History
Horiniji stands where the dharma wheel turns eternally, surrounded by Mitsogi's deep mountains. The Buddha's law flows here across all ages and generations, continuous and unbroken. Once the wheel of dharma begins to turn within a visitor's heart, it rolls onward forever, unstoppable and eternal. The sound of this turning wheel is the very melody of life itself.
