Zenkoji temple receives gift from Dalai Lama
An update about Zenkoji temple, which was mentioned in a couple Japan Probe posts earlier this year about the Olympic torch relay in Nagano:
A priest at Nagano’s Zenkoji temple displays a gift from the Dalai Lama–presented by the Tibetan spiritual leader at a Nov. 6 meeting in Tokyo–to acknowledge the temple’s support prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Zenkoji in April withdrew from its planned role as starting point for the Japan leg of the Olympic torch relay, citing China’s crackdown on Tibetan protesters.
