御影堂　Miei-do　(Founder's Hall) (National Treasure)
This hall was the residence of Kukai, the founder of Shingon Buddhism. It is also called Daishido, because Kukai's posthumous name is Kobo Daishi. Another name for it is Fudo-do, because every day, Kukai used to pray to the Fudo-Myo-o (secret Buddha, a national treasure).
This hall was burnt down in 1379, and was rebuilt in 1380. In 1390, a statue of Kukai was added.

I visited this temple many times, it is very close to Kyoto Station.

To sit under the big red umbrella in the park and look at the pagoda ... And to meet the many fascinating Buddha statues in the three-dimensional mandala arrangement ... moments of silence and thundering awe !
