History
Silence of Doriniji spreads across the Kariya land where I walk. Zen practitioners who deeply pursued enlightenment have sought the state of non-self here. Each time one passes through the gate, a cleansing clarity touches the heart. Centuries of accumulated practice have crystallized in this place.
