Konpuku-ji

Konpuku-ji (金福寺) is a Zen Buddhist temple in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan. In 864, as Ennin's dying wish, the Buddhist priest An'e built this temple and installed a statue of Kannon that had been made by Ennin himself.[1] At first the temple was part of the Tendai sect, but eventually the temple fell into ruin. During the Genroku era (1688-1704), the temple was restored by Tesshu from the nearby Enkō-ji, and acted as a branch of that temple. It was also converted to the Rinzai sect.
