Kaidan-in, Buddhist ordination platform in Dazaifu, Japan
The temple compound contains a central hall with a grand statue of Rushana Buddha crafted from hinoki cypress wood during the Heian period.
Chinese monk Jianzhen established this temple in 761, making it one of three authorized ordination halls for Buddhist ceremonies in Japan during the Nara period.
The temple maintains three carved Buddhist statues, including the Cosmic Buddha flanked by Miroku Bosatsu and Monju Bosatsu, representing salvation and wisdom.
Located at 5-7-10 Kanzeonji, the temple stands along a gravel path from Route 76 and requires a 20-minute walk from Dazaifu Station.
The foundation includes soil from three Buddhist nations - India, China, and Japan - symbolizing the transfer of Buddhist teachings across Asia.
