The Tōdai-ji (東大寺, lit. 'Eastern Great Temple') is a Buddhist temple in Nara, Japan.
History
Upon arriving in Japan, the Chinese monk Jianzhen established an ordination platform at the temple to bestow the Bodhisattva Precepts onto the Japanese royal family. In his opinion, the Japanese monks until that point were not following an orthodox school of Buddhism, which in his eyes was Risshū.[1]
