Daihonzan Eiheiji, also known as "The Temple of Eternal Peace," is a Zen monastery nestled in the mountains near Fukui City, Japan. Founded by Zen Master Dōgen in 1244, Eiheiji is a place where over one hundred monks dedicate themselves to the practice of shikantaza ("single-minded sitting"). Visitors are welcome to experience the serene atmosphere and participate in religious activities while respecting the temple's rules. With a focus on harmony and cooperation, Eiheiji embodies the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha and strives for eternal peace through mindfulness and selflessness.
