Unrin-in Temple, Kyoto

Now a small sub-temple opposite the southeast corner of Daitoku-ji temple complex, Unrin-in (Unrin'in, Urin-in or Ujii) was originally the scene of the great Enlightenment Sermons of the late Heian period.

In The Tale of Genji, after Fujitsubo rejects his advances, Genji spends some time in reflection at Unrin-in, just north of the capital. Unable to stop thinking of her, Genji is nevertheless moved on hearing his uncle, the abbot, proclaim: "All who invoke the holy name shall be taken unto Lord Amitabha and none shall be abandoned."
