History
Gedatsu-ji is a place where people gather, wishing to be freed from suffering through the teachings of Buddha. This land has long been revered as a god of learning, and many students visit. The quiet and calm atmosphere of the temple grounds purifies the mind and gives one the strength to face things with a fresh perspective. As the name Gedatsu (liberation) suggests, this is truly a sacred place for those seeking peace of mind. Perhaps the goshuin depicts a pattern representing the compassion of Buddha.
