Who was Etai Yamada?
The Most Venerable Etai Yamada was the 253rd head priest of the Japanese Tendai school of Mahayana Buddhism.

In 1987, he held a religious summit meeting on Mount Hiei near Kyoto. This event has been held annually to the present day, inviting religious leaders to gather to pray for worldwide peace and reconciliation.
