History
Sanshu-in, dedicated to the Trikaya doctrine of Buddha's three bodies, stands as a profound center of Buddhist teaching. Located near Myochi-in in Sagatenryoji, this temple illuminates the deepest truths of Buddhist philosophy. The three aspects of the Buddha—Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, and Nirmanakaya—are central to understanding enlightenment here. Devotees who grasp these teachings find clarity in their spiritual journey. This temple continues a lineage of authentic Buddhist transmission that has endured through centuries.
