History
This temple, called Nanzenbo, continues to transmit the warm compassion of the southern Buddha from its quiet location in Tomo-no-ura. What I perceive is the tranquility of this temple—its acceptance of the impermanence of all things. Time's flow and human existence appear within its serene observation as a unified activity of existence.
