Untōan in Minami-Uonuma is the biggest Zen temple in Niigata. The main gate (first photo) has a sign that reads 雲洞庵の土踏んだか / Untōan no tsuchi funda ka / Have you tread on the soil of Untōan? It refers to the stone-paved approach from the main gate to the main hall (second photo). The Lotus Sutra, one of the most popular Mahāyāna sutras, is inscribed on stones, one character per stone, which are embedded at a depth of 1 meter beneath this path. Legend has it that walking down the path will erase your sins and bring you happiness.
