		Myoshinji is basically known for its collection of scroll paintings and a zen landscape garden, which I was looking forward too.
		The temple, I heard from my guidebook, had a very famous ink scroll painting that I actually learned about in an art history class that I took at NYU, but unfortunately this temple was like a big friggin maze.
		This temple complex is known for it's tea ceremony, which isn't something that really interests me...so I just left cause I was starting to get tired and hungry and it was getting late and I was figuring that the temple was going to close soon anyway.

		Effectively the temples became a branch of the civil service, part of the tight system of control that ensured peace in Japan for centuries.
		In the Rinzai system, where only the roshi or zen master was permitted to teach, most small temples were staffed by lower-ranking priests who acted merely as functionaries, unable to share anything of the Dharma with the lay supporters.
		He seceded from the Myoshinji sect of the Rinzai school and went to court to make his case that the temple stays with him.

		How the temple attributed President Ikeda's dismissal to his alleged criticism of the high priest, based upon a surreptitious tape, is explained in detail in the pamphlets titled Issues Between the Nichiren Shoshu Priesthood and the Soka Gakkai.
		It is ironic, even tragic, that while Gakkai members completely dedicated themselves to commemorating the 700th anniversary of the head temple last year, contributing their time, effort, skills and money, Operation C (its stated goal being the destruction of the Soka Gakkai) was being planned within the ranks of the priesthood.
		But it is clear to me that the temple has intentionally avoided every significant opportunity to work out this situation as equals.

		From then until his passing on the thirteenth day of the tenth month, he presented public sermons on the "On Securing the Peace of the Land Through the Propagation of True Buddhism," (Rissho Ankoku Ron) and designated six disciples who were to continue the advancement of his religious organization.
		Even if the construction of numerous temples is sanctioned by the authorities in power, if the Law that forms the underlying foundation of the nation is blemished, then it is impossible to expect it to become pure in the future.

		Of the temple's two gardens, the smaller is of more importance, it being a Zen encapsulation of a universe, reduced and abstracted for meditation.
		The larger garden, but still quite small, is a semi-stroll garden; it has not been designed to be viewed from a fixed point, yet you do not have the freedom to walk around as you do at, say, Katsura Rikyu.

		That’s not too different than the temple, but the nice thing is this place is more centrally located and there’s no curfew.
