Kiyomizu-Dera:
The original temple hall was constructed by the Japanese general Sakanoue no Tamuramuro, shortly after Kiyomizu-Dera was founded. The general had come to this mountainside to hunt deer as an offering to the gods for his sick wife when he encountered Enchin who lectured him on the sanctity of life.
Enchin:
So Enchin is actually a person if you didn't know, Enchin was a Japanese Buddhist monk who founded of the Jimon school of Tendai Buddhism and Chief Abbot of Mii-dera at the foot of Mount Hiei. After succeeding to the post of Tendai zasu, in 873, a strong rivalry developed between his followers and those of Ennin's at Enryaku-Ji.
