At 32 he returned to Buzan, then received dharma transmission from 榮嚴, and took abiṣeka 灌頂, or esoteric initiation, under a number of different masters. From age 33 to age 56, he taught at a number of Shingon schools. At age 56, Gonda became the head of the Buzan Sect and set up a college in Tōkyō.
