Through his charisma and proselytizing, Shin Buddhism was able to amass a greater following and grow in strength.
Early Shin Buddhism did not truly flourish until the time of Rennyo (1415–1499), who was 8th in descent from Shinran. Some of Shinran's disciples founded their own schools of Shin Buddhism, such as the Bukko-ji and Kosho-ji, in Kyoto. Shinran's descendants maintained themselves as caretakers of Shinran's gravesite and as Shin teachers, although they continued to be ordained in the Tendai School. Following Shinran's death, the lay Shin monto slowly spread through the Kantō and the northeastern seaboard.
