"A holy place of silent beauty and strict discipline, Enryakuji
may at first glance seem uninviting. But Hieizan (Mt. Hiei)
is grounded in the beliefs of people who are passionate, possess
a warmness of spirit, and have a zest for life. The approach
and essence of Hieizan Enryakuji (Mt. Hiei's Enryakuji) can
be found in our strong conviction to face those pursuing life
in a very straightforward way." Quoted from http://www.hieizan.or.jp/
