As for Todai-ji Temple, since the Meiji Period, temples have been required to clarify their religious sects and Todai-ji Temple is in the Kegon sect; but in the Nara Period, Todai-ji was a 'Rokushu Kengaku no tera' (Temple of syncretic study of the six sects of Buddhist learning) and inside the Great Buddha Hall, there was a 'Rokushu-zushi' (a cupboard-like case with double doors) in which textbooks of all the sects were kept.
東大寺の場合、近代以降は所属宗派を明示する必要から華厳宗を名乗るが、奈良時代には「六宗兼学の寺」とされ、大仏殿内には各宗の経論を納めた「六宗厨子」があった。
