A ray of light shining through the darkness,
"Removing darkness from all light"
That is the Koyasan Shingon sect Osahiyama Yamazaki Daishi Henmyoin
In the hill behind the temple, there are more than 100 stone Buddha statues of deities associated with the 88 Shikoku Pilgrimage Sites and other temples with ties to the temple. In the grounds in front of the main hall, a stone Buddha statue of the 33rd temple in the Saigoku Pilgrimage is also enshrined, making it a fun place to take a pilgrimage.
Come on, let's go on a journey of spiritual discovery together.
"The six realms and four lives are all our parents.
Cicada movement,
There is no such thing as Buddha nature.
Living in this confused world
All living things are their parents
It is a reincarnation of
Small flying insects and crawling insects
To the tiny insects that wriggle underground
Everything has Buddha nature
Kobo Daishi

By chanting 100% of your consciousness, your brain waves will enter an altered state of consciousness, and a transformation in consciousness will begin. At times, you will experience a mystical experience in which you will see or hear invisible figures. The rhythm of the drums and the sound of the shakujo will spur on the transformation in consciousness. The experiences vary widely, so it is difficult to describe unless you have experienced it. We hope you will be captivated by the mysterious world of the 1,000-volume training.
