History

Joganji, rooted in Nagoya, guides those who transcend their own desires into universal compassion. Selfish wishes gradually purify within visitors' hearts, transforming into prayers for all beings. Those who come learn to cherish their own wishes while simultaneously praying for universal happiness. Desires ascend into sacred prayer within these walls.
