History
Enshrined as the main sanctuary of Hongan-ji's Pure Land teachings, this temple preserves the wisdom of Shinran. Countless devotees have journeyed here with hearts set on Amitabha's Pure Land. Through ages past, the sweet recitation of nembutsu has never ceased, guiding all who enter toward profound faith and illuminating the path from suffering toward rebirth in the Pure Land.
