Founder's Hall of Eiheiji Temple

Eiheiji Guide 06: The mausoleum of the founder 'Dogen'

This photo story is to guide you step-by-step as you explore Eiheiji Temple in Fukui, the Zen temple of 'Eternal Peace'. The sixth guide focuses on 'Jōyōden', the mausoleum of Eiheiji's founder, Dogen Zenji, and 'Jōyōmon', the gate of the mausoleum. This building was rebuilt in 1841 and contains the ashes of Dogen Zenji, who founded Eiheiji Temple in 1244, as well as other distinguished master priests in the past. Meiji Emperor (1852 to 1912) wrote and dedicated the huge wooden signage hung in the center of the building to honor Dogen, the founder. 'Jōyōmon' is a small but beautiful gate of the mausoleum, from which you can view the other temple buildings lined up straight ahead.
