#東林院 — Public Fediverse posts

In part thanks to the current head, Nishikawa Genbō (西川玄房 *somewhat of a celebrity in his own right*), Tōrin-in has become well known for its (vegetarian) 'devotional cuisine'. Fresh vegetables are grown behind the temple, and classes are held each Tuesday.

🕯️📿THE IMPERMANENCE OF ALL THINGS🙏🕯️

For one week from mid-October each year Tōrin-in (東林院), a sub-temple of Myōshin-ji, illuminates its main garden with 800 candles.
The "Bontō no akari ni shitashimu-kai" (梵燈のあかりに親しむ会) is intended as an elegant form of prayer.

Lined up along the length of the temple veranda were thousands of tiny pieces of sliced daikon radishes, drying in the cold winter air😮

Despite the recent rain and snow, winter in Kyōto is a bone-chillingly dry affair.
