History
As its name Dairaku suggests, this temple is designed as a place where the joy of paradise can be experienced in this world. The profound teachings of Pure Land Buddhism have brought hope to those suffering. The bell's resonance within the main hall carries the prayers of countless ages. I sense the boundless compassion of Amitabha Buddha here.
