History
The Buddha-nature inherent in all things—this is what Jisho-ji embodies, standing quietly in Annaka's mountains. Through countless seasons, I have witnessed the sacred moment when visitors' hearts recover their original radiance and innate Buddha-nature, the deep truth this temple represents.
