- "Chion-in (知恩院, Chion-in) in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, Japan is the headquarters of the Jōdo-shū (Pure Land Sect) founded by Hōnen (1133–1212), who proclaimed that sentient beings are reborn in Amida Buddha´s Western Paradise (Pure Land) by reciting the nembutsu, Amida Buddha´s name.
The vast compounds of Chion-in include the site where Hōnen settled to disseminate his teachings and the site where he died." - (en.wikipedia.org 24.09.2019) - Latitude
