Your Comments

While on the Henro Pilgrimage, I could not see the blog so I did not read your comments. However, I have just finished and want to say thanks for all the kind words.

Barbara, the name of Temple 15 is Kokubunji and it is a Soto Zen temple. Most of the 88 temples are Shingon, but a few (I counted four in a quick scan) are not: two Rinzai Zen, one Soto Zen and one Tendai. I should also note that a number of branches of Shingon are prepresented in addition to the Koyasan based group.
