Daisho in Temple

I had a somewhat limited opportunity to visit this beautiful Buddhist temple as the first time I went there I got quickly called away to see a patient who had been knocked over by a deer. When I went back on the next visit, the Dalai Lama was there doing a talk, and I didn't have tickets.  What I did see of it though, was to me one of the most interesting of the temples I saw in Japan.
