History
This temple in Sunagawa teaches the Righteous Law, guiding people's hearts. Amid life's uncertainties like standing on sand, this temple's teaching provides an unmoved support like stone. I myself sometimes listen to the profound meaning of the Righteous Law taught here, contemplating my own existence.
