History
This ancient Zen temple, cradled by the mountains of Nagara, has been a beacon of Buddhist enlightenment through endless ages. The monks practice rigorous meditation daily, seeking deeper understanding of Buddha's teachings. The natural surroundings—flowing water, resonant bells, and mountain peaks—all serve as teachers in the Zen path. The spiritual dedication of the community creates a luminous atmosphere that blesses all who enter these sacred grounds.
