History
As a temple teaching the dharma wheel, it has long brought the light of Buddha's way to Kyoto's people. In the hall where sandalwood incense drifts, visitors are said to attain pure hearts. The dharma wheel continues to turn, its teachings forever shine. Enshrined in Sakyo, many still seek its light.
