  圓覺寺 - [py] Yuánjué　sì [wg] Yüan-chüeh　ssu [ko] 원각사 Wŏngaksa [ja]　エンガクジ Engakuji ||| (1) [China] (2) [Korea] (3) [Japan] The head temple of the Engakuji branch of Japanese Rinzai, located in Kita-Kamakura, founded by Wúxué zŭyuán 無學祖元 in 1282. One of the five Zen temples in Kamakura. In the ages of Bun-ei and Koan, Japan was attacked twice by Mongolia. It was the most unprecedented national crisis Japan ever met. Executive Tokimune Hojo, who had long embraced Zen, profoundly carried out his daily study of Zen even during the dangerous period of Koan. Wúxué zŭyuán (Bukkō Kokushi佛光國師) was the Chan master from China whom the executive looked up to. The Japanese nation engaged the formidable enemy as a whole and beat back the Mongolians. After this, Tokimune wished not only to spread the way of Zen that remained his mental support all the while, but to hold a mass for the souls, of both Japanese and Mongolian soldiers who laid down their life in those wars. He also wanted to express his gratitude to his master Bukkō. Thus, the building of a temple was envisioned. The temple was given the name of engaku after Engaku-Kyo (Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment 圓覺經), dug out of the selected building site, in a stone chest.
  The establishment of Bukkō sect was succeeded from Kōhō Ken-nichi 高峰顯日 of Nasu Ungen-ji to Muso Soseki 夢窓疎石 of Tenryū-ji 天龍寺. Especially Muso was respected as 'the master of seven emperors' in the era of Northern and Southern Dynasties (1336-1392). His school formed the major influence of the Zen world of Japan in the Muromachi Era (1338-1573). The temple encountered fire several times. It also experienced temporary decline. However, Priest Seisetsu 誠拙 appeared at the end of the Edo Era (1603-1867) and reconstructed the monastery to consolidate the foundation of the present Engaku-ji. He maintained the austere atmosphere for trainees, carrying out the reform of the sect.
  In the Meiji Era (1868-1912), itinerant and laity trainees, called koji 居士, learned Zen under the direction of Imakita Kosen and his disciple Shaku Sōen 釋宗演. The temple became the center of Zen in the Kanto Area. From the zazen course for students at Kojirin, outstanding men of ability appeared in great numbers in its long proud history. Engaku-ji runs zazen circles of various kinds and summer courses open for the public. Engaku-ji has eighteen branch temples in its site in addition to Jōchi-ji 淨智寺, Tōkei-ｊi 東慶寺, and Zuisen-ji　瑞泉寺 nearby.
