Education
Shin-yo was trained by Ryozen on Mount Koya and by Kanjo at the Ninnaji Temple in Kyoto.
Career
Through recommendation of Kakuban, who also studied under Kanjo, he was appointed chief priest of the Daidempoin and Kongobuji temples by Imperial command (1134). He was demoted to kengyo or manager of the Kongobuji Temple when Teikai, head priest of the Toji Temple, assumed additional post as head of the Kongobuji Temple by Imperial order (1137).
