Genshin also known as Eshin Sozu, was the most influential of a number of Tendai scholars active during the tenth and eleventh centuries in Japan.

Genshin is credited as the founder of the Enshin school of Tendai Buddhism, and for espousing the "original enlightenment" teaching, or hongaku, where one is originally enlightened, but unaware of it -- like YOU are now after reading this.

Genshin - 1000 years ago today!
