History
Seijuuin Daizenji is a powerful spiritual site where visitors confront the stern gaze of Enma the Great King, judge of the afterlife. This temple confronts visitors with the gravity of karma and past actions, yet maintains a vision of redemption and salvation. The statue of Enma within the hall is known to inspire deep introspection in all who encounter it. The temple offers sutra copying sessions where visitors can purify their karma through focused practice of hand and mind. Standing between hell and heaven, seekers find here a place to face themselves with profound sincerity and transform their spiritual path.
