The Taikyo Institute (大教院, Taikyōin or Daikyōin; Lit. "Great Doctrine Institute")[1] was an organization under the Ministry of Religion in the Empire of Japan.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]It was founded in 1872[3] to train kyōdo shōku or religious teachers because the Missionary Office and Department of Divinities were unsuccessful in their national indoctrination objectives.[4] It was intended as a joint Shinto and Buddhist organization, but ended up becoming entirely dominated by Shinto.[citation needed]
Chūkyōin (中教院; "Middle Doctrine Academies") were established in each prefectural capital and Shōkyoin (小教院; "Minor Doctrine Academies") were established in various cities.[5]
On January 1, 1875, an arson attack on the Taikyo Institute caused confusion, with four Jōdo Shinshū sects informally announcing their departure from the Great Teaching Institute.[6]
On May 3, 1875, the Taikyo Institute was dissolved by the Ministry of Religion[7] and replaced with the Bureau of Shinto Affairs[8] and later Shintō Taikyō.[2]
Ame-no-Minakanushi was one of its patron deities, also known under the Buddhist name Myōken.[9]
