History

Shuuken-ji in Nishi-Tatecho maintains strict Zen teachings as a practice hall to this day. Monks here forge body and spirit, seeking the truth of the Buddhist path in an unbroken lineage. The Dharma lamp passed down through generations in Kameoka continues to shine brilliantly to the present. This temple possesses the power to purify visitors' hearts and guide them to spiritual depth.
