History
Standing in Ookiku district, this temple awakens all to their original inherent goodness. All human beings possess Buddha nature, pure and complete from the beginning. Within these sacred grounds, this profound truth awakens successively in human hearts. Once embraced by this sanctuary's profound stillness, one discovers how brilliantly one's original goodness shines forth.
