Eikando Zenrinji Temple, Kyoto City
Eikando Zenrinji Temple is located in the upper-central east of Kyoto city, at the foothills of the Higashiyama Mountain. This temple was originally established as a follower of the Shingon Sect of Japanese Buddhism, but later on became a temple of the Jodo Sect of Japanese Buddhism.
There are two unique characteristics of this temple, one is the year long fall foliage that is found in some trees in the Temple premises. The second is the looking-back Amitabha Tathagata statue in the main worship hall. This statue has it's face turned to the side with it's eyes looking back. The legend has it that one of the Chief Priests of the Temple Eikando (in the 10th century AD) has fallen asleep on the temple premises with a statue of Amida in his hand. When he regained his consciousness, he saw Amida Buddha walking away from him and he turns around and says to Monk Eikando, Eikan! Come with me.
After this incident, Monk Eikando, created a Amida statue of this form (looking-back Amitabha) to remember this meeting with Buddha himself.

EIKANDO ZENRIN-JI TEMPLE
永観堂
—————————————————————————————
History
In the early Heian period (853 AD), the priest Shinjo, a disciple of Kobo Daishi Kukai, built a training hall for the practice of Shingon Buddhism on the site of present day zenrinji. Ten years later, Shinjo recived permission to establish a tample there from Emperor Seiwa and the temple got the name Zenrin-ji.
In the latter part of Heian period, the Abbot Yokan, commonly known as “Eikan”, became the chief priest, and zenrinji expanded greatly. Eikan intoned the nembutsu as many as 60,000 times a day and made great efforts to save poor people. Eikan received the respect of many people and at sometime zenrinji came to be called EIKANDO.

禅林寺は、浄土宗西山禅林寺派総本山の寺院です。通称の永観堂の名で知られます。山号を聖衆来迎山、院号を無量寿院と称し、本尊は阿弥陀如来です。
863年、空海（弘法大師）の高弟の真紹僧都が、都における実践道場の建立を志し、清和天皇から禅林寺の名を賜りました。禅林寺が大きく発展したのは、永観律師の時代。永観律師を慕う人々によって、禅林寺はいつしか永観堂と呼ばれるようになりました。「みかえり阿弥陀」と呼ばれ、広く知られる禅林寺の本尊は、首を左にかしげ、振り向いておられます。

Kyoto [011] Eikandou Temple
Subscribe link:
Eikando Temple(永観堂), located in Kyoto, Japan, is a part of the Jodo sect in Japanese Buddhism. Eikando Temple is famous for its autumn foliage attracting both Japanese and international visitors. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful fall colors during the day as well as at night, as there are evening illuminations during the autumn. The view of the red maple leaves as they fall onto the Hojo Pond is a scene visitors do not want to miss. This temple, formerly known as the Zenrinji Temple, was donated by a court noble during the Heian Period (710-1185). The priest, who received the donation, converted the nobleman’s villa into a temple and named the temple Zenrinji (literally translated to mean “temple in a calm grove”).
[Japan Trip] Momiji at Night - Eikando Temple - Kyoto
Eikando temple is a Japanese Buddhist temple in Kyoto. It is one of the best spot for you to have Momiji (Japanese culture to visit places where trees turn into red). Eikando is located in the east part of Kyoto. It offers you unforgettable splendid night surrounded by red maple trees. It is tremendously crowded during holiday. Get prepared and come earlier! The night gate is open at 5:30 (Sorry I wrote 6:30 in the video), better come 30-60 minutes earlier to avoid looooong queue. It is so true that autumn is another spring, the leaves are as beautiful as flowers.
Zenrinji Temple, Eikan do
View of Eternity Hall or Hall of Yōkan ; Mountain of going across to the saints; Temple of Immeasurable Fortune... is an important cultural property and formally founded in 863. One of my favorite places on my trip and should been seen by all visitors of Kyoto.
