Daihōon-ji (Sembon Shaka-dō) Temple

The Thousand Bens of Sakya is a particularly quiet place. Literally, it is a place for Sakyamani. There are very few foreign tourists, all of them are local Japanese believers. Although the scenery is not amazing, it makes people feel comfortable.

This district is the site of the oldest flower street in Kyoto, and the ancient sakaya follow. The entrance sign of Thousand Bensaka Hall stands at the entrance, a section of stone ginseng Road stretches straight north. The grass is steeply lush, and the lanterns along the way are connected. Cherry blossoms in spring and purple sun flowers in summer lead visitors to the mountain gate.

The temple of Dabaoen, widely known for its Thousand-Ben Sakya Temple, was founded by the Yikong Shang in the first year of Anzhen (1227), and escaped from the fire of Yingren, now an ancient building in Kyoto City Street. Every December 7-8, the Dabaoen Temple in Kyoto holds a traditional event of "cooking radish", and visitors can eat the radish soup provided by the temple. It is said that eating this radish can pray for no disease in the coming year.

Sakyamuni Hall (Dabao En Temple) in Shangjing District, Kyoto City, Japan, began its special activity "boiling radish" on December 7 to pray for disease-free and disaster-free. This activity originated from the Dharma "Chengdao Club" commemorating Sakyamuni's enlightenment into Buddha. It is said that it began in the Kamakura era when people wrote Sanskrit on the cut surface of radish and cooked it and distributed it to the public as a food to ward off evil spirits.

Everywhere in Kyoto you can see such Buddhist halls, full of ancient classical significance.
