Great Teaching Institute 大教院 Predecessor Department of Divinities Successor Bureau of Shinto Affairs Formation 1872 Dissolved 1875 Parent organization Ministry of Religion

The **Taikyo Institute** (大教院, *Taikyōin or Daikyōin*; Lit. "Great Doctrine Institute")[1] was an organization under the [Ministry of Religion](/source/Ministry_of_Religion_(Japan)) in the [Empire of Japan](/source/Empire_of_Japan).[2]

## History

It was founded in 1872[3] to train [*kyōdo shōku*](/source/Kyodo_Shoku) or religious teachers because the [Missionary Office](/source/Missionary_Office) and [Department of Divinities](/source/Department_of_Divinities) were unsuccessful in their national indoctrination objectives.[4] It was intended as a joint [Shinto](/source/Shinto) and [Buddhist](/source/Buddhism) organization, but ended up becoming entirely dominated by [Shinto](/source/Shinto).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

*Chūkyōin* (中教院; "Middle Doctrine Academies") were established in each prefectural capital and *Shōkyoin* (小教院; "Minor Doctrine Academies") were established in various cities.[5]

On January 1, 1875, an arson attack on the Taikyo Institute caused confusion, with four [Jōdo Shinshū](/source/J%C5%8Ddo_Shinsh%C5%AB) sects informally announcing their departure from the Great Teaching Institute.[6]

On May 3, 1875, the Taikyo Institute was dissolved by the [Ministry of Religion](/source/Ministry_of_Religion_(Japan))[7] and replaced with the [Bureau of Shinto Affairs](/source/Bureau_of_Shinto_Affairs)[8] and later [Shintō Taikyō](/source/Shint%C5%8D_Taiky%C5%8D).[2]

[Ame-no-Minakanushi](/source/Ame-no-Minakanushi) was one of its patron deities, also known under the Buddhist name [Myōken](/source/My%C5%8Dken).[9]
