Two gates lead up to this Buddhist temple right at the foot of Tokyo Tower. At night, the skyline illuminated the lovely coexistence. & Oh yes that Seattle coffeehouse dotted this town everywhere including this path between the 2 gates leading up to the temple gate. No photo taking allowed of the Buddha.
Tokugawa Shogun is honored here which seems appropriate for this humble warrior… to pay respect. This Buddhist sect had their 21st century proclamation which translates roughly to:
Self-Awareness to the ignorant and foolish
Buddha’s Light to reach all families
Greater Compassion in our society
More sharing among all lives inhabiting this world.

To which we – Gassho. 🙏
