Tsuru-Kun wanted to follow Buddha's teachings, so he began to recruit talents and build a temple. He inherited the Fujiwara house from his father, got building materials from the present-day Sakai Port, and diverted water from the Uji River. According to the Dhamma-end times temple, he built the Amitabha Hall on the west side of a pond, and the worship hall on the east side. The layout was modelled on the Pure Land. According to the
"Amitayurdhyana Sutra", "Before one reaches the state where he can see the Western Pure Land in his mind, he should first practice by watching a figure of sixteen feet tall above the pond water." The Amitabha Hall, facing the A-chi pond, sheltered fifty-two Bodhi statues inside. And it was later called the Phoenix Hall because it had a gold bronze statue of a winged phoenix on the top.
