共に生きる
life with us
Kobo Daishi (Kukai) had two visions for Koyasan.
The first was creating a site for prayer for the betterment of society and the people living in it.
The second was training talented people to contribute to the happiness of that society and those people.
Even today, 1,200 years later, Kongobuji’s mission is living together in vow with people and society.
Social contributions
Followers of Kongobuji can support society in a range of ways, including relief activities in the aftermath of disaster, training seeing-eye dogs, foster parent programs, and other activities.
