Eihei-ji
In keeping with Zen's Mahayana tradition , the iconography in various buildings is an array of potential confusion for newcomers: at the "Sanmon" are four kings standing guard named "Shitenno"; the Buddha hall's main altar has three statues of Buddhas past , present and future; the "Hatto" displays "Kannon" the bodhisattva of compassion , and four white lions ( called the "a-un no shishi" ) ; the "Yokushitsu" has "Baddabara"; the "Sanshokaku" has a statue of "Hotei"; and the "Tosu" displays "Ucchusma" .
