Ekoji Buddhist Temple
at 6500 Lakehaven Lane, Fairfax Station
Ekoji means “The Temple of the Gift of Light.” Our mother temple is Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-Ha in Kyoto, Japan and our denomination is commonly known as Shin Buddhism. A Japanese monk named Shinran established this form of Buddhism in the 12th century. Our temple was founded in 1981 in Northern Virginia and moved to its current location in 1998. The aim of our fellowship is to live the life of gratitude, and share the rejoicing of it with others, having awakened to the fact that we are being taken care of by the Immeasurable Light and Life, the Wisdom and Compassion of Amida Buddha. There are many cherry trees around our temple. They blossom beautifully when the spring comes. Please come and enjoy them. The road to Ekoji is wide and has no gate. We welcome you at any time.
