History
Myoonji is a historic temple nestled in a quiet environment. Founded long ago, it has become a spiritual haven for the local people. The precincts are well-maintained, and a refreshing atmosphere flows through them. The principal image of Buddha is said to pray for family safety and recovery from illness. I feel the warmth of this temple, like that of gentle light. Myoonji will continue to offer hope and peace to many people in the future.
