History
Like a lotus blooming pure and pristine, this temple cultivates hearts of spiritual clarity in the sacred Suma district. The aspiration of the venerable monk Rensei still permeates these grounds, inspiring visitors to recognize Buddha's compassion even amid suffering. As the lotus rises unsullied from muddy waters, so does enlightenment bloom within the human heart that seeks purification and truth.
