Kouji Temple) of “Kamimiya Seitoku Pope emperor’s theory” (biography of Shotoku Taiko) It seems that many people think that Buddhism was transmitted in 538 (Londay, Tensei Emperor 3 years) based on the “England draft Harumi Gifu Niwa Emperor 7th December December”.

Emperor Tenbu built Daikandai-ji Temple (later Da’an-ji Temple), and Emperor Tenno built Yakushi-ji Temple. Such a movement reached the peak at the time of Emperor Seitake.

Nara period
In China and Japan, with the development of Buddhism, a decree (monk ordinance) was introduced in which the control of monks (not the control of Buddhism itself) was defined in the law.

Many of these were called the Nanto Rokushu, such as San-an, Seishon, Hoso-mune, Shish-a-mune, Ritsu-mune, and Kagunzoku. Also, Emperor Shomu gave up his place to Emperor Takamu and went home. Because of the influence of his wife Gwangmei and Empress, Seongmu ordered the construction of Kokubunji and Kokubunshi-ji, and built a great Buddha in Todai-ji Temple, which is the Kokubun-ji Temple of Yamato. The Emperor Takeshi, who came home, called it “The Three Treasures”. As Buddhism has taken root, the fact that the Japanese gods are also thought to be the kingdom where Buddha appeared as an incarnation takes place, and the main land (Buddha) of various gods is defined, and the statues are produced in the form of a monk There was However, when Buddhist law flourished, monks ignoring the law etc. increased this time, and Kanshin was invited during the time of Emperor Seitake. Kanshin set up a board at Todai-ji Temple and gave the monks a commandment. Emperor Seitake also gave commandments from Kanshin. Kanshin erected Toshodai-ji and lived there.
