History
This temple stands quietly in Sekigashima, Ichikawa, where seekers of spiritual practice gather to hone themselves through strict teaching. Through centuries I have observed, quiet practice has transformed countless hearts with the persistence of water wearing stone. Deep wisdom beyond ordinary comprehension flows through the lineage of monks here. That legacy continues to nurture new practitioners even across the ages.
