History
A hidden temple in the depths of Sado. When we passed nearby, we sensed the quiet presence of practitioners devoted to their discipline. How noble is the spirit to protect the dharma and walk the righteous path. Visiting this place shall awaken the faith sleeping in one's heart. Regardless of religion, the sincere heart underlying all belief is the most beautiful thing of all.
