Hōnen (1133–1212). Founder of the
Jōdo (Pure Land) sect of Japanese
Pure Land Buddhism. At the age of 13, he became a monk of the
Tendai sect. At the age of 43, he converted to the Pure Land teachings upon reading Shantao's
Kuan-wu-liang-shou-fo ching shu. Subsequently he preached that everyone without exception can be reborn in
Amida Buddha's Pure Land by simply reciting the
nembutsu, and insisted that the Pure Land teachings be considered an independent sect. The older established sects' opposition to Hōnen's teachings led to his exile from the capital of
Kyōto in 1207. Although he was soon pardoned and returned to Kyōto in 1211, he died the following year. Among his major works are the
Senchaku Hongan Nembutsu Shu, an outline of his Pure Land teachings, and the
Ichimai Kishomon, a one-page summary of his teachings written or dictated on his deathbed.
