History

Visible from the Eizan Electric Railway line, Manshuiin Monzeki holds Manjushri Bodhisattva as its principal deity. Historically, disciples of Saicho studied advanced Buddhist philosophy within these precincts. The scholarly tradition endures; seekers continue to come pursuing wisdom and enlightenment. The fragrance of ancient texts seems to carry a thousand years of accumulated knowledge. Its dignified garden provides the ideal setting for spiritual refinement and contemplation.
