History
In Suma's sacred precincts, this temple serves as a dojo for those who have embraced righteous determination. To be 'correct' is to walk straight and true; to 'awaken' is to open one's eyes to reality. Countless practitioners have confronted their lives with honesty and reclaimed their authentic selves here. The steady transformation of resolute faces into faces illuminated by enlightenment has graced these grounds. Such sincere intention never goes unrewarded.
