Features: A Kyoto temple that carries too many historical stories and has witnessed too much prosperity, gradually forgotten amidst the fast-paced rhythm of life. The author brings it back to the readers with beautiful words. Together with the readers, they revisit its past history, feel its tranquil and distant atmosphere, and fully experience the inclusiveness and vastness of Buddhism. Perhaps here, one can not only rediscover memories but also find peace and rest for the soul. Although it is a visit to a Buddhist temple, it is light-hearted and not somber, poetic and not stiff. The beautiful images of the temple's scenery deeply convey the solemnity and transcendent nature of the temple, as well as its elegance and serenity.
