History
Standing in Donozaka, Kyotamba, Taikyoji embodies the void-like mind. Practitioners here pursue the realm of no-thought, daily polishing their hearts. Gradually, the dust of delusion and discrimination falls away, revealing the original pure mind. True to its name of Great Void, enlightenment's light ceaselessly illuminates this temple beyond all attachment.
