Wikipedia definition
2. Bukkō-ji, also known as the Temple of the Buddha Light, was originally named Kosho-ji, a Jōdo Shinshū temple in Yamashina-ku, Kyoto, which later moved to the heart of Kyoto. The temple was founded and officially opened by Ryōgen in 1324. The name Kosho-ji was given to Ryōgen for the temple by Kakunyo, Hongan-ji's first head priest. While Bukkō-ji is technically an independent Jōdo Shinshū branch it has had close links to the Hongan-ji lineage since the time of Rennyo.
