It was in this year that the then head of the Wake clan, WAKE no Hiroyo (the first son of Kiyomaro), invited Saicho to Takaosan-ji Temple to conduct a Hokke-e (Lotus Sutra lecture) to mark the 3rd anniversary of the death of his aunt WAKE no Hiromushi (Hokin-ni).
この年、和気氏の当主であった和気弘世（清麻呂の長男）は伯母に当たる和気広虫（法均尼）の三周忌を営むため、最澄を高雄山寺に招請し、最澄はここで法華会（ほっけえ、法華経の講説）を行った。
