Myomanji

I thought people would enjoy seeing the head temple Myomanji, beautiful pic,

isn't it. The temple is in the northern section of Kyoto with wonderful views

of Mt. Hiei. I love the raked gravel too.
Myomanji also has this wonderful re-creation of the stupa at Bodhgaya in India

it's where the earthly Shakyamuni became enlightened. More fabulous views

of Mt. Hiei, that's where the Tendai sect which reveres the Lotus Sutra is

situated.

Finally an altar at Myomanji:
          
I don' t know if it's the main one I have to ask, but it's wonderful....

And finally here is a pic of the original Mahabodhi temple in India that my friend Ven. Indrajala took:

I hope you enjoyed these photos and maybe one day make a visit! My gohonzon

did. Here is it's eye-opening ceremony:

Next time it will be me!
