May all beings under the heavens and within the four seas live in accordance with the Wonderful Dharma. May peace spread throughout the country by establishing the True Dharma. 4.

IPOH: Konnichiwa! Well, the Japanese writing on the wall did not say “hello” but there is much history on the cave walls in Gunung Datok, Tambun, here.

The cave, where the Japanese writings were discovered, is believed to have once housed a temple started by a Nichiren Shu priest.
