History

Standing in Tenamemachi, this temple has continually gathered the prayers of those who contemplate the Buddha's final liberation. Through the centuries I have watched, all who come to this place find their hearts wrapped in stillness and liberation from the suffering of rebirth. This temple's power saves both the living and the departed equally.
