Zendoji Serenity: Timeless Tranquility Beckon

#2024wish In the heart of Nakagofukumachi, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka, lies the serene Zendoji Temple, a haven of Pure Land Buddhism. As I stepped onto its grounds, the air carried whispers of ancient teachings, and the temple's rich history unfolded through the wooden statues and artifacts from the Muromachi and Edo periods. The tranquility of the place, protected by the Ouchi and Kuroda Clans, left an indelible mark on my soul. Among the treasures, the boat's anchor stone and the resonant bonsho bell echoed tales of centuries past. In 2024, I wish to go there again, to bask in the wisdom of Zendoji and relive the spiritual journey that lingers in my memories.
