霊友会釈迦殿

This place is so peaceful and the building is bebeautifully constructed. The best for the inner self development. Namumyohorengkyo

Reiyukai Shakaden Temple (霊友会釈迦殿). An impressive structure with a bit of Darth Vadar/Star Wars feel to it.

物々しい外観に惹かれて訪れてみたら、自由に中に入れそうなので、入ってみました。
中は、屋根まで吹き抜けのような、ものすごく広いスペースになっていてビックリ！一見の価値ありです。
他にも自由にみられるものが結構あるので、時間をかけて見るのもお勧めです。

毎年1月にお釈迦様を拝顔するため、1月には靖国神社参拝後、参拝させていただいています。
人に尽くす、社会に尽くす、国家社会に貢献出来るよう、自分の魂を磨く修行が出来ます
先ずは勇気を出して一歩踏み出しませんか？

この土地、建物を維持する為、会員が、一体どれほどの、労働、心労、苦痛、をし
どれほどの、お金が強制的につぎ込まれているか．．．
つらい、もう納められない、給料のほとんどが、会費に消えていく．．．
助けて欲しくても、誰も高額な会費は強制．．．抜け出そうとすれば．．．．
明日も、職員の給料、建物維持の為、労働．．．
誰も助けてはくれない．．．

New temple but the gradure of the architecture and philosophy behind this new religion is interesting. Worth a visit.

It is a Temple that promotes world peace. I arrived when it was closed unfortunately. But architecturally it is simply amazing. It is massive and looks futuristic.

It was Oban Festival and next to the Temple was drums and people dancing.

I came across this building in Tokyo 8 years ago and it was amazing, it almost looked like Aliens built it. If you're in the area stop by to have a look.

Looking like something out of Star Trek, this austere, black, pyramidal structure that rises out of central Tokyo (not well visible here), is a temple of the so-called "Inner Trip Reiyukai", a modern Japanese religion which emerged as an offshoot of Buddhism in the 1930s by initiative of Kakutarō Kubo and Kimi Kotani, and met with quite a success of followers over the '80s both in Japan as well as in many countries abroad, where the sect had representative centers. Shakaden means the "House of Shakyamuni. It is the main temple of the sect and it contains many smaller enclosures under its giant coffin, red benches which can accommodate up to 3500 people and an eight metre Buddha that was carved over a six year period from a thousand-year-old camphor tree. It is enclosed in a special chamber to preserve it. The complex was built in 1975, it comprises the Main Hall, a plaza, a Kotani Hall, a conference room, a cafe, a nursery, a medical centre and also a reservoir containing 400 tonnes of drinking water for use in the event that Tokyo is struck by a major disaster. The building was designed and erected by Takenaka Corporation one of the oldest architectural and enginering enterprises in the country, said to date back to its founder in the XVII century (the same company that built Tokyo Tower and most of the public governmental building around here). It is worth checking out, at least from the outside, if you visit Tokyo Tower.
