He issued many pardons to followers and worked to organize the religious sect. In his later years, he handed over the affairs of the temple to his eldest son Ennyo, and promoted the institutionalization of the religious sect, unifying the religious aspects of ceremonies and chanting etiquette, establishing teachings, and establishing various systems for the sect, such as the Three Commandments, the prohibition on building new temples, and the system of one family per family. He approached the Imperial Court, and the temple became a temple that was requested by the Imperial Court, and he himself was granted permission for incense and other items, and worked to improve the social status of Hongan-ji Temple. <References> Inaba Shomaru (ed.), "Rennyo Shonin's Writings"; Inoue Teruo, "Study of the Ikko Ikki"
