The Great Teaching Institute (大教院, Taikyoin)[1] was an organization under the Ministry of Religion in the Empire of Japan.[2]

History

[edit]

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]

Medium Teaching Institutes (中教院, Chukyoin) were established in each prefectural capital and Small Teaching Institutes (小教院, Shokyoin) were established in various cities.[5]

On January 1, 1875, an arson attack on the Great Teaching Institute caused confusion, with four Jōdo Shinshū sects informally announcing their departure from the Great Teaching Institute.[6]

On May 3, 1875, the Great Teaching Institute was dissolved by the Ministry of Religion[7][8] and was succeeded by the Bureau of Shinto Affairs[9] and later Shinto Taikyo.[2]

Ame-no-Minakanushi was one of its patron deities, also known under the Buddhist name Myōken.[10]

The "Great Teaching" is the same word that is used in the "Great Doctrine" or Proclamation of the Great Doctrine, and Taikyo in Shinto Taikyo.
