History
Daikaku means transcending narrow perspective to behold the entire world. This temple in eastern Sapporo serves as a place of practice for confronting fundamental questions: what am I, what is this world. Many practitioners have meditated here, seeking enlightenment in this sacred space. The light of great awakening dwells eternally here.
