History
Established through Amida Buddha's primordial vow, this Hongwanji branch in central Sapporo continues teaching that all beings are enveloped in infinite light. Amida's wish to save all sentient beings without distinction of status flows through this place. When light meets light, the heart can no longer harbor delusion.
