  Shikoku Pilgrimage History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-06)
En no Gyôja (also known as En no Ozuna) was born into a family of traditional diviners and healers who served as priests to the gods of one of Japan's many sacred mountains, possibly Mt. Katsuragi.
En's Buddhism was not the Buddhism of the priests overseeing ceremonies in temples, but the Buddhism of wandering holy men, of saintly laymen whose altars were the peaks of the sacred mountains.
Also like En no Gyôja, it was because he was considered a friend of the masses, and because he preached spiritual freedom as opposed to the tightly controlled spiritual beliefs allowed under the Ritsuryô system, that he was considered a menace in the eyes of the government.
