English: According to the theory of syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, it was considered to be the same god as the Emperor Ankan, so that at the time of separation of Buddhism and Shintoism in the Meiji period, many shrines which had enshrined Zao Gongen other than Head Temple Kinpusen-ji Temple determined the Emperor Ankan as Saishin, an enshrined deity.
Japanese: 神仏習合の教説では安閑天皇と同一の神格とされたため、明治時代の神仏分離の際には、本山である金峯山寺以外の蔵王権現を祀っていた神社では祭神を安閑天皇としたところも多い。
English: In addition, the Zao Mountain Range, a member of the one hundred biggest mountains of Japan, which lie on the border between Yamagata Prefecture and Miyagi Prefecture, has been the subject of mountain worship from ancient times so that mountaineering ascetics who believed in Shinto-Buddhist amalgamation of Kukai, came to practice ascetic training around the middle of the Heian period.

Japanese: 1531年には本願寺教団内部で対立（後の山科本願寺焼討事件まで含めて享禄・天文の乱と呼ぶ）が起こるが、証如はこれを抑えて法主の指導力強化に努めた。
English: The following year (1532), he mobilized his followers to subvert Motonaga Miyoshi at the request of Harumoto HOSOKAWA, who held the post of Kanrei (shogunal deputy); however, in fear of the power held by Hongan-ji Temple, Harumoto attacked and burned down Yamashina Hongan-ji Temple, which was home to the Hongan-ji Temple school at that time, in cooperation with the Nichiren sect groups and Sadayori ROKKAKU (this incident is known as the Tenbun-hokke Riot).
Japanese: 翌1532年年には、管領細川晴元の要請を受けて門徒を動員し、三好元長を敗死に追いやったが、晴元はこれによってかえって本願寺の実力を恐れ、京都の日蓮宗教団や六角定頼と手を結んで、当時の本願寺の本拠地であった山科本願寺を攻撃し、これを焼き討ちにした（天文法華の乱）。

English: Later, in the days of Shonyo's son Kennyo, the book was to have been given to Sakihisa KONOE, the former chief adviser to the emperor who had worked to bring about peace during the Ishiyama War, but he refused to accept it on the grounds that 'a national treasure should not be given away without good reason,' and the book has been in the possession of Hongan-ji Temple as a national treasure ever since.
Japanese: これは、後に息子・顕如の時代に石山合戦の和議に尽くした前関白近衛前久に贈ろうとしたものの、「天下の宝物をみだりに遣り取りすべきでない」として辞退したという代物で現在も西本願寺に所蔵されている国宝である。
English: In addition, during the days of Shonyo, Hongan-ji Temple began to intervene even more actively on behalf of their followers in the Hokuriku region by acting as a mediator in the Kaga Ikko Ikki (an uprising of Ikko sect followers in Kaga), and to strengthen the control of their followers in the region, they built a Gobo in Kanazawa City in 1546, but they did not fully succeed in their aim during Shonyo's lifetime as a result of a conflict with the Asakura clan.
Japanese: また、証如の代に本願寺は、加賀一向一揆の調停という形で北陸地方の門徒集団への介入を深め、1546年には金沢市に御坊を築いて同地方における門徒の統制を強化したが、これは朝倉氏との対立もあって、証如の時代には必ずしも十分に達成されなかった。
English: Junnyo (August 3, 1577 - January 21, 1632) was an individual from the Azuchi-Momoyama period and Edo period.
Japanese: 准如（じゅんにょ、1577年8月3日（天正5年7月9日(旧暦)）－1631年1月2日（寛永8年11月30日(旧暦)））は安土桃山時代、江戸時代の人物。
English: Triggered by Junnyo's succession to Monshu, instead of his brother, who was at odds with their father, Hongwan-ji Temple split into east and west.
Japanese: 准如が父と対立した兄に代わって門主を継いだことをきっかけに、本願寺は東西に分裂した。
English: In the Ishiyama War, his father Kennyo made peace with Nobunaga ODA and departed from Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple to Saginomori of Kii Province in 1580.
Japanese: 石山戦争の折、父顕如は織田信長と和睦し、1580年に石山本願寺を退去、紀伊国鷺森に移った。
English: After that, Kennyo moved to Osaka Tenma, upon being given the land of a temple by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, and moved to Shichijo Horikawa in Kyoto (the present location of Hongan-ji Temple) after being given land again by Hideyoshi again in 1591.
Japanese: その後、顕如は豊臣秀吉に寺地を与えられ大坂天満に移ったが、1591年秀吉により現在の本願寺の地である京都の七条堀川に再び寺地を与えられ移転。
English: As a result, Junnyo also came to Kyoto and, when Kennyo died the following year (1592), he succeeded to Kennyo's position, becoming the 12th Monshu of Hongan-ji Temple in 1593.
Japanese: これに伴い准如も京都に入るが、翌1592年に顕如が没すると、1593年に准如が本願寺第十二世を継いだ。
English: Nishi Hongan-ji Temple claimed that Junnyo's brother Kyonyo was basically at odds with their father, as was evident when he withdrew to Ishiyama Hongan-ji Temple in 1580 despite his father having given up his resistance to the Oda clan, and he was closely watched by Hideyoshi as well when he succeeded Oda Nobunaga, so it was natural that Rennyo became the next Monshu.
Japanese: 西本願寺の主張によると、もともと兄の教如は1580年の石山本願寺退去の折、織田氏への抗戦継続を断念した父に背いて石山本願寺に篭るなど父と不仲で、また、織田氏を継承した秀吉にも警戒されており、自然と准如が立てられるようになったという。
English: Kenson, the second son of Kennyo (half brother of Kyonyo) supported Junnyo as his guardian, forcing his daughter to marry him.
Japanese: 顕如の次男である顕尊（教如の同母弟）は准如の後見人として自分の娘を正室として迎えさせるなど准如の支持に回った。
English: It is said that succession to the position of Monshu by Junnyo, the third son, was eventually realized when his mother turned to Hideyoshi, who was then a vassal of Nobunaga, for help.
Japanese: 最終的に准如の母が信長の家臣であった秀吉に頼み込んで三男の相続が実現したという。
English: It is said that Junnyo was at odds with his half-brother Kyonyo as well (there is, however, another theory that suggests his mother may have shared the same mother as Junnyo, Nyoshun-ni).
Japanese: 准如自身も兄の教如とは異母兄弟で(母は同じ如春尼という説もある)折り合いが悪かったとされる。
English: However, after Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI died, Ieyasu TOKUGAWA, who defeated the Toyotomi family, supported Kyonyo and gave land for a temple in Karasuma Shichijo to Kyonyo in 1602, which led to the establishment of Higashi Hongwan-ji Temple.
