History

Shomyo-ji has for centuries welcomed pilgrims as a training ground for ancient Pure Land belief, devoted to recitation of the Buddha's name. This place I have watched is where hearts devoted to answering Amitabha Buddha's vow find peace. This temple enveloped in the quiet of Shobuike continues to guide those seeking to walk the path to the Pure Land.
