{{nihongo|'''Manju-ji'''|万寿寺}} is a [[Rinzai]] [[Buddhist]] [[temple]] in [[Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto|Higashiyama-ku]] [[Kyoto]], [[Japan]].<ref>Iwao, Seiichi ''et al.'' (2002). [https://books.google.com/books?id=fW9v37poqcQC&dq=manju-ji&pg=PA1742 ''Dictionnaire historique du Japon,'' p. 1742.]</ref> Owing to the influence of the Ashikaga, Manju-ji was designated a [[Jissatsu]] temple for a time. At present, it is a sub-temple of [[Tōfuku-ji]].<ref>Baroni, Helen Josephine. (2002). [https://books.google.com/books?id=smNM4ElP3XgC&dq=Manju-ji&pg=PA214 ''The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Zen Buddhism,'' p. 214.]</ref> It is considered to be one of the so-called [[Five Mountain System|Kyoto ''Gozan'']] or "five great Zen temples of Kyoto".

==History==
{{Expand section|date=March 2010}}
Manju-ji was founded in the middle [[Heian period]] (late 13th century).<ref>[http://www.culturalprofiles.net/japan/Directories/Japan_Cultural_Profile/-33.html Japan Cultural Profile]: [http://www.culturalprofiles.net/japan/Directories/Japan_Cultural_Profile/-13480.html "Buddhist architecture in the Kamakura period (1185-1333)"]</ref> In 1305, {{nihongo|[[Nanpo Shōmyō]]|南浦紹明}} (1235–1308) was appointed abbot of Manju-ji.<ref>[http://zen.rinnou.net/index.html Joint Council for Japanese Rinzai and Obaku Zen]: [http://zen.rinnou.net/whats_zen/history.html "Transmission of Zen to Japan"]</ref>

In 2012, the monastery participated in the so-called ''East-West Spiritual Exchanges'' organised by the Institute for Zen Studies of [[Hanazono University]] and the [[Monastic Interreligious Dialogue]] (DIMMID) in which Buddhist and Christian monks or nuns take turns residing for one month in each other’s monasteries.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Jonnart |first1=Fr.

An artistically noteworthy Amida figure is too large to be moved from Manju-ji for display elsewhere.<ref>McCallum, Donald F.

Part II: A Review Article," ''Artibus Asiae,'' Vol. 36, No. 1/2 (1974), pp. 147 n3.]</ref> The temple holds a collection of esoteric Buddhist art which was traditionally used in teaching the salient points in the story of the life of [[Gautama Buddha]].<ref>[http://www.aisf.or.jp/~jaanus/ JAANUS (Japanese Architecture and Art Net Users System)]: [http://www.aisf.or.jp/~jaanus/deta/s/shakahassou.htm {{Nihongo|''Shaka hassou''|釈迦八相|''Sha-ka-has-sou''}}.]</ref>
