History
As a sub-temple of Ssenzenji, it conveys the deep compassion of Amitabha Buddha. True to its name, it is a place of constant prayer for Amitabha's welcome. It gathers the deep faith of those wishing to be born in Paradise, and their wishes are surely granted. Here lies a compass for crossing the sea of suffering.
