It’s from their website below;
Zenkoji temple is a really old temple that was founded way back in 642 AD.
A guy named Yoshimitsu Honda put a special Buddhist picture there.
The picture is called the Amida Triad Sharing One Halo, or in Japanese, “The Image of Sangoku Denrai”.
People believe that this picture can help them get to the Buddhist Pure Land, no matter who they are.
Lots of people have worshiped this picture throughout the years, from important people to regular people.
But here’s the thing: nobody has been allowed to see the picture since 654!
The temple is called Zenkoji because that’s the name of the guy who founded it, Yoshimitsu.
