Following this year, Hideyoshi assembled monks from the eight Buddhist sects of Japan (Tendai, Shingon, Ritsu, Zen, Pure Land, Niciren, Ji, Ikko) to hold a 'Senso Kuyo' (a memorial service attended by 1,000 monks) at the 'Daibutsu Kyodo' (Great Buddha Sutra Hall) to pray for the happiness of his deceased parents and ancestors in the afterlife.
この年以降、秀吉は亡父母や先祖の菩提を弔うため、当時の日本仏教の八宗（天台、真言、律、禅、浄土、日蓮、時、一向）の僧を集めた「千僧供養」を「大仏経堂」で行った。
