History
Illuminated by the light of Suchness, this temple has purified countless practitioners' hearts since ancient times. Protecting profound Buddhist teachings, it embraces all who seek truth. In Kyoto's northern sanctum I have watched, as thousands found clarity and sought wisdom in serene silence.
