History

Standing quietly in Shimogyo, Shinnyoin teaches the doctrine of Buddha-nature inherent in all beings. Through practice here, seekers learn to perceive the original Buddha-nature that dwells within themselves. This sacred work of spiritual cultivation helps all beings return to their true nature.
