Also along the Path of Philosophy is a small temple called Honen-in, honoring a famous priest from the 1100's who spread Buddhism among the common people instead of just the nobles. He spread it a bit too wildly, arguing that everyone was equal in Buddha's eyes, which didn't sit well with the other noble Buddhist sects. So they told the emperor that Honen was urging the commonfolk to have sex with noble women, which apparently was enough to rouse the emperor into actually doing something for the first time in centuries. He had Honen exiled, but eventually allowed him to return at the ripe old age of 79, whereupon he fasted for a year and starved to death. He's also famous for repeating a prayer to Buddha 60,000 times a day every day, presumably a fairly short prayer.
