History
This Soto Zen temple in Ooi Town has maintained its practice for centuries. The sound of chanting and meditation continue unbroken within its walls. Like roots of the sandalwood tree suggested by its name, it has steadfastly guarded the foundation of faith. As a place where visitors encounter their innermost selves through zazen practice, and as a pillar of the community's spirituality, this temple continues its sacred mission.
