Chisoku-in, Buddhist sub-temple in Nara Park, Japan.
The Chisoku-in temple stands within the Tōdai-ji complex, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and surrounded by gardens.
Established during the Heian period, this sub-temple served as a center for Buddhist practice and learning within the larger Tōdai-ji complex.
The temple name Chisoku-in combines two significant kanji characters: chi meaning wisdom and soku meaning sufficiency, reflecting Buddhist philosophical principles.
Visitors can access Chisoku-in through Nara Park's main pathways, with the temple maintaining regular opening hours aligned with Tōdai-ji's schedule.
The temple grounds contain specific meditation areas where Buddhist monks historically practiced the concept of finding contentment through spiritual awareness.
