Kitayama Jyuuhachikando

By Yu-ji Kiyota

−This work is for Souninsei−
  Souninsei at the Saidai-ji Temple devoted his life for the salvation of the incurable people. He established the salvation facility of Kitayama Jyuuhachikando at Kitayama where Toudai-ji and Koufuku-ji were seen. The row house was enclosed by the white walls and boarded doors. The incurable people prayed morning and night, and lived with their dispensation. I feel their thoughts on the Kaizukaibuki's green flame in the garden.
