Welcome Message

Hello, I’m Zedo Yamanaka from Houdenji Temple. Our temple started as a place where a female monk helped people who needed advice after a big war. Even though our temple is small, we care a lot about everyone’s feelings. We also do different activities to share Buddha’s teachings and help people find their own good way of living.

Activities
