HOREN is not a famous priest. He was a Shingon priest who was active during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts. Horen was Monkan's favorite disciple in his later years. The “Yuka-dantou-syou” that he wrote has been regarded as one of the few clues to clarify the origin of Monkan, who has been regarded as a mysterious priest. Monkan served as head of the Shingon sect, but his origins have been unknown. In recent years, Buddhist theory books related to monkan have been discovered one after another. It is known that in many cases Horen was involved in the creation of these works. Horen's writings have been discovered one after another in recent years, and they were written based on the teachings of Monkan. In 'Himitsu-saiyou-syhou' written by Horen, it is written that when Monkan was exiled to Iwo-jima, Horen was always with him as a retainer. In February 1357, Horen visited Kakujo, an old acquaintance of the monk at Enmyoji Temple in Ise Province, and was asked by Kakujo about Buddhist theory. Taking this as an opportunity, HOREN began to write "Yuka- denshin-shou" ,which was completed in March 1358. According to the "Yuka- denshin-shou", in 1358, HOREN was 58 years old and had been a priest for 22 years. In 1336, when the Southern Court fled to Yoshino, Horen entered the priesthood. I believe that Horen served Monkan for many years as a samurai secretary and became a priest under political crisis. It is also extremely important that Horen had an old acquaintance with Kakujo, and that he was on friendly terms with him. Enmyoji in Ise Province was a branch temple of Saidaiji. Kakujo was a ritsu-priest and an important person who served as the 11th chief priest of Saidaiji Temple. Monkan in his later years was thought to have become estranged from Saidaiji Temple, but this is not the case. The Monkan sect and the Saidaiji sect maintained close ties even after Monkan's death.
