History
Surrounded by cinnamon trees in Kanai, Tsuru, this temple preserves silence. True to its name with characters of 'scene' and 'forest,' it has valued practice within natural beauty. Every breeze through the trees and light filtering through leaves teaches dharma. Many practitioners have walked this forested path, refining their hearts. This temple demonstrates through its own being that true Zen heart grows in nature.
