Once a man stole some of the sacred oil for the lamp at 比叡山 Mount Hieizan.
When he died his spirit became a rinka 燐火 will‐o'‐the‐wisp and flew around in sommer nights.
The light at 七条朱雀 Shijo Kujaku from 道元 Dogen is probably from this flame.
This kind of story is told in many parts of Japan.

Once upon a time, at 金剛寺 the Temple Kongo-Ji there was a priest
who came every morning to pour some oil into the lamp.
One day the priest wanted to do something malicious and stole some oil to make it to money.
When he wanted to go out to enjoy himself he could not move and died soon.
The next morning a priest at the temple gate heard of a ghost showing there.
This ghost carried some oil and walked up to the main hall. The priest heard a voice:
「油返そう、油返そう。わずかなことに、わずかなことに」.
"I bring back some oil, just a little, just a little!"
This aburabo 油坊 oil monk can be seen to our days.

aburabo 油坊 "oil monk" lights can be seen from late spring to early summer.
The light looks like a monk, hence the name.
They say a monk who stole sacred oil from the lamp at Mound Hieizan turned into this ghost.
