Echizen Sanmonto

Japanese: 越前三門徒 - えちぜんさんもんと

〘Noun〙 One of the ten schools of Jodo Shinshu. During the Muromachi period, it refers to the three temples of Senshu-ji Temple in Omachi, Echizen Province, by Nyodo, who recited "Ogamasu no Himitsu", Seisho-ji Temple in Sabae, by his disciple Nyokaku, who helped him, and Shosei-ji Temple in Yokogoshi, by Dosho. These three temples cooperated with each other and had influence against the Hongan-ji and Takada Senshu-ji schools. Later, Nyodo's grandson, Joichi, moved the temple to Nakano and called it Sensho-ji Temple, but in the Meiji period it became an independent school and was called the Shinshu Sanmonto school.

〘名〙浄土真宗十派の一つ。室町時代、「おがまずの秘事」を唱えた如道の越前国大町の専修寺と、それをたすけた弟子如覚の鯖江の誠照寺、同じく道性の横越の証誠寺の三寺をいう。この三寺は互いに協力し、本願寺派、高田専修寺派に対抗して勢力があった。のち如道の孫、浄一は寺を中野に移し、専照寺と称したが、明治に至って別派独立して真宗三門徒派と称した。
