History
This temple has enshrined the pure lotus Buddha and maintained the recitation of Amida's name for centuries unbroken. Through the flowing stream of time, its compassionate guidance remains constant. Like a vessel sailing toward the Pure Land, it has guided countless pilgrims. Even I find comfort in the promise of such a journey.
