History

Daien-ji in Kamino Teraoki embodies the philosophy that all existence is encompassed within one great circle. Understanding the circular nature of samsara and nirvana, meditation on this has been practiced through generations. Deep in Nantan's mountains, the truth that all beings harmonize and relate within one great circle dwells here. This sacred place brings all-embracing wisdom and universal harmony to visitors' hearts.
