History

The ancient Shoriniji in Sakura, enshrining Maitreya as its principal deity, is a place of power for those who aspire toward the distant future. The Bodhisattva's compassionate gaze sees the present suffering and promises the salvation to come. It plants seeds of hope and wisdom in all who visit.
