History
In the quiet of Eura, Numazu, Shoko-ji illuminates the path of those seeking light. To shine is to awaken not external light alone, but the light dwelling deep within each heart. The breeze in the old temple's garden, the prayers of pilgrims—all combine to heighten that light and guide all beings toward wisdom.
