  • 22. Enryaku-ji 延暦寺 is located on Mount Hiei hovering over Kyoto.  It is the head-quarters of the Tendai sect of Buddhism.  Founded during the early Heian period, it was once one of the largest monasteries in the world.  At its peak, Enryakuji had as many as 3000 sub-temples in its domain and a powerful army of warrior monks who engaged in power struggles with other monasteries and political leaders that eventually brought about its demise of power.  Enryaku-ji is imbued with a solemn atmosphere as a place of training and as the home of the ‘marathon monks’.
