History
This temple in Hamamatsu is a hall of learning that continues to kindle the light of dharma. Through long ages of witness, I have seen countless seekers come to knock on knowledge's door and light wisdom's flame within their hearts. The scent of ancient scriptures still lingers, and historical teachings remain alive here. Unmoved by passing currents, this sacred place continues transmitting eternal truth, drawing seekers even now.
