Senzenzan Amabetsu-in

In the heart of Kofu stands the Amabetsu-in, a nunnery dedicated to women's path toward enlightenment. The Lotus Sutra teaches that all women possess Buddha nature and may attain salvation. The nuns who practice here embody the Lotus teachings' radiant light. Surrounded by the noise and chaos of the city, this sanctuary has preserved quiet and purity. Countless souls have found spiritual cleansing within these walls, guided toward their true nature by devoted practice.
