History
The brilliance of gems symbolizes true beauty. Gyokushou-in's name arose from the wish to polish the hidden jewels within each person's heart. The Buddha and Bodhisattvas enshrined here possess the power to refine even stones buried in dust. Through the ages, I have watched many discover their true essence within these walls.
