DescriptionThe Dharma Hall is the central building of Nanzen-ji, the prestigious Zen temple holding the highest rank above Kyoto’s Five Mountains. It enshrines Shakyamuni Buddha as its principal image and conveys the disciplined stillness and dignified refinement of a Zen monastery within the expansive temple grounds. Although the Sanmon Gate and Suirokaku aqueduct often attract the most attention, standing before the Dharma Hall brings visitors close to the core of Nanzen-ji’s religious life.
