点评:Zenkoji was one of the highlights of our Nagano trip a while ago. A truly impressive and historic temple, and one of the highlights of visiting Nagano. Zenkō-ji (善光寺 , Temple of the Benevolent Light) is a Buddhist temple located in the city of Nagano, Japan. At Zenkoji, anyone who sincerely prays and chants, regardless of gender, social status, or religious background, is welcomed. Zenkoji Temple leaves a deep impression, with its quiet aura of serene solitude. Binzuru is a revered Buddhist disciple believed to possess healing powers and deep compassion. His presence in temples invites quiet devotion, ritual gestures, and the hope of physical and spiritual relief! Particularly in Japan, Binzuru is worshipped by those who believe he has the power to heal physical and mental ailments. Binzuru Sonja is believed to have great healing powers, and it is said that touching the part of the statue corresponding to one's ailment will heal physical and mental ailments too. This is a very personal and interactive form of prayer like I’m doing now. Praying to Binzuru for healing, physical and spiritual relief for myself and family with prayer flowers. Zenkoji was one of the highlights of our Nagano trip. This temple is truly remarkable. It was constructed over a millennium ago and has been meticulously preserved under Japanese stewardship. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stands as a testament to the enduring beauty and cultural significance of Japan. A visit to this iconic attraction is undoubtedly a must for any traveler exploring the country. We enjoyed eating the local soba buckwheat noodles at one of the many restaurants nearby. Highly recommend visiting this place if you’re fortunate enough to visit Nagano.
