Mybe Shbnin (Kbben, 1173-1232) lived at the beginning of an age of religious renewal and innovation. Hbnen (1133-1212), for example, was advocating the "Single-practice calling upon the name of Amida Buddha" (senju nenbutsu), the founding of the J6d0 sect being traditionally placed in 1175; Eisai (1141-1215) returned from China in 1191 to propagate the meditation practices of Rinzai Zen. And on the secular front there were also renewals and innovations, with the Minamoto clan's establishment of a center of political power in Kamakura which would share the direction of the nation's social, religious and cultural life with the court in Kyoto. The belief was widespread, although not universally accepted, that the world was well into the period of the Decline of the Law (mappa), the last of the three phases of Shakyamuni's teaching, which meant that people would be increasingly incapable of practicing or even of comprehending the original discipline and that human institutions would deteriorate. New methods appropriate to the times were required, and Hbnen, Eisai and Mybe were merely three of the earliest to attempt to meet the challenge of determining what these methods were to be. These three were succeeded by a flood of reformers, notably Dbgen (1200-1253), Nichiren (1222-1282), and Shinran, who was born the same year as Mybe but outlived him by three decades. Mybe's ambition was to rejuvenate Kegon, the most prominent of the old Six Nara Sects, which had its headquarters at the Tbdaiji. After being ordained a priest in 1188, he devoted himself both to the study of Kegon theory and the practices of esoteric Buddhism (mikkyd), and eventually developed his own synthesis, known
