The Daikodo Hall is a place where monks come to study and learn about Buddhism. It is also a place where monks come to debate and discuss the teachings of the Buddha. The hall is a symbol of the importance of education and learning in the Tendai Buddhism sect tradition.
On the left side as you enter the building, you will see some chairs and tables that are used for sutra copying, and anyone willing may participate (refer to the Tips section for the instructions and the meaning behind sutra copying if you would like to try it).
In addition to its religious significance, the Daikodo Hall is also an important architectural landmark.
