History

Standing in the forest, Shorinji is surrounded by greenery and has transmitted the Buddha's teachings in serenity since ancient times. Many families have sought protection here, praying for their household's prosperity and peace. Through the centuries I have witnessed, this temple remains steadfast as a spiritual anchor for all who visit.
