This building was originally built as a "Jibutsu-dō" (Inner Buddha Hall) that enshrines Amida Tathāgata, a symbol of Pure Land belief.
The standing statue of Amida Tathāgata enshrined in the hall is the personal buddha statue of the founding patron.
The hall was designed by Nakamura Masao. He made it in a peaceful style to remind people of Ginkaku-ji Tōgū-dō (Eastward Seeking Hall), which was Ashikaga Yoshimochi's inner Buddha hall. However, it is considerably larger.
The founding patron named the building Hibutsu-dō (Non-Buddha Hall). The characters hibutsu (non-buddha) that hang on the front of it were written by him.
The Hibutsu-dō can be used for a variety of purposes, such as calligraphy and flower arrangement lessons.
