Long lecture hall

Japanese: 長講堂 - ちょうこうどう

Located in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City, it is a Jodo sect Seizan school. It was originally a Jibutsu-do (Hokke Choko Amida Sammai-do) built by Emperor Goshirakawa within Rokujo-den (Rokujo Nishinotoin, Kyoto). It burned down a few years after its construction, and was rebuilt in 1188 by imposing construction costs on Harima and other provinces. Prior to his death, the Emperor donated 89 Choko-do sites (later increasing to 180) for the protection and operation of the hall and the promotion of Buddhism, which were passed down to the Jimyo-in line through the Emperor's daughter Senyomon-in and Emperor Gofukakusa. It was destroyed by fire and moved many times, eventually moving to its current location in 1588.

京都市下京(しもぎょう)区にあり，浄土宗西山派。もと後白河法皇が六条殿（京都六条西洞院）内に作った持仏堂（法華長講弥陀三昧堂）。創建後数年で焼失し，1188年播磨(はりま)ほか諸国に造営費を課して再建。法皇が崩御に先立ち堂の護持・運営，仏法興隆のために寄進した89ヵ所の長講堂領（のち180ヵ所に増加）は，法皇皇女の宣陽(せんよう)門院，後深草(ごふかくさ)天皇を経て持明院(じみょういん)統に伝領された。なお火災にあい，たびたび移転，現在地へは1588年に移る。
