Meigetsu-in Temple, also known as the "Hydrangea Temple," is a Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple located in Kamakura, Japan. Founded in 1383 by Uesugi Norikata, it is part of the larger Engaku-ji temple complex, which is one of the five great Zen temples of Kamakura. Meigetsu-in is particularly renowned for its beautiful garden, which is famous for its hydrangeas (ajisai) that bloom in June, attracting many visitors.
Meigetsu-in Temple is deeply rooted in Zen Buddhism, specifically the Rinzai sect, which emphasizes rigorous meditation (zazen), koan practice, and direct transmission of knowledge from teacher to student.
Visitors to Meigetsu-in can experience Zen not just through formal meditation sessions but also through the simple act of walking through the gardens, observing nature, and reflecting quietly. The environment of the temple itself encourages a Zen state of mind, where one can practice mindfulness and appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the moment.
