Ryōnin was born the son of Tomita no Shō (富田 荘), the feudal lord of Owari Province. When he was young, he was called Yoshihito (良仁). At the age of 12, he left home and began studying Buddhism near Mount Hiei. After his education, he worked in the Jitsuhōbō (実報房) as a temple priest (Nembutsu choir priest), who continuously practiced nembutsu in the Jōgyō-Sanmaidō Hall (常行三昧堂), where Amida Buddha is the main object of worship.
