Description
Faith does not always bring peace.
A monastery allows the masses somewhere to gather so they may honor the teachings of Buddha. this is a solid symbol of local commitment to Jodo Shinshu Buddhism; it increases the happiness of all the faithful and spreads the word too. Christians however, may feel threatened by, and unhappy because of, the presence of this vigorous and forceful Sect. In a determined rejection of the old style of Buddhism, Jodo Shinshu buildings differ greatly from other Buddhist structures. They are not built with the main hall, the Hondo, facing southwards; rather, the hall faces east to honor Buddha who looks eastwards from his western Paradise. Unlike other Sects, a Jodo Shinshu Hondo is always dedicated to Shinran Shonin, as a Goeido, or "Founders Hall". Other Buddhists temples dedicate the main hall to one of the many Buddhist gods. A Second hall for mass worship is also dedicated to Buddha, and there are few training areas and dormitory blocks for the monks. There are even quarters set aside for married monks in the style of private homes and gardens, quite separate from the temples public spaces.
This building can only be constructed by the Ikko-Ikki and cannot be used by any other Clan.
Other Information
Building and upgrading Jodo Shinshu Monasteries in every province is the best and only strategy for Ikko-Ikki players that want to climb up the economic technology tree quickly. Acquiring one or two Confucian Academies is also a big help as well.
