| This incident was the starting point of the path of schism over the position of the monshu (chief priest) of Hongan-ji Temple, and in 1602 Ieyasu TOKUGAWA split Hongan-ji Temple by giving Kyonyo a temple and land for Higashi Hongan-ji Temple, which was thus separated from Junnyo's Honganji Buddhist Sect. |
これより門主の座をめぐって本願寺は分裂の道を歩み始め、1602年に徳川家康が教如に准如の本願寺教団と別の寺地を与えて東本願寺を分立させた。 |
