Main Hall (Japanese Buddhism)

This article is about the Main Hall in Japanese Buddhist temple. For the Main Hall in Chinese Buddhist temple, see Mahavira Hall.
Tōdai-ji's latest "Daibutsuden" reconstructed in 1709 is a 9x7-bay kondō (Japan's National Treasure)

Main hall or Main Temple is the building within a Japanese Buddhist monastery compound (garan) which enshrines the main object of veneration.[1] Because the various denominations deliberately use different terms, this single English term translates several Japanese words, among them butsuden, butsu-dō, kondō, konpon-chūdō, and hondō. Hondō is its exact Japanese equivalent, while the others are more specialized words used by particular sects or for edifices having a particular structure.
