Myoshinji

Myoshinji rests on the shores of Lake Hamana, dedicated to the revelation of the mind's true essence. The name itself—'bright mind'—contains the whole teaching. Throughout the ages, this temple has served as a place where visitors shed the tangled nets of complexity and encounter the simple radiance at the heart of consciousness. People often lose their original mind amid worldly preoccupations and mental chatter, mistaking turbulence for truth. Here, practice means stripping away the unnecessary and returning to the luminous mind that has always been one's birthright. In the silence of the lake and the ancient quiet of the surrounding mountains, the heart naturally remembers itself. All suffering dissolves when this bright clarity is restored to consciousness.
