The world of delicate beauty(Yugen)

2015.05.18

Places to visit

I visited Eihei-ji Temple located about 16 kilometers southeast of Fukui city.

This temple was founded by Zen Master Dogen Zenji 770 years ago as the education and training center for Zen monks.

There were few visitors in the drizzling rain and therefore, I could enter the world of delicate beauty(Yugen) , stillness and quietness for a while.

GEN introduced Eiheiji Tmple by the title of “We have Eiheiji in Fukui” and “White Healing”(Japanese version only) presented by the cities in Fukui is also informative.

When you come to Fukui Pref.- home to a wealth of traditions, please visit there to understand the Japanese Buddhism culture deeply.
