History
This temple symbolizes practical training and wisdom development. As its name suggests through the character 'jittai', it has preserved the tradition of emphasizing actual practice over mere theory. In Sakai, countless practitioners have walked the path of practice and refined wisdom. I hold deep respect for their unceasing dedication to their sacred work.
