History
Koshouin standing quietly in Kiyota-cho, Gamagori, is a sacred place filled with the compassion of Avalokitesvara. The silence before the temple gate guides the hearts of visitors to profound meditation and brings a sense of being enveloped in the light of Tathagata. As far as I know, through many centuries of history, this place has listened to the suffering of countless people and continued to light the lamp of hope.
