Jōdo-ji (Matsuyama)
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Jōdo-ji (浄土寺?) is a Shingon temple in Matsuyama, Japan.
It is Temple 49 on the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage.
History
Said to have been founded by Gyōki, Kūya lodged at the temple for three years.
Burned during fighting in 1416, it was rebuilt by the Kōno clan.
Sixteenth-century graffiti indicates that by that time Tendai priests and members of the peasantry had joined the ranks of pilgrims.
