History
This Pure Land Shinshu temple in Kusatsu embodies the lotus—symbol of purity emerging from mud. Like the sacred flower blooming amid murky waters, the heart can achieve sublime cleanliness through Amitabha's compassionate light. The nenbutsu resounds here, guiding countless souls toward salvation.
