In the early Kamakura period (1192-1333), Anraku-ji temple was founded by Anraku and Juren, disciples of Honen, who popularized the chanting of Namu Amida-Butsu ("I worship thee, Amida Buddha"). Honen's teachings brought solace to commoners during a turbulent era transitioning from aristocratic to feudal rule. However, opposition from the imperial court, fearing social unity and stability would be compromised, led to the persecution of Honen, Anraku, Juren, and Honen's followers. This event, known as the "Kenei Persecution" (1207), marked a rare instance of severe suppression in Japanese Buddhist history.
