Zentsuji Kwanchiin - The Town of Zentsuji and its Children

The temple grounds are a playground. Growing up in a carefree environment Children of Zentsuji.

Zentsuji Temple, the head temple of the Shingon sect of esoteric Buddhism, is the birthplace of the legend of Kukai and the beginning of Shingon esoteric Buddhism. It is said that Saeki Mako used to play under the sunlight filtering through the camphor tree. Gogaku-san (Mt. Gogaku), which is called Byeongpugaura in the background, and the calm sea of Setouchi (Setouchi Inland Sea) a little to the north. He must have looked at the trading ships that passed by east and west, and looked forward to the future with joy and expectation. The area is a place where one can feel the beginning of the future in spite of its gentle climate. The coexistence of temple and town. The GSDF garrison and Gokoku Shrine. Children learn about the life of the great Kukai at school. What is the supreme life in Kukai's sense? Can we find the supreme love in our lifetime? Kukai's footprints remain here as culture and spirit beyond the boundaries of emotional education.

Generous and relaxed atmosphere The Town of Zentsuji

What is the temple for? A place where you can gain the strength to seek happiness in your life. It is also a place where you can confirm whether or not you have truly attained the highest happiness after seeking the path of becoming a human being. We believe that it is our mission because it is the place where Daishi began, and that it can be the point of contact between life and death, between the mundane world and the holy world. Therefore, the halls and precincts themselves are effective means of inviting people to enlightenment.

Life in which the culture of Odaishi-san

Kobo-Daishi Kukai is called Odaissan especially in Shikoku. When the weather is fine, it is thanks to Odaichisan. When it rains, it is thanks to Odaishi-san. The temple is loved by people of all religious sects, and is a place of peace of mind that exists together with Odaizan. This is probably the reason for the generous nature of Shikoku. Kwanchiin will contribute to the promotion of a positive attitude and sense of responsibility toward community development so that the residents of Zentsuji City will have even more civic pride through Odaissan.
