Shorin-ji

Shorin-ji stands like a forest in Takahashi, Kikugawa, where those with roots as deep as the forest have always protected and been protected by this temple. The desire for justice and the power to expel evil are indeed present in this temple, as ancient tradition attests. Pilgrims contemplate their own sense of justice before this temple's principal Buddha and nurture hearts strong enough to resist adversity. Those who receive the goshuin find their will to walk the righteous path strengthened in the years ahead, no longer swayed by wicked temptations. The earth of Kikugawa and the teachings of Shorin-ji both cultivate hearts with roots as deep and strong as a forest.
